Rise notes utility
I added a global utility bar to my Rise course to add a simple 'notes' piece, data is kept in the browser's local storage and it will not write to SCORM. Because of the global nature of this addon, it can be a handy way to make the functionality, and even some branding, always available to users across your entire course.
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. Live demo & tutorial here: https://insertknowledge.com/building-an-ai-powered-knowledge-check-in-storyline/ 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.
