Cyber Shield
I had so much fun with this week's challenge! I created "Cyber Shield" - a cybersecurity awareness course designed as a noir comic book. The concept is simple but impactful: 9 essential cyber safety habits, each told through a single comic panel with a short, punchy caption. Audio narration expands on each tip as the panels are revealed one by one. What I focused on: Dark noir comic book aesthetic with consistent visual style across all panels AI-generated images using ChatGPT for the comic panels Audio narration for each tip, keeping the on-screen text minimal (1-2 words per panel) while the voiceover carries the detail Tools used: Articulate Storyline 360 ChatGPT (image generation) ElevenLabs (voiceover) Pixabay (sound effects) View the demo here.

This is the beginning of a course on electrical safety for electricians (if I didn't have to comply with corporate branding requirements). 😭 Electrical Safety I used: Articulate AI art - backgrounds and character. Character - removed background in MS Designer. Sparks - made with Articulate AI art then removed background, added pulse-shrink-grow-pulse animations at different intervals. Giphy.com - used Matrix screen. Gemini AI helped me make the script more anime style and Articulate AI converted the script to audio. I tried making a gif with Snip & Sketch but it didn't want to cooperate 😑A Career in Learning Design
This project started with a simple idea — what if you could follow one person's entire learning design career, step by step? "The ID Path” is a character-based experience that follows the fictional career journey of Olivia Wilson, a learning designer whose path begins as a Junior ID Assistant and evolves into a leadership role as a Chief Learning Strategist. The goal is to highlight not just career progression, but also how responsibilities and skills evolve along the way. About the project Viewers can explore five key roles from Olivia’s career using a timeline of circular photo icons. Each click opens a Polaroid-style pop-out layer where Olivia’s portrait is paired with a brief story and three key skills that define that stage. The character pop-out effect is used within each profile layer. Implementation The character and portraits were created using ChatGPT and AI image tools, simulating a consistent persona as she grows across decades. Layout, voiceover, and accent colors were designed to keep the interaction simple, warm, and story-driven. Try the demo Follow Olivia’s journey and explore how her roles shaped who she became.

Hello, is there an AI tool within Storyline or Rise where you can insert an intuitive back-and-forth role-playing activity that provides real-time feedback to users depending on their responses to help enhance communication skills during customer service calls?Which type of certification adds more value: technical specialization or risk leadership?
Two new certifications were recently released: one focused on technical access management skills (PT-AM-CPE) and another centered on risk management leadership (ISO 31000 Lead Risk Manager). It made me think: Do technical, tool-focused certifications provide more immediate value than risk and governance credentials? At what point in a career does a risk-management certification start to make more sense? For preparation, I’ve seen some people mention practice-based platforms like CertBoosters. Have any of you here attempted something similar for these certifications, and what was your experience like? Please share your personal experienceTimed Gating to Support Compliance and Continuing Education Requirements
Is there a way to add a timer or delay in Rise before a Continue button or divider becomes active, so learners can’t just click straight through the content? We need this for compliance, particularly when we need to prove that learners spent a minimum amount of time in the training. I know I can use the Continue divider, but the learner can click through without reading and have the continue divider activate. I tried adding an audio file to each tab, for example, but it doesn't make them listen to an entire audio file within a tabs interaction before moving to the next tab or continuing the lesson.AvatarGrid (Unfolding UI) for Storyline
AI video is everywhere in learning design, but the experience hasn’t caught up. Too often, video is dropped onto a slide and left to do all the work. AvatarGrid challenges that approach. Built for Articulate Storyline, AvatarGrid is an unfolding UI system that uses purposeful motion and cinematic transitions to reveal content progressively. AI videos/images, created with Higgsfield AI, Nano Banana, and HeyGen AI, feel integrated, not pasted in, supported by layered vector UI. The result is an immersive, modern learning experience where motion has meaning. Every interaction supports the story. This is what video AI-first, motion-driven UXD looks like in practice.

Whether you joined the AI Assistant: Beyond the Basics webinar or are just starting to explore what the AI Assistant can do, this challenge is for you. In the session, we shared ways to go beyond quick drafts, using AI to help with the trickier parts of course creation, like writing questions, refining lessons, generating images, or even creating scenarios. Now it’s your turn to experiment and share what you’ve built. 💡 Show us your “AI Makeover” Post a quick before-and-after example of how you used AI Assistant to transform your content. You could share: A short “before” snippet — like SME notes, a few bullet points, a slide, or a paragraph of draft text The “after” — what AI helped you build from it (for example, an outline, lesson, quiz, or visual) A quick note about how you refined or customized what AI created ✨ Or just join the conversation: What parts of your workflow feel easiest to improve with AI right now? Where are you still experimenting or getting stuck? Have you discovered any prompt tricks or creative uses worth sharing? Let’s use this thread to keep building on what was learned in the session and learn from each other’s experiments along the way.
