What Happens Next?
This is awesome SMcNicol! We’ll be featuring this in an upcoming ELH Weekly newsletter. If you want it delivered to your inbox, be sure you’re subscribed. 🎉
And if you’re up for it, adding a few more details about how you made this or the prompts you used would be super helpful for people checking out your project.
Thank you so much! I’m incredibly honored to be featured in the ELH Weekly—I’ll definitely make sure I’m subscribed to catch it!
Since I didn't see a way to edit my original post, I wanted to share a bit more about the 'why' and 'how' behind this project for anyone interested.
My main goal was to create a scenario-first replacement for traditional learning objectives. I wanted to set the context, stakes, and relevance immediately—which is usually much more effective for new hires or call-center roles.
The Prompt & Strategy: To build the interaction, I used a prompt designed to turn static information into a high-stakes, interactive chat. I asked the AI to:
- Set a specific time and mood (3:47 PM on a Friday).
- Present a complex problem (non-formulary medication for a child).
- Define clear 'expectations' for the learner, such as explaining pharmacy jargon in plain language and weighing next-step options in real time.
The Core Challenge: The learner steps into the role of a Member Service Rep. Instead of just reading a list of what they will learn, they are immediately asked: 'So... what do I do now?'
I found that by focusing on the impact of the choice rather than just the 'correct' answer, the engagement level really shifted.
Thanks again for the support, and I’m happy to dive deeper into the mechanics if anyone has questions!"
this is so inspiring ! thanks!
Do you mind sharing a bit more of how to prompt?
We are goíng to try something similar for sales conversation training. like how to have a difficult conversation with X type of customer on Y topic.
Katie-Jordan looks like many of us could benefit from some "work out loud" vibe coding sessions to get a sense of what we can do. Any chance Articulate could offer some, maybe leverage community members who are willing?
I hear you! Especially timely with so many interesting submissions from the Code Block Build-a-thon, too. (If anyone hasn't checked those out, I encourage you to spend some time exploring there)
Maybe some of those people are willing to share more about their work. Thanks for the feedback, CydWalker_mwh
I'll check it out! I was hoping to participate then ran into project deadline. I'm guilty of not trying vibe coding out as much as I could. Will look to get inspired! Since I'm working in the medical arena, this What Happens Next one was very inspiring.
