Q: Which Rise AI editing tools did you find most valuable, and why?
I really liked the Convert a Block feature and the Create a Knowledge Check tool. Convert a Block saved me time because I could quickly change layouts without rebuilding content from scratch. It made it easy to experiment and see what worked best.
The Knowledge Check tool was also helpful since it gave me a solid starting point for assessment questions that I could build using the existing content. Some of the more general AI features felt like things could easily do in ChatGPT, but the Rise-specific tools are game changers.
Q: What challenges did you face when trying to get AI to produce the results you wanted?
The biggest challenge for me was image generation for flashcards and in Storyline. It was a bit hit or miss. When the details in the content were abstract or used words like "cookie", having to rewrite it in a way that allowed for accurate image generation was a challenge. The images didn’t always match what I had in mind. I found myself rewriting prompts to be more specific so the AI would generate something usable.
Who doesn't like cookies?! 😀 Even AI likes cookies 😀 To work on the 4th image for the flashcards task, I asked to generate AI image prompt and then told AI not to mention cookies. It defaulted to, basically, creating an image about privacy. It worked in this scenario but, yes, I can see how in some scenarios you'd have to sit down and write your own prompt to match what you have in mind. But overall, AI does a decent job.
I found much the same thing. When I told it to avoid showing edible cookies, I still got a few images with them. Still, this was better than a year ago when asking the image generator to avoid something guaranteed that you would get nothing but that thing. It was honestly a bit nightmarish😂 Still, I found the best way to avoid getting cookies in this exercise was to simply avoid using that word.
I used "website cookies" and it worked pretty well! And I generated a cookies images just for fun actually! 🤭
I struggled with that image a bit too. I finally defined what a session cookie was in the AI prompt and then it gave me an image I could use.
