Serve & Return Refresh
This activity is part of a course designed for family support specialists who provide health education, parenting support, developmental screening and connections to community resources for pregnant and newly parenting families with children up to age five. For my refresh, I used: The edit with AI functionality to remove the Intro/Summary slide in the process block so it would start with "Step 1". The key concept custom block to close the activity with a "Key Concept" reminder.AI in E-Learning: Opportunities and Innovation in Instructional Design

I took a dull and uninspiring cover slide and transformed it into an engaging, visually appealing introduction — all in under 2 minutes! Here’s what I did: Used the same background image, but with a fresh visual approach Added simple shapes to create depth and realism Applied a transparency effect on the character to blend it beautifully with the layout This small makeover made a big impact — and fulfilled the challenge requirements with style!

“The suspect knew too much about AI. Or maybe… she just knew how to answer the right questions.” Check out the recorded Pod Cast Here: Interrogating the future How It All Began It started as a simple reflection, ten questions about how AI is shaping my design work. But instead of writing a straight blog, I found myself drawn to something more atmospheric. Something that felt like the process itself, shadowy, uncertain, full of creative tension. So, I turned the reflection into a crime-show-style interrogation, complete with tape recorder hums, flickering lights, and a narrator whose voice demanded answers. The irony? Every part of the production was built with AI. The words, the sound, the visuals, even the interrogation room itself, were all digitally generated and then manually composed by me. Built by AI, Crafted by Hand I started by feeding the ten questions into ChatGPT, but instead of plain responses, I asked for a script. Together, we created a dialogue between a suspicious interrogator and me — a learning designer “accused” of collaborating with Artificial Intelligence. Then came the layers: Voice: generated using AI text-to-speech, giving each character a distinct tone and rhythm. Sound Effects: sourced and blended through AI-assisted sound libraries; tape clicks, fluorescent hums. Images: created with AI image generation and enhanced in Photoshop’s Generative Expand to build the noir interrogation room. Editing: every frame and cue assembled manually — timed to each pause, each flicker, each breath. It wasn’t just automation, it was orchestration. Why Noir? Noir has always been about truth hiding in plain sight. It’s smoky, suspicious, human. And that’s exactly how AI feels right now, part mystery, part revelation. The interrogation format gave me a way to ask the big questions: Is AI saving us time or stealing our craft? Can it really understand empathy, context, and culture? Or is it just pretending well enough to fool us — and our learners? The Real Interrogation Behind the theatrics, the project became a metaphor for the design process itself. Every day, learning designers interrogate ideas: “What’s the story here?” “What does the learner need?” “Is this real, or just noise?” AI doesn’t replace that questioning, it amplifies it. It’s like having an endless brainstorm partner who never sleeps, never stops suggesting, and occasionally hands you brilliance on a platter. The Craft of Collaboration What fascinated me most was the balance. AI built the assets — but I gave them shape. It’s a partnership that works best when humans stay in control of tone, meaning, and emotional truth. “AI gave me the pieces. But I had to make them make sense.” That’s the new creative muscle, knowing when to hand over, when to edit, and when to override. Lessons from the Interrogation Room By the end, I realised the project wasn’t about AI at all, it was about agency. The ability to stay curious, playful, and skeptical, even when technology feels all-knowing. If AI has a role in the future of learning design, it’s not to automate creativity, it’s to augment it. To make space for designers to ask better questions, faster. To amplify storytelling, not silence it. Final Word So yes, I built my own interrogation. I wrote the script with AI. I voiced it with AI. I scored, illustrated, and expanded it with AI. And then I did what no algorithm could: I stitched it all together with intuition, timing, and story sense. Because creativity isn’t about the tools you use. It’s about what you do with them.Why I Am [Not] Afraid of AI
Hello! It's that time of year again, folks! You get to hear my dulcet tones for the annual "Podcast" Challenge... As I'm off to World of Learning this week, I don't have time to record responses to all ten of DavidAnderson's questions on the impact of AI on learning design. So I've focused on three areas where I think we need to challenge the slight 'bunker mentality' that has built up around AI. Although this isn't a standard 'media player', I thought it was still best to add a bespoke 'progress' bar, so you can see how long each track lasts, and include a 'skip' button. Pop by for a chat. I won't invite you in, if that's all the same. WHY I AM [NOT] AFRAID OF AI | EngageBrainTrain.com

Pick the Chicken Eggs - ELC#505 Hi All, Here's a simple but a tricky one to build Button Set interaction. https://360.articulate.com/review/content/89a3c315-5e74-453a-9f1f-4e49f6251fd1/review I've used a Convert to Freeform Slide to enable multiple selections and then use Button Set on these grouped selections. I got this idea from David's video showcasing the same, to have multiple selects on a quiz slide. I tried to add my own small twist to it. LOL. It's nothing fancy as I was trying to get the logic right and the interaction to work. I did struggle with the default 'submit' button becoming disabled even after I've set the attempts to 'unlimited'. Does anyone know how to keep the default submit button active till the learner gets it right? (I used a trigger to set its state to normal whenever a user clicks it :D)Welcome to the Respectful Workplace Behaviour Gamified Training!
