An AI-Powered Knowledge Check in Storyline
I've been wrestling with this challenge for a while: How do we get learners to reflect without relying on quiz after quiz? How can we use open-ended questions to encourage deeper thought?
I've long considered AI for this, but there were hurdles... How do you integrate it into an Articulate Storyline course without paying for tokens or setting up contracts? And how do you do it without leaking credentials in the course itself? Can it be done without having to modify code after exporting the course?
I learned recently that Hugging Face Transformers provide a solution. You can now download an AI model to the learner's machine and run it locally in their browser. I've managed to get this running reliably in Storyline, and you don't have to modify the code after export!
In the final slide of the demo, your goal is to recall as much as possible from the podcast/summary. The AI will then check your response and give you a percentage score based on what you remembered.

If you want to learn how I recommend starting with the sentiment analysis because it's easier to get started. I've also provided a file to download in that tutorial if you want to reverse engineer it.

This is so cool!
I thought this was an interesting idea! Using AI for response evaluation is something I haven't seen before in an elearning module. The potential seems enormous.
A couple of notes... I tried answering three or four different way with different amounts of information, but always got a similar score between 57-61. I think having feedback from the evaluator would be really helpful so I could understand how to improve my answer.
Thanks for sharing this!Thanks for putting it through its paces! 57-61% is an epic score. I found most people hovered around 50%. I think this demo is particularly hard actually and you've prompted me to update the article with some ideas on how it could be improved. Including additional, specific feedback from the evaluator which is a fantastic idea.
