AI 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. 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. Please note that Fill in the Blank and Matching question types are currently not supported. 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. The underlying AI model can have difficulty fulfilling requests for a specific number of questions, but 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. 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. Note that 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. 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. Pro tip: 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. AI Assistant will generate a full draft, which you can modify with prompts. Prompt AI Assistant to make the changes you want, such as changing the learning objective, difficulty level, or question type—from multiple choice to multiple response, or vice versa. You also have the option to choose prebuilt prompts, like changing the focus or answer choices. 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. Video Tutorials Want to learn more before getting started?

AI Assistant: Creating, Refining, and Converting Blocks
Blank page problem? Not when you have AI Assistant! You don’t need to start from scratch because you can now easily generate, edit, and convert blocks in seconds. Our human-centered AI block generation process works with you to draft your content, ensuring that you stay in control every step of the way. Available only in Rise 360, AI Assistant’s block generation, block editing, and quick block conversion features can be accessed in multiple ways. Find them in the AI Assistant menu in the upper right, the block formatting menu on the left when you hover over a block, the shortcuts bar at the bottom, and within the block library. Are you ready to get started? Here are some tips for using these block generation features to enhance your course creation process. Create New Blocks from Scratch Refine Existing Blocks Convert Existing Blocks to Another Type Create New Blocks from Scratch Spend less time putting your thoughts into words—just pick a block to generate. Enter a topic, select reference materials, and let AI Assistant draft the content. Use custom prompts to guide AI Assistant in revising and polishing your draft. When you’re happy with the final copy, click Insert block and see your new block appear. It couldn't be easier! Use Source Content and Specify a Topic You can upload source documents in AI settings or when creating a new block and select them as a reference. AI Assistant uses the content in those documents whenever you generate new content. If you don’t have full files to upload, you can copy and paste content from external sources. The topic you specify guides AI Assistant in narrowing down the content from your source documents. This is especially useful when you have multiple source documents. If you specify a topic that isn't in your selected reference material—existing lessons or source documents—AI Assistant can also generate content using general knowledge. For best results when specifying a topic, try asking AI Assistant to: Focus on a particular subject within the source material. For example, you could say, “Focus on strawberries” when working with a source document about fruit. Focus on a specific section. For instance, “Focus on chapter two” ” when working with a source document with multiple chapters. Write in a particular order using specific source documents. For example, “Write an overview of all my source docs, write an introduction about fruit, write a conclusion about fruit.” AI Assistant also generates relevant topic suggestions when you select source documents. These are displayed above the prompt input box as quick-action buttons. Outline Your Content When creating a list or interactive block, AI Assistant generates an outline before drafting the content. For a sorting activity block, AI Assistant brainstorms the categories after you choose the topic and select the block type. You can then click one from the list or enter one of your own. This particular step gives you a bird’s-eye view of the main topics covered in your block, letting you arrange the main content and structure of your block. Focus on big-picture items like what topics to cover, what order the content will appear in, and how content will be separated into different sections of the block. Polish Your Draft In the final step of the block generation process, AI Assistant shares a full block draft. Now you get to collaborate with AI Assistant to finalize the copy for your block. You can task AI Assistant with doing just about anything here—changing the tone, target audience, format, or topics. Or, get creative! Try asking AI Assistant to: Add scenarios or examples Add pros and cons Add key takeaways Simplify or paraphrase Add more or less text Bold key terms Add emojis Add bulleted lists Note that AI Assistant doesn't support generating media such as images, audio, and video within generated blocks. While AI Assistant is designed to adhere to your topic and source materials, always check for accuracy. AI can't read your mind! It follows instructions but can struggle with context or knowledge gaps and may generate incorrect information. Before clicking Insert