I got into a groove but only focused on the first lesson and the quiz at the end. I can admit, I have my own style and if this was one of my projects, I'd make some interactions or work in some code blocks.
Some changes I made:
- Adjusted the tone to be casual in all the blocks - I'm a fan of plain language.
- I moved a WIIFM up in the front instead of a lesson overview - that way it instantly answers the 'why am I taking this' learners tend to have.
- I also broke pieces out visually to make the content flow.
Valued Capability: I enjoyed learning about the AI prompt writing for images. I usually struggle with describing what I have going on in my brain so, having it write something and I just need to edit it was a huge help!
Challenge: A big challenge with the image generation was standardization. I was trying to use the default "Origami" style but I couldn't get a consistent image. So, I ended up writing a custom style with ChatGPT to fix that issue as much as I could.
Hey KayleneWance, I loved the visual consistency of the content, the style of the images, and the structure. Even though we’re all working with the same material, I feel like you’ve managed to give it a style that’s uniquely yours, and it’s a real pleasure to take the course.
I love the format you used on your first module. Changing up the colors and design from what I normally see made it so fun and interesting. The use of the AI voice to have a consistent coach character throughout made it feel cohesive and makes the learner feel as if they have their own individual trainer. Well done!
Loved the lego people and the look of the course! Really looked good.
OK, here's my link

Three changes I made
- I added AI images to flashcards.
- Used AI to assist with re-writing and re-formatting content.
- Created Questions using specific content within the course.
AI Feature:
If I have to only pick one...I liked the ability to convert the questions to different types of Knowledge checks. It was so helpful to be able to switch from one to the other and see how they worked within the content.
Challenge:
AI image creation is inconsistent and doesn’t always produce what you want.
CarmelaWilbur-7 - Great job! I really enjoyed the images you chose for your flashcards!
Hello,
How do I share my output? I don't have the quick share option from my end? See screenshot below:
Ernie , thanks for sharing the screenshot. I am going to hand this one to AlyssaGomez since she is the expert. Hopefully, it is an easy workaround. We will get you an answer soon.
I am sorry it is taking so long to get back on this. I did a search in the Rise User Guide and this is a suggestion that I found.
If Quick Share links are restricted in your environment, here are the other supported ways to share Rise 360 content:
- Publish to Reach 360 (if your team uses Reach 360): submit training from Rise 360 to be published for learners.
- Export an LMS package: export the course as a package and upload it to your LMS (best when you need to track learner progress).
- Host the course on a web server: export for web and host it on your own server (best long-term option when you don’t need tracking).
- Export to PDF: for printing or archiving.
I will reach out again to AlyssaGomez . Thank you for your patience!
I also have the same concern. Sharing is disabled by our org. Do we have an alternative option?
Hi jur I'm not sure. Let me ask AlyssaGomez. Ma'am since Quick share is not available from our end. What other options do we have?
Thanks!
Hi All,
Here's my quick share link.
3 Changes I've made:
- Added AI images to various blocks where I thought they made sense.
- Created a custom block with dialogue between a manager and employee using AI voice and scripting, using the scenario of what prompts.
- Instant Convert and change tone on some blocks that seemed better as an interactive instead of plain paragraph text.
What I found most valuable was building the course at the very beginning. Most of my e-learnings started with looking at a blank course and figuring out what to write down or how to design the training content. Huge time saver!
My challenge was with AI images; some images were great, but there were horrible spelling mistakes. When prompting the AI algorithm to avoid text, it would use it anyway. Mild frustration, but was able to complete the activity.
BrandonThomp325 Looks good! I really enjoyed the overall theme and flow of your course. Great choice with the AI images.
Good job! I like the blue color you chose as your main theme color. It's very calming. I did think the flow was good along with the tone.
I had a similar issue with image generation being inconsistent and adding words when I didn't ask. I'm glad I'm not the only one!
My suggestion is based on the font and it's just coming from an accessibility standpoint. Some places the font was a bit small and hard to read with that compact font.
Excellent work, BrandonThomp325 ! The look and feel of your course was very consistent and professional. I had fun with the audio scenario. 😃
One item I want to highlight is that for questions in the quiz, you set it up as a multiple-response question when in fact it was a single response that you were asking of the learner. The boxes indicate multiple responses, and the radio button indicates one response. Do you translate your courses to another language? Our company has found it hard to translate a fill-in-the-blank question across languages. Just curious.
Thanks for sharing!
SusanWhalen0822 Thanks for the feedback! I took the AI-generated quiz at face value. Next time, I will review them properly.
As for the questions about translations, we have not looked into doing translations. Our training content is primarily designed in English. However, we could benefit from performing localizations; the limiting factor is that we lack personnel to proofread the translations for accuracy.
Here is my quick share link.

