Share 3 changes you made to the Rise AI Course Draft to improve learner engagement.
- I used AI Rewrite: Make Shorter or Make into Bullets. My company writing style does NOT like wordy blocks of text. We write direct & use bullets a lot. I also liked the Instant Convert to break up a lot of text into something more interactive.
Which AI feature or capability was most valuable in your workflow, and why? Did anything about it surprise you?
- I think I'll use the AI rewrite most because it's so versatile to check for spelling/grammar, use the prebuilt prompts or even write your own! It's amazing how dialed in you can get with your own prompt.
What challenges did you face when trying to get AI to produce the results you wanted?
- It's not perfect. Generating AI images can take trial & error to get the image & style you want. I also couldn't make it work to tell AI Rewrite to change the bold words to a certain color.
Wow look at your amazing imagery! I think that overall, your images enhanced and made this course really come together for me. In the first lesson, I believe you added Continue blocks which really helped me slow down and take the course slowly. I'd love to see those blocks used in all of the lessons!
Hi CarolynKeilman​ nice job! i really liked the theme page and the custom images you created throughout the project. Also, the block of texts that you have with different backgrounds was a nice touch to break up the content.
CarolynKeilman​, I really enjoyed your course! My company also doesn't like long blocks of text, so I have found myself using the "shorten" and "bulletize" features almost daily after completing this cohort!
Instant Covert is so nice for when you're hitting a mental block and are struggling to come up with an interactivity.
I'd agree that the image prompting still is far from perfect, but I have to say it has come SO far from the first time I tried it. It is starting to really nail hands and features, but again, isn't perfect. I can't wait to see how far it comes in the next year!
Hi everyone,
First I want to let everyone know that I'm not really "that student" who has to be first, do the thing ahead of time (ha ha!) -- it's just that I had time today and I'm booked the two real weeks of the course so I wanted to try to complete it while I had the chance.
Here's my course:

I made a bunch of changes to the course draft to improve learner engagement, but the three main ones are: I had it revise the learning objectives (it originally gave too many for a course of this length). I made a lot of changes to the theme including color and font choices. I utilized the AI generated images to add some more visual interest. Specifically, in the first lesson, I added images to each of the four pillars. I also used AI to generate the main course image (then cropped it). I also really enjoyed adding the audio pieces to the course. I made a "scenario" scene in the last lesson that I think will really increase learner engagement and interest.
I think the ability to take text then use the "generate AI prompt for image" feature was really helpful to me. I'd not tried that technique before and I felt like it was really useful. I also really appreciated the tip about using the same image style throughout in order to get more consistency.
The challenges were similar to ones I have in general getting an AI to do / produce what I want -- it's always about the prompt. For example, I realized that by writing "a diverse team of workers" I would get a better mix of race & gender than by writing "a team of diverse workers" (which resulted in almost all white male people in the group).
I will check back closer to the end of the cohort so I can see everyone else's creations! I'm looking forward to seeing what you all made! 😀
If you get a chance, I'd love for you to reply and tell me what you think about mine and if you have any suggestions (or if you noticed anything that I might have missed in terms of what the AI generated). Thanks in advance and I really enjoyed being in here with you all.
Great work, DianaPerdue​ - I think one of my favorite features is also the "generate AI prompt for image" as well as the consistent image style. The AI image prompt helps take the guesswork out of generating the "perfect" image.
I really enjoyed the sorting activity at the end!
I experienced the same issue with a lack of diversity in the AI generated images, which I honestly find surprising these days. I don't recall the exact prompt I wrote, but I wanted an image of someone on a teams/online meeting with 9 participants and they were all white males. I had to specify "diverse" to get what I'd expect to see with that number of people in a request.
Nice job Diana! I like your edits & your color scheme & the way block color was used to chunk sections. One thing I've run into myself is if text doesn't quite fit on the card, it gives a scroll bar, which is awkward. Maybe just decrease the text size on all the cards to avoid the bar on the one.
Hi there, this isn't my "official" post for the assignment, but I wanted to mention a tech glitch I discovered. I didn't see another discussion forum to put this so hope it's ok I put it here. When I was going through the Tips & Tricks: How to Get the Most Value Out of AI Assistant and trying the formatting key words & phrases in lesson 4, the AI didn't change the color of the bold words. I could "manually" change the color by selecting and putting the hex code, but the AI didn't do it. They remained black not blue. Wondering if anyone else had this issue? I'm on a Mac. Also, wanted to mention I had an issue being able to see the drop down menu items that included options mentioned in the practice sessions -- I ended up having to adjust my zoom to less than 100% so I could see the items, otherwise, they only appeared as one line at a time.
Hey DianaPerdue​ thanks for mentioning this! Did you notice the words did not turn blue even after you selected "Replace text" or "Insert below" to return back to the paragraph block? I ask because the AI text editing window doesn't show color, but you'll see the color after you accept the changes and close the window. Let me know if you already tried that!
AlyssaGomez​ correct -- the words didn't turn blue even after I inserted the text below and returned back to the paragraph block.
