2 TopicsA Knight’s Peril at the Gatekeepers’ Stronghold – WIP Adventure in Storyline 360 (WC #531)
Hear ye, noble creators! I bring forth tidings of a quest most curious, still wrought upon the anvil of design. My latest endeavor: a mini-game wherein Sir Cedric, a gallant knight clad in steel, must brave the arcane trials of modern airport security! From glowing departure boards to the stern Gatekeepers (TSA agents in full medieval regalia), this interactive tale blends humor with historical lore. Players shall guide our knight through strange rituals: removing sabatons, revealing potions, and learning the sacred laws of liquids. The work is yet unfinished—many scrolls remain to be inked, and the dragons of logic yet to be tamed—but the vision stands clear: a whimsical union of chivalry and contemporary travel. Join me in this merriment! Share thy counsel, and let us forge a game worthy of both the Round Table and the boarding gate. The Codex of Safe PassageAI Assistant: Building Effective Quizzes and Knowledge Checks
Developing a good quiz or knowledge check is essential for assessing and reinforcing learning. But, as every course author knows, it’s also time-consuming. Designing questions that are clear, relevant, and aligned with your learning objectives isn't easy. Effortless Quizzes Available in Rise 360 and Storyline 360, AI Assistant’s quiz generation feature allows you to create a full quiz based on existing lessons in just a few clicks. Quick Tip: When details are missing, AI Assistant may rely on general knowledge compiled from its training to fill in gaps. For best results, provide as much context and source materials as possible. More information helps AI Assistant tailor content to your needs, and using custom prompts can further guide it to stay focused on your course content instead of drawing from general knowledge. Rise 360 In Rise 360, select Quiz generation from the AI Assistant dropdown menu within the course overview page. Customize your questions via prompt—set a focus topic, learning objective, and level of difficulty—or skip directly to quiz generation. Once the quiz is generated, you can open it to see more options, such as adding or editing questions. Editing your quiz allows you to use AI Assistant to fine-tune the questions, answer choices, and feedback. For example, you can prompt AI Assistant to turn a multiple choice question into a multiple response and add more answer choices. You can also change the learning objective or increase the difficulty level. If you want to edit the question feedback, you can do so with the write and edit inline feature. Simply select the feedback text you want to modify and click the sparkle icon in the floating toolbar to start editing with AI Assistant. You have the option to generate new questions from here as well. AI Assistant in Rise 360 supports the following question types: Multiple choice Multiple response Fill-in-the-blank Matching Storyline 360 In Storyline 360, select the Quiz icon in the AI Assistant menu from the ribbon or click the Generate quiz button from the AI Assistant tab in the side panel. Select all or just specific scenes and slides as a reference, and then enter a prompt to customize the questions. You can also skip customization to generate the questions in a new slide or a question bank. When you choose the latter, AI Assistant will create a new question bank and insert a new slide draw from it. For best results, specify your learning objectives or ask AI Assistant to focus on a topic or difficulty level. Once the quiz has been generated, you can continue to refine it by adding, deleting, or editing questions. AI Assistant will also generate a link that you can easily click to jump to the newly created questions. When you replace a question after editing, the original question slide will be deleted and a new slide added with the new question. Any other objects or custom triggers on the original question slide will be lost. To prevent that loss, choose the Insert below option and then copy and paste objects into the new slide before deleting the original question slide. AI Assistant in Storyline 360 supports the following question types: Multiple choice Multiple response How many questions are generated? The underlying AI model can have difficulty fulfilling requests for a specific number of questions. In Rise 360, AI Assistant generates questions that cover the key points across your entire course, up to a maximum of 25 questions. In practice, it tends to generate one to two questions per lesson. In Storyline 360, you can use the word count of your text content to determine how many questions are generated. Initially, AI Assistant splits text content into segments of 1,000 words each, with a maximum of seven segments. If your text content exceeds 7,000 words, AI Assistant splits them evenly over seven segments to stay within the limit. Each segment returns two questions, so you’ll always get at least two questions, up to a maximum of 14, depending on the total word count. Single Question Generation To insert a single question as a knowledge check, select the Question icon from the ribbon or click the Generate question button in the side panel. Select all or just specific slides as a reference, and then enter a topic. AI Assistant generates a full question draft that you can modify using custom prompts. Get creative in providing additional directions for AI Assistant to follow, or try some of the following prompts: Adjust the difficulty level Change the Bloom’s Taxonomy level Change the tone and target audience Change the question type from multiple choice to multiple response, or vice versa You also have the option to choose one of the prebuilt prompts—either Change focus or Add an answer. Once you’re satisfied with the draft, click Insert to generate the question. Tips: AI Assistant uses the Question layout for question or quiz slides. Customize this layout if you want to apply your personal or company brand style to question or quiz slides generated by AI Assistant. To add interactivity, try a freeform question. Just copy the question draft and cancel the quiz generation process. Paste the content into a new slide, make adjustments, and then convert the slide into a freeform question. Quick Knowledge Checks Available only in Rise 360, a knowledge check block can be generated based on the current lesson. Go to the AI Assistant menu in the upper right and then choose Generate knowledge check when you’re inside a lesson. You can also find this option in the block library under the Knowledge Check menu. Enter a topic, select the question type—choose from multiple choice, multiple response, fill-in-the-blank, or matching—and AI Assistant will generate a full draft. Prompt AI Assistant to make the changes you want, such as changing the learning objective, difficulty level, or question type. You also have the option to choose prebuilt prompts, like changing the focus, answer choices, or the feedback type. Once you’ve finalized the question, click the Insert block button below the draft. Your knowledge check is inserted at the bottom of the page. Anytime you need to modify the block, simply hover over it and click AI Block Tools (the sparkle icon) on the left. You can select Edit with AI to edit the knowledge check using AI Assistant’s block editing feature. Pro tip: Instantly convert blocks into interactive, AI-generated knowledge checks that boost learner retention by hovering over a supported block and clicking AI Block Tools from the content menu on the left. Choose Instant convert from the dropdown, then select Knowledge Check. The new knowledge check will be inserted right below the original block.
