Week 2 Discussion

https://share.articulate.com/YaReWGWoWuXkwz8y6FF9S

Really impressed with the image generation feature. I can always fine‑tune later, but I can see this saving me a huge amount of time.

The draft generation feature was super helpful. It gave me a solid starting point, and then I could easily jump back in and add or remove lessons without overthinking anything. It made the whole process feel way more manageable. It also helped me see which supporting documents I might need, so now I have a better idea of what to ask SMEs for.

I'd love to see some AI assist around scenario creation - specifically taking a block of text and turning it into a scenario. This would be great if it could be combined with the AI image generation to keep the overall look/feel the same throughout. 

The assistant was so great for text updates (font, bolding, etc.). I also really enjoyed changing and updating and trying different styles of images throughout the content.

What’s one AI technique you learned in the Week 2 Guided Practice Activity that you plan to apply right away in your current projects?
Like several others, I liked the "Open with Hook" prompt to immediately grab the learner's attention.  I played around with the length, tone and reading level of that feature as well. 

Where did the AI course draft generation add the most value to the course-building workflow, and where did you need to step in with your own expertise?
I recently used the AI features to create a course and found it really helpful to start with as a brainstorming partner.  Before this course I rewrote sections on my own, but I learned how to iterate items with the simplify writing, make shorter, make longer and change tone tools.  Also, being able to change formats and block styles with the convert feature is great.  I usually have to step in to cut back text. I think the auto-generation tends to be wordy and create extra summary blocks that aren't always necessary.   

Is anyone having any challenges with the AI Images? I am trying to complete the practice items and nothing is coming up when I select AI Images. I have cleared my cache / browsing history. Tried Incognito mode in Chrome. Plus restarted my computer and nothing. It worked for me earlier this week and now it is giving me a blank page when I try to generate images with AI. Any guidance anyone can provide is greatly appreciated. TIA.

What’s one AI technique you learned in the Week 2 Guided Practice Activity that you plan to apply right away in your current projects?
One AI technique I plan to apply right away is the “Open with Hook” strategy to start lessons in a more engaging way. I used Scanario based on Character. II also found the formatting options like adding headings, bolding keywords, and converting text into bullet points very useful for improving content structure quickly.

Where did the AI course draft generation add the most value to the course-building workflow, and where did you need to step in with your own expertise?
The AI draft generation was helpful in creating the initial course structure and summarizing the source content into lesson blocks. However, I needed to step in to refine the content, adjust the tone, change block types, add image, generate Image in AI,  and add scenarios, summaries, and knowledge checks to make the course more engaging and aligned with learning objectives.

  • Block conversion! A really nice and fast way to see how the content might appear in multiple ways.

  • Nice to get that outline, have things laid out in order. Design-wise, I would want to step in and improve upon the layout of the individual lessons,

Draft/course generation! What a big timesaver. Being able to upload source documents into Rise and "watch" it generate a fleshed out course is a powerful tool. Use the AI image generator more often (another big time-saver).

Where did the AI course draft generation add the most value to the course-building workflow, and where did you need to step in with your own expertise?

The biggest value added was the time-saving aspect! Being able to take multiple source documents and combine them into creating a singe course is fantastic. I did have to review the first draft and made some very slight tweaks (mostly, basic punctuation).

What’s one AI technique you learned in the Week 2 Guided Practice Activity that you plan to apply right away in your current projects?

I find that generating custom image prompts is very helpful because it provides a great way for me to create a draft of the image and then make any necessary adjustments.

Where did the AI course draft generation add the most value to the course-building workflow, and where did you need to step in with your own expertise?

The AI course draft generator significantly improves efficiency when creating drafts from Word, PDF, or PowerPoint source materials. However, IDs do need to collaborate closely with SMEs to review and validate the learning objectives and lesson outlines, ensuring the content follows a clear and logical flow. Also, IDs must refine images, language, interactive elements, and quiz questions to meet organizational standards and incorporate SME feedback.

The AI block generation tool was really helpful and saved so much time. I will definitely be using it in the future.

Where did the AI course draft generation add the most value to the course-building workflow, and where did you need to step in with your own expertise?

I found that the draft generation really helped with creating a basic flow to the course, and then I was able to step in and adjust what was needed, without spending all the time having to create the format. Will definitely use the draft generator in the future.

I plan to use the formatting key words or phrases AI technique right away. Currently, I am meeting with a group of content experts weekly to review their courses and they are wanting to bold key words throughout. I can now work a head of the meetings using this feature and be able to ask their feedback. This will more than likely decrease the amount of meetings we need as well.

The AI course draft generation added the most value in the production/development stage. Content experts provide the content in their file formats and then being able to upload and AI produce the course is a huge time saver. I don't have to manually create the blocks, copy and paste content or retype, etc. I can then go in an have it rewrite and generate AI images. I can change content to be interactive. 

My knowledge has expanded immensely and I am excite to work with these features moving forward. Thank you!
