Welcome & Introductions
Brian Waters here from Lydney in the United Kingdom. Am I the only Brit here? I did have a quick scan but didn't see any more. I work for Sage software and am a Senior Instructional Designer.
I produce with Storyline (mostly self taught or taught by watching my colleagues) in various companies over the last X number of years. I have used Rise 360 as well although it isn't tool of choice at the moment. Currently creating learning with AI text to speech and believe the Storyline voices are the best quality there is anywhere. Don't do much else with AI Assistant at all because we are primarily internally template driven, and have fairly strict branding guidelines and style guides to follow. Looking to see how else Articulate's AI assistant can shave time off for time strapped content developers.
I have a dog (Nacho) š- he's a forever hungry 3 year old Sprocker Spaniel in liver and white colour) and a cat (Sparkle) šŗ- She's a tabby, 12 year old, the boss of the house, does what she likes - when she likes, and is very affectionate when she wants something, and when she's not busy sleeping.
I myself am 62 years of age - and some might say long in the tooth, but am no dinosaur. In other news, I am sitting my motorcycle test on the 6th March, and will be looking to buy a motorcycle of sorts as soon after that as possible - just put it down to a rather late mid-life crisis! šļø *The attached photo is the last time I rode a motorcycle - 41 years ago!
*Oh, and by the way, this piece was written WITHOUT the help of AI - hence the spelling and typos.
Hi BrianWaters-6b8ā! What an epic photo of you on the motorcycle!
Your point about strict branding and templates can feel like a real constraint. Iām excited for you to experiment with ways AI Assistant can support your course-building workflow without disrupting your established standards. I recommend you try adding some of those branding guidelines and standards to the course description area of the Rise AI Course Draft generator. I think you'll be surprised at how well it handles those guidelines!
Absolutely I saw that in one of the videos this morning - and noticed that I can provide almost a notebook of sources for it to work from - and one could be brand guidelines obviously. In my downtime (Huh? š) I may well try that. Another issue I have with the whole create with AI thing is that as part of our global process we don't create scripts on the fly in the tool. The script is signed off and set in stone in the earlier stage, so although it is great to see it can be done it does actually go a bit against the grain. Convince me, and I could become a fan.
You may be the only true Brit but my husbands family is from Devon and currently lives in Cambridge so I like to count myself as Brit by association š
You aren't alone! Fellow brit here. East London working in Canary Wharf.
Hi Brian, I'm a fellow Brit, originally from Devon! Now in New Jersey, not like the OG. :-)
