Since I’ve been working mostly in Rise, I found the AI feature for generating first drafts the most helpful. As a newer instructional designer, starting from a blank page can feel overwhelming. Having AI create a starting point for lesson text or knowledge checks made the process feel more manageable.
I was surprised by how well it could adjust tone. The rewrite and shorten tools were especially useful for making content clearer and more conversational. That said, I did run into challenges when my prompts were too general. The responses felt generic until I added more context about the audience and learning goals.
Overall, I see AI as a support tool that improves efficiency, but it still requires thoughtful editing and alignment to ensure the content truly fits the course.
I agree that the AI feature is wonderful for generating first drafts. I like using it with a detailed outline that I've iterated with another AI tool from all my source documents. I find it helps make the Rise output more focused.
I agree with you that rewrite and shorten tools seem really useful. I find the output can be very wordy at times (much like myself!) and this is such an easy tool to fix that. That more conversational tone is helpful for keeping learners engaged and not having it come off as an information dump.
Good luck!!
