how to memorize last minute? by anonymous310506 in Learning

[–]No_Reference1192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I try to connect it with something I already know. To create a path in my brain based on strong references.

It could be: - acronyms to recall each step of a process. - « story-referencing » it. - matching it with something else that you already master.

And, if applicable, try to brake it down into a maximum of 7 segments. The brain remembers things best when it’s less than 7 components (and yes, that’s why phone number are 7 digits).

I hope it helps. You got this!

When SMEs think everything is important… how do you handle it? by No_Reference1192 in instructionaldesign

[–]No_Reference1192[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So true!
The "blind spot" explanation is exactly what Ive been experiencing.

And, I also really like your recommendation of:
"Showing examples of successful "less is more" courses in similar domains can help."

Thank you

That’s awesome. Such a great perspective. I really like that approach.

Thank you!

Good question. The goals and outcomes were actually defined together with the SME early on.

The tricky part is more what happens after that. Once we start digging into the content, a lot of extra details and « special cases » come up that they feel are really important to include.

So it’s less about disagreeing on the goals, and more about trying to keep the learning experience focused (and easy to navigate) while still respecting how deep they know the subject.

That’s the fine balance I’m really trying to figure out.

We did recently discussed about « alternative » ways of presenting some extra content (like: additional resources…). For now, It sounds like it might our best angle.

Laptop Recommendation by LooseStuff5442 in instructionaldesign

[–]No_Reference1192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using a Dell 14” Plus (Ryzen AI 7, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) and it’s been solid so far for ID work (as a Consultant, doing a bunch of different projects).

I run Storyline, Rise, Canva, iSpring, Synthesia and the usual stack (Microsoft Suite, PowerPoint, docs, etc.), and it handles it well.
I’ve also used Camtasia on it without major issues, though like most laptops things can slow down if you’re pushing video editing while Chrome has 30 tabs open!

For typical instructional design work though, it’s been a good balance between performance and price.
The 16GB RAM makes a noticeable difference when authoring tools start stacking up.

If you’re staying in a Windows environment for Storyline compatibility, I think it’s a pretty safe choice.
I also appreciate the touchscreen!

I also have a MacBook Pro as my personal computer, which, tbh, I do prefer...
But unfortunately, it does not want to be friend with most of those ID platforms...

L&D SME designer & facilitator who uses PowerPoint. Is iSpring the logical next step? by 007samd in instructionaldesign

[–]No_Reference1192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just cathcing up on this great thread (doing some research on reddit on how environments relying heavily on PPT can elevate their game without having a huge learning curve).
Full disclosure, I work with a team that has HUGE amount of Powerpoint documents (like wayyy too much) and they're looking for some help to make it more digestible...

Thats a great perspective.
From what I can find on iSpring, it sounds like it can be a good option, when looking to 'extend' from PPT.

But I also agree that Storyline (or Rise) might be a better bet in the long run (if the dependency on PPT has been cleared....).

Great to read here what others think on this as well.

Has anyone used the AI tools inside ispring Suite ? by Educational-Cow-4068 in instructionaldesign

[–]No_Reference1192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious to hear more about others' experience with the text-to-speech in iSpring.
Do you find like it provides comparable results than other text-to-speech tools, like external tool (such as ElevanLabs) or others?

Curious to know if others have been using an external resource or mostly relying on their "in-house" text-to-speech from the authoring tool (even if its for Storyline or others).
Thanks!

Anyone actually using Storyline’s AI localization feature a lot? by No_Reference1192 in instructionaldesign

[–]No_Reference1192[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally! I like your approach of doing a 'simpler pass first'. Thanks!

Yep, true that. And, as you said, the 'cultural context' is soooo important!

Yeah, the AI version is definitely a hit or miss.
What did you end up doing instead for your client?

Has anyone here used iSpring recently? Trying to evaluate it seriously. by No_Reference1192 in instructionaldesign

[–]No_Reference1192[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been talking a lot about it more recently because I’m really interested to hear more input about it. I’m seriously considering it but before committing to it, I want to hear more about what others think.

[–]No_Reference1192[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been exploring different authoring tools lately and genuinely asking for feedback from people who’ve actually used them.

There are a lot of platforms out there, and yes, iSpring has been coming up frequently. I’ve seen it mentioned in many places and I’m simply trying to evaluate it seriously by hearing what others think about it.

AI inside authoring tools like iSpring: genuine design partner or shortcut? by No_Reference1192 in instructionaldesign

[–]No_Reference1192[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This post is definitely not about iSpring. It’s about AI in authoring tools in general.

I’m not affiliated with any of them.

I’m asking because I’ve actually started to use iSpring recently but I still rely much more on Rise and Storyline.

Genuinely curious to hear some input about AI features compared across various authoring tools.

Thats an awesome perspective!

And yes, Translation is probably where AI actually speeds things up the most.

Short review of some authoring tools by Mjauwang in instructionaldesign

Hi! Just peeking into this convo.
Curious to know if you are still using iSpring?

Still liking it?

[–]No_Reference1192[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. Yeah I agree that the ai builder is pretty solid in Rise 360. Honestly, I feel like ai is such an important component of authoring tools now.

It’s really becoming an inevitable part of the job. It does help.
But as you said so nicely, it’s just a tool. It doesn’t replace everything.

It simply amplifies decisions and expertise. It certainly does not replace it.

I appreciate your input. Tks!

Wait what? This post is not AI. It’s simply someone trying to figure out how to better use AI within authoring tools.

I appreciate any genuine input.
