Week 1 Discussion

Which AI Assistant feature felt most intuitive or useful to you during the practice activities?

One of the features I found most useful is Convert a Block. I often change my mind about which block works best, and this tool saves a significant amount of time by removing the need to copy and paste content into a new format.

I love the Create AI Image tool, but I will have to check with my organization for guidelines on usage. At the moment, we are not supposed to use AI to create images due to copyright concerns.

In addition, I’m looking forward to using Create AI Audio in my courses, especially since learner feedback frequently highlights a preference for listening rather than reading large amounts of on-screen text.

Which editing tools (rewrite, shorten, change tone, etc.) did you find most valuable, and why?

I found several of the editing tools valuable. I am very straight and too the point, so the Improve Writing tool helped make my writing a bit more friendly. I think I will use the Make Shorter and Make Longer tools a lot. The Simplify Writing tool will help when using text provided by SMEs. I didn’t use the Create Analogy and Create Scenario tools yet, but I’m excited to try them out in a course. Our course template includes providing key takeaways at the end of the course, so I think the Create Key Takeaways tool will be helpful there.
