Changes & Challenges:

1. I added many AI images. I played with a custom prompt to try and make professional vector graphics with a consistent theme. Many of the individual images felt usable on their own, but I couldn't get them to adopt consistent colors throughout my module. I would love if it listened when I said to use a certain hex code as the primary color. I was bummed that the resolution for AI images isn't high enough for full screen or cover images.
2. I played with all the AI text modifications to see if I could improve the writing. The tone and summarization features worked quite well. Unfortunately, the formatting prompt to change a bolded words to another color didn't work. Please fix this feature! 🙏 It would save my team so much time when applying our brand colors. I wish we could apply it to an entire course instead of just individual blocks.
3. I converted plain text to more engaging block types. This is a nice feature that gets us to where we want to go much faster. It takes us about 75% there and we can do the final tweaking, which is still helpful.

Most Valuable AI Features, IMO :

1. AI TTS for Storyline hands-down makes this subscription worth it. The time we save on recording audio narration and syncing captions is immense.
2. Rise's instant convert saves us time making our blocks more engaging.
3. Text tools are helpful for changing tone or simplifying text.

AI Disclaimer [Proceed with Caution]: 

• I personally feel like anyone who gets access to AI needs to solemnly swear to closely fact-check anything generated by AI before it’s published, haha. It worries me that it will be used haphazardly, making our poor learners read through  irrelevant slop. I still strongly believe that we need true instructional designers guiding these tools to identify what’s best for our learners. 

Thanks for including me in your cohort. I appreciated the opportunity to dive deeper into these tools.
