Week 2 - Group 3 Discussion
Hi everyone, here is my link: https://share.articulate.com/g7oZatbRXRD6BjkYz_6L3
Share 3 changes you made to the Rise AI Course Draft to improve learner engagement. Why did you make those changes to your project? Be specific!
- I enjoyed adding custom AI images to improve the content's aesthetics and create a theme that ties all the content together.
- I converted a long block of text into flashcards to break up a long block of written information into smaller bite sized pieces of information to assist in the learner's retention.
- I added a hook to the introductory paragraph. I liked the AI feature which included a scenario since stories are more interesting for the learner to initially draw them in.
Which AI feature or capability was most valuable in your workflow, and why? Did anything about it surprise you?
Creating a Course level quiz and being able to generate AI 'fill in the blank' type questions was extremely helpful and a time saver. I tend to have difficulty creating fill in the blank questions so this was a huge benefit. The custom responses were also helpful in providing feedback to the learner if they answered incorrectly.
Outside of AI, I appreciated the bonus info on how to use the manage block feature which I was unaware of previously.
What challenges did you face when trying to get AI to produce the results you wanted?
Historically, I have had slight issues generating a course from scratch using the 'Create with AI' button. Sometimes the information is a bit overexplained and does not capture the key elements of the documents that I upload. I am sure this could also be me being picky about the content and what makes most sense to me. From this AI cohort, I have good ideas to help me navigate this more challenging part of creating a course from scratch (e.g., using the cogwheel to select the main source document).
Also, struggled a bit with the custom style in the AI image. Even though using the same prompt under custom Style, the images were more cartoon like in the beginning and then more like a photo towards the end. I think I would have needed to play around with the description more to get a more consistent image theme.
EdwardPark​, I really liked how you bolded some of the content throughout. On the summary page, this was especially helpful. I noticed in the quiz that a few of the questions were multiple response (with check boxes to select more than one) instead of multiple-choice. I'm wondering if these were AI-generated or if you created these. Typically, I use multiple response questions only when there is more than one correct answer, which avoids the learner getting confused.
The fill-in-the-blank question was great! Overall, you did a great job!
