3 changes I made to the Rise AI Course to improve learner engagement and why I made the changes:

-          Generate course summary feature & quiz

Why: This gives the learner a nice recap of the course. I can see myself using the to answer questions from leadership about “what’s covered” in a course. I can see us converting these to take-away PDF docs for learners. I can also use this during development to show SME what’s covered and what may need to be added. Sharing the quiz can also be helpful for SMEs.

-          Edit Text with AI combined with Custom Process Blocks (Simple Process and Simple Process Vertical)

Why: I used the Simple Process Vertical to show the list or steps in a section. I realize this is not the “proper” use to the block however it gradient color with shorter AI Text made the list much more visually appealing and grab people attention when I scrolled through the course to with friends and co-workers. One person who was passively paying attention said, “Stop what’s that?” Which is want I want learners to do when engaging with content.

-          Storyline Animation then added the Storyline block into Rise

Why: I do a lot of work in Storyline and ability to add quick animation will make the content more interesting and can be leveraged to help manage the cognitive load of learners but gradually displaying information or speeding up the display of content to make some information more exciting. I see endless opportunities to leverage this feature. I also prefer minimalist leading design or has my manager and team members say “clean” design. The animation can add some sizzle to my minimalist clean design style.

Which AI feature or capability was most valuable in your workflow, and why? The two most valuable immediate impacts to my workflow are the ability to check grammar and spelling plus the ability to increase/decrease the amount to text quickly.

Did anything about it surprise you? The amount of AI features that have been added and the easy of use. The prompting is easy and the ability to save images for future use. The combination of the custom blocks, Storyline Blocks with AI in both Rise and Storyline increased my productivity and my imagination is running wild with the things I can create to make dull topics more engaging. The output to engaging PDFs as takeaways is exciting and expands our content beyond the LMS.

What challenges did you face when trying to get AI to produce the results you wanted?

Two challenges I experienced:

1 – The Convert to List would not work when the content was in an Accordion.  I think Convert to List should be disabled or not appear on the list if it is not functional when trying to convert content from an Accordion.

2- After I was going through adding AI audio to blocks, at one point the audio would generate a 0-minute blank tracks. It did this several times on two different blocks. I took a break and came back, and it worked. Was this because there are tokens or limits on AI generation for a day or time period?
