Hi all from Maine! It has been a WEEK and I have loved having this exercise to do in the few moments between chaos. I can definitely feel more confident in playing around with the functions and features in Rise, and especially with the AI tools!

My changes are mainly in the first lesson. I spent a lot of time just trying new things (the "what does this button do?" style of clicking) and also broke the AI Avatar generator when I tried to put my construction worker on the surface of the moon. I left her at the construction site for now. I don't have a work related use for construction workers and figured this was my chance!

Changes I made:

  • Of course had fun tweaking AI generated photos and adjusting the prompts. I didn't realize how much could be done with the prompting and the style! 
  • Used the AI instant convert tool to quickly create different interactions and decide which worked best for that topic.
  • AI helped me make knowledge check questions and a final quiz - this is a game changer for me. So much time has been spent reading through the SME's materials to draft a knowledge check question! I love being able to select exactly the topic or materials to use/target.

AI Feature

I've already talked up the knowledge check tool - so, I'll also give a shout-out to the instant convert. When it's hard to visualize how the interaction will fit into the flow, the ability to quickly mock up 'version 1' drafts of interactions to try out is fabulous. I also found myself going deeper into the Edit with AI menu just to play with how the changes would look. The ability to quickly duplicate and delete blocks (as well as move them between lessons!) is such an organizational lifesaver!

Challenge

My biggest challenge remains feeling comfortable being creative with the AI prompts. It's a big change from just typing in a keyword to find a stock image - the endless possibilities are a bit overwhelming to consider. I started a Rise course just to save various image prompts and visually see how the slight style tweaks changed the generated image. I do think that giving myself a space to play and continue to be curious will be an effective way for me to build my confidence in this regard. 

Thank you for this cohort! The lessons were great and I really enjoyed the opportunity to be curious!
