Hey Erica! Thanks for sharing your experience! You're right that you'll get a better output from the AI Course Draft if you provide more specific details in the prompt section.
I've found the following prompt structure to produce stellar course drafts:
Create a training for [insert job role] to learn to ______.
Include strategies for _______.
Include a lesson for each of these items:
-Item 1
-Item 2
-Item 3
Tone: [insert words here to describe the tone of the course]
Audience: [insert learner job role here]
Love this discussion!
I follow Dr. Phillippa Hardman, and recently she posted an intriguing prompt to align learning objectives with assessment. She was speaking about prompts for NotebookLM, but we could learn from her thought process. I will share it here:
"Constructive alignment, developed by John Biggs (1996), is the principle that every assessment item should directly reflect a stated learning objective. Put simply: if you can’t draw a straight line from your quiz question back to an objective, the question probably shouldn’t be there
Why it’s powerful
Misaligned evaluation measures the wrong things.
How NotebookLM uniquely helps
Upload objectives + Kirkpatrick framework → instrument table with objective mappings + citations.
Try This Prompt
Using Biggs constructive alignment, draft Level 1-3 evaluation items mapped to objectives.
Table: Item Type | Item Text | Mapped Objective | Kirkpatrick Level | Citation"
Yes, I love Dr. Phil's tips about using AI. Thanks for sharing this. I'd love if she shared more specifically in platforms like Articulate or if her knowledge lake of research was the source they used to have AI make decisions.