I tried to make a few different changes and apply some of the neat tricks. I love the ability to change out the blocks using AI. And I love that it keeps the old version until we are set that is what we want for the training. The biggest challenge I found was attempting to change the picture in a text/image combo. I gave up on trying to modify it to barn animals.Great job, JodyW ! I had to chuckle at the animal image which made me think of Animal Farm 👩🌾The green color underscored the earthy theme.
You put together a professional course. I wanted to point out that there is a difference between multiple-response style questions and single-response questions. The multiple-response layout provides boxes to select all that apply. The radio button indicates a single response is required. This is a way we visually convey to the learner what is expected.
Thanks for sharing the link. I enjoyed it.

I have a question. I have completed the activity but was adding a Storyline block to the end of the course, since I wanted to use the 'sound effect' feature. I know with most Storyline courses if there is audio you have to click play, I wanted it to auto play so I added a first slide to auto advance to the slide with my sound effect. It's not working in my course -- Here is my Storyline block which works fine in Review
https://360.articulate.com/review/content/1d541482-cd30-4fc4-9893-293ada7a2770/review
It doesn't work in my course. Any suggestions?
Well now it doesn't even appear to be working in Review 360. Well, it's sporadic. It'll work one time then stop. Not sure what is going on.
Hi TracyWindsor-96 thanks for including your Review 360 link! It actually worked on my computer--I heard the "Woohoo!" sound when I clicked on the "Congratulations, You completed this learning" image. It may be that your web browser is blocking the audio from playing?
Hello, everyone! 😊
Quick Share link to my course: https://share.articulate.com/4OoVIqNkOXzodOYYkV7kY
3 changes I made:
- I added multiple custom AI-generated images throughout the course using style prompts inspired by David Anderson. Instead of relying on generic stock visuals, I tailored each image to match the specific content and tone of the lesson.
- I converted several static content blocks into interactive blocks to keep attention.
-
I refined most of the text, including lesson titles, to make it more concise and engaging.
AI features I find most valuable:
- Instant convert
- AI knowledge check block
Challenges I faced:
-
It took some trial and error to figure out how to write prompts that produced useful, accurate results.
- When using the instant convert feature, I noticed that the generated block sometimes omitted portions of the original text, which required additional review.
I love how you incorporated the theme colors and AI image colors so well. This ties in nicely with the Four Pillars of Team Happiness topic!
Awesome job, KatieRiggio ! The extra effort with the image creation is really apparent. The color scheme is peaceful and matches the topic well.
Have you generated a quiz in Rise? The activity was really worthwhile in my experience. I typically design in Storyline, so for this cohort I enjoyed working in a new environment. In Rise, the quiz creation process is straightforward and can be quite easy.
Thanks so much, SusanWhalen0822 ! I'm also more familiar with Storyline, so it's been nice getting extra hands-on experience with Rise. Agreed with the quiz creation process being intuitive and simple!

3 Changes I made:
- I added AI images to flip cards using the 3D setting to make these engaging.
- I converted 3-4 different text blocks into a process block.
- I converted key info or text into statement blocks with an image behind and AI audio.
Valuable AI Feature
- I think the most valuable feature is the instant convert. I have been using this for a while so it's not new, but I still love it so much!
- The new feature I enjoyed exploring was the AI image prompt.
Challenges
- AI images are hard to get exactly what you want and to be consistent.
Hey RinWeaver, great job—I loved the 3D images; I feel like they really fit the content.
Hi Rin,
Thanks for sharing your completed course!
- I like that you animated your photos past what was generated. Shows that you are trying to engage where possible with AI Assistant.
- I also enjoy that you used AI audio in numerous spots.
- I thought some sections were a bit long, but that also goes with the course information.
- That said, I thought sections were broken up well. They were chunked well for the learner
Rinweaver, I like the use of the process blocks and the AI images you selected, especially the one with the yoga pose. It looks like you were able to use the AI assistant to make the images consistent with the theme. Some suggestions would be an option to review the course after failing the quiz instead of just restarting the quiz and making all knowledge checks mandatory instead of a few.
Alrighty... hope I'm doing this correctly - here's my vid (don't judge!):
https://share.articulate.com/nneHpBYJhRJClLlX81GAo
Changes I made included updating the cover photo, bolding keywords, and adding a glorious quiz.
I found the image creation options to be most valuable (I appreciated the options).
I didn't run into challenges when working with the AI component - woohoo!I loved your sorting activity. I had thought about that but second guessed myself thinking it would be too much of a hassle with 4 categories. After seeing yours...i think it would have been a better idea than flip cards. Great job!
You shared the link perfectly, JennWoods ! I love how you combined the slideshow with a flipcard interaction. With your permission, I may borrow the idea 🧐
Man, your team pizza palooza image is making me hungry!! 🍕
In one of your matching activities, there were cards with a greater than sign at the end. I found it confusing initially thinking it was a typo. Just a reminder to give clear instructions to the learner. Perhaps a statement that when you see this sign, match the card to what would complete the sentence.
Thanks for sharing your course!

Three Changes:
1. Added audio
2. Added AI generated pictures to flashcards3. Used instant convert for process blocks
Valuable:- Loved instant convert
- the AI picture styles
- AI summary
Challenges, AI pictures, really need to be specific about what you want, definitely the more details the better. Noticed some words in pictures were gibberish, until more specific prompts were used.
