Hi everyone, here is the link

Three changes I made to the Rise AI Course Draft to improve learner engagement were: 

1) Added a hook with storytelling. I did this to draw people in and also to demonstrate what good looks like and what "not so good" looks like.  

2) At the end of the course, I came back to the characters in the "hook" to continue the story and I used audio to "bring the characters to life" for increased engagement and I felt it really provided a genuine human experience, since the topic at hand is really about our humanity and what we crave in order to love our work.  

3) I changed a lot of the straight text into activities to provide more engagement, and I also combined one of the elements of the draft together as one section instead of two, providing an audio experience.  I found the two sections were very similar and so I combined them. 

The AI feature or capability that was most valuable is hard to select, I think there were many things that were helpful, so will list my key ones:  A) Starting from multiple "source of truth" docs/ppt etc.  and being able to ask AI to create a draft from them B) the AI images, saved what would have been hours trying to locate suitable images C) the quiz making and ability to ask AI to provide feedback in each quiz answer, which again saves SO much time!  D) the text to audio, having AI help to expand the text and then create audio clips at the click of button, is AMAZING! 

The challenges I faced when trying to get AI to produce the results you wanted were mainly during image creation.  I found that I would have to do multiple requests to get just the right ones, but of course, the fact that we can save them and use again is phenomenal.  (Oops there's another valuable feature! 😄)
I didn't save them during this exercise because I was playing with the imagery, but once we land on a look and feel for our courses, this will be such an advantage!   Another challenge was learning custom blocks, it took me a bit to understand what I was doing, but with some helpful guidance from Chat GPT I was able to create a couple of custom blocks using audio!
