Week 1 Discussion

The most intuitive feature was using AI to refine existing content directly in Rise—especially rewriting, shortening, and adjusting tone within lesson blocks. It fit naturally into my workflow and supported Articulate’s focus on accelerating content creation without starting from scratch.

The main challenge was getting AI to consistently reflect instructional intent without very clear prompting. I found that results improved through iteration, reinforcing that AI works best as a collaborative assistant guided by human judgment rather than a one‑click solution. Thos most fun for me was the cookie experiment. Also, it doesn't understand negatives very well. i.e., "Don't use..." It's best to just say what you do want. 

On my wish list: ability to convert to other AI blocks. For example, from a list to a reflection block.
