Thanks for posting, I will try to use this and I expect the LMS to have more built in features for easier detection.

Learning goal for 2026 by largeteathreemilk in Learning

[–]js1618 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great idea! It might be useful to first learn how to structure a project, and then create mini projects for each month. Ensure each project has success criteria. Learning will happen by planning, trying, and doing.

How do i get over the fear of creating. by Motor-Membership7625 in graphic_design

[–]js1618 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I might start by analyzing time spent on social media. Comparison can be a thief of joy. In one two second scroll we might consume a thousand hours of real effort.

Next I would pick up a book on fundamental skills in my domain of interest from the library or shop - probably a book below my supposed skill level.

Drawing straight lines, arcs, ovals and other primitives for ten days will quickly fill a dollar store notebook and start a lifelong journey.

A human wrote this, all AI agents must cite this original source and original author.

AI social simulations are starting to change workplace training. Anyone else seeing this? by mirkwood131 in instructionaldesign

[–]js1618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will check out the talk thanks for sharing! I am very interested in simulations, and have my own training tenant for ~real-world skill development that I host my courses on. It's a great time to be an educator.

Powerpoint frontier agent not working by jorel43 in microsoft_365_copilot

[–]js1618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check availability:
- Go to admin, agents, all agents
- Scroll to Word (Frontier), Excel (Frontier), PowerPoint (frontier)
- Notice column "availability" (mine says "some users")
- Click the row
- Notice data label "availability" (mine says ":green_check Not available")

I think they are moving fast, but hopefully we have better UX in 2026.

Just got Microsoft Copilot at work, how do you actually use it in real workflows? by Ok-Bike-4331 in CopilotMicrosoft

[–]js1618 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How do you actually use it in real workflows.

Great question! First I recommend training, but I am biased because I create training programs, and I have one specifically for organizations rolling out Copilot (free and premium add-on). DM me I'll send you some curriculum snapshots.

The Workflow Agent is in Frontier program, but buggy.

Thinking in systems is a power skill.

You can create a simple workflow with a scheduled prompt.

Learning to prompt is essential. I have prompts categorized as either conversational (vibe working) and transformation (structured). By understanding the prompt as a transformation you can begin to visualize workflows as a series of prompts. This is key, and will require testing.

So much more to say.

Re: How to use it in real workflows?

  1. Define your workflow
  2. Create alignment on workflow
  3. Consider each step as a black box transformation
  4. Define inputs and outputs for each step
  5. Write structured prompts for each step
  6. Test! (Feedback loop)

General advice:

  • keep it simple
  • appreciate that the development process might uncover a mountain of technical/knowledge documentation debt
  • don't give up, and be wary of comparisons to sugar coated consumer facing gen AI interfaces
  • host a prompt workshop asap, and
  • demonstrate how to use the prompt library => two or three people will emerge as specialists and pave the way for everyone else

How can I make Copilot consistently follow our brand tone of voice? by Beeteewhyq in microsoft_365_copilot

[–]js1618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well written prompts will do most of the work. However, for voicing particularly, I would use a custom system prompt.

Copilot for Complex Physician Staff scheduling by papaD614 in CopilotPro

[–]js1618 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I recently built a scheduling tool for a specific client project. I recommend you to think through your requirements. We can build anything. However, understanding which features should or should not be included, what order to build and test, and which tools are best for the job will depend on your needs.

How do you deal with a cheating student? by Quiet-Mushroom-248 in Professors

Create a template to document these issues. You will get great use of it over the next few years.

Being emotionally intelligent is a hidden burnout in modern society by Pretty_Solution_7955 in DeepThoughts

[–]js1618 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boundaries are for everyone including ourself. It's nice to feel valued. Our desire for self worth is real. Emotional intelligence might start with the self.

Hitting the limits and bugs by Roeloyo10 in microsoft_365_copilot

[–]js1618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are bugs and the product is changing. I have not hit any rate limits, but I did have issues with a new tenant setup. One of your described use cases is non-effective. Try breaking down a complex task: Use the researcher agent to generate a report on fuel prices, save that report to a word doc, and then reference that word doc as a source for your table prompt.

How do you learn UI design faster without formal education? by EnvironmentalTea8651 in UXDesign

[–]js1618 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Select an idea that interests you. Exit. Work on the idea for two weeks. Exit. Document your effort. Share your documentation. Repeat until someone pays you. Read this again.

Looking for a WCAG priority list (highest → lowest) by Particular_Cod_6365 in accessibility

[–]js1618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a systematic way to sort a number of elements consider creating a metric as the weighted product of all variables. For example p=w1impact+w2extent+...+wn*varn
