Is L&D's role expanding in the age of AI?
My ELH weekly challenge submission, and final course in my AI series, sits very nicely with the article I think!
AI drafts fast, confidently, and about half of it is wallpaper. This course teaches you to edit it, spot the six tells, fix them without swapping one kind of slop for another, and check the numbers a model will invent with a straight face.
Tools used: Canva, Gemini and Rise Canvas
DShaw, wow!
Thanks for the red pen exercise. I learned several things I was oblivious to (now, I'll delay my judgment, when I see a pristinely designed site with the bluish-purplish colors, dotted borders, and stars for the sake of stars).
The interactions you built into the Rise course were phenomenal!
I know you said you used Canva, Gemini, and Rise Canvas. Have you published a "this is how I built it" video? I would love to see the process. Your design gave me inspo for a course I want to build.
I haven't created a 'how I built it' video, but perhaps that's something for another day! The basic workflow is as follows: Create the design and layout of each section in Canva and convert to code also in Canva - Create the interactions in Rise Canvas - Use Gemini to help code the section transitions and combine all the code together into one file (you could use any LLM for this but I use Gemini because its pretty much free) - Upload to Rise as a project zip code block...
This sounds like a very simple process but there are several and often quite complex steps not described (Including the usual ADDIE stuff in addition to all of the CSS complexities that Rise iframes cause)...
DShaw thanks for the overview. If you decide to share the how-to video, I would be interested.
Wow, that is a great course! Nicely done. I would love to learn how you built it as well!
What a great way to wrap up the series! "AI drafts fast, confidently, and about half of it is wallpaper" might be the most accurate sentence I've read all week 😂
I love that you're teaching the editing skill directly instead of just warning people to "double check everything."
Naming six specific tells gives people something they can actually act on, and the bit about not swapping one kind of slop for another feels like the part most AI courses skip entirely.
The number checking piece is huge too. I've had an AI model hand me stats with total confidence that turned out to be completely invented, and if you're not already in the habit of verifying, it's an easy trap to fall into.
I already went through this course and it's great, congrats on wrapping up the series! 👏