block, double-check the output. And if you’ve already inserted the block but want to make changes, use the write and edit inline or block editing features. Refine Existing Blocks In addition to generating new content, AI Assistant makes editing existing content easier than ever with its block editing feature. Use custom prompts to set the tone as more casual or professional, or target a specific audience by simplifying the language or adding technical terms. You can also shorten or lengthen content, or even completely change the topic. Since editing a block allows you to interact with AI Assistant using custom prompts, experiment and have fun! Remember, though, that AI Assistant rejects malicious requests and automatically blocks offensive content. After refining your content, choose to replace the original or insert the modified block below it to compare changes. Convert Existing Blocks to Another Type Want to see how your content would look in a different block? That used to mean tedious copy-pasting from one block into another. But with AI Assistant’s quick block conversion feature, you can convert an existing block into a different type in a flash. Turn a static list block into an interactive flashcard in just two clicks, or condense interactive blocks into a statement or a paragraph block. When converting blocks, AI Assistant retains as much of the original content as possible. AI Assistant maps the content between the two block types to retain content and generates new content only when necessary. In the case of blocks with a different structure, such as a paragraph block and a process block, AI Assistant treats the original block as the source to generate content for the new block. Note that AI Assistant can only generate, edit, and convert content for the following block types: Accordion Flashcard List Text Process Sorting Statement Tabs Video Tutorials Want to learn more before getting started?

AI Assistant: Producing Highly Realistic Audio
As a course author, you want to do more than just present information—you want to create multi-sensory e-learning experiences that resonate with learners. Using sound creatively can help you get there. AI Assistant’s text-to-speech and sound effects features let you create highly realistic AI-generated voices and sound effects for more immersive and accessible content. Available only in Storyline 360, these features can be accessed from the Insert Audio dropdown in the AI Assistant menu within the ribbon. Find them under the Home or Insert tab when you’re in slide view or from the AI Assistant side panel as quick action buttons for added convenience. Bring Narration to Life with AI-generated Voices If you’ve ever used classic text-to-speech, you probably wished the voices sounded less, well, robotic. AI Assistant’s text-to-speech brings narration to life with contextually aware AI-generated voices that sound more natural—and human! Check out the difference in quality between a standard voice, neural voice, and AI-generated voice by playing the text-to-speech examples below. Standard Voice Your browser does not support the audio element. Neural Voice Your browser does not support the audio element. AI-generated Voice Your browser does not support the audio element. To get started, click the Insert Audio icon in the AI Assistant menu to open the Generate AI Audio dialog box. A library of AI-generated voices—which you can filter by Gender, Age, and Accent—displays under the Voices tab. The voices also have descriptions like “deep,” “confident,” “crisp,” “intense,” and “soothing” and categories that can help you determine their ideal use cases, from news broadcasts to meditation, or even ASMR. Find these qualities under the voice’s name, and use the play button to preview the voice. Currently, there are 52 pre-made voices to choose from, and you can mark your favorites by clicking the heart icon. This way, you can easily access your preferred voices without having to scroll through the list. Toggle the View option to Favorites to find all your favorite voices, or In project to see voices used in the current project. Once you’ve decided on a voice, click the button labeled Use to switch to the Text-to-Speech tab. Your chosen voice is already pre-selected. Next, enter your script in the text box provided or click the add from slide notes link to copy notes from your slide. The script can be a maximum of 5,000 characters. For accessibility, select Generate closed captions—AI Assistant will generate closed captions automatically. Adjust the Voice Settings Unlike classic text-to-speech, the AI-generated voices in AI Assistant’s text-to-speech can be customized for a tailored voice performance. The Model setting lets you choose between the Multilingual v2 model—highly stable, exceptionally accurate, lifelike speech with support for 29 languages—and Turbo v2.5 model—slightly less stable but 300% faster with support for 32 languages. Play the following samples to listen and compare the voices generated by each model. Multilingual v2 Your browser does not support the audio element. Turbo v2.5 Your browser does not support the audio element. The setting forStability controls the balance between the voice’s steadiness and randomness. The Similarity setting determines how closely the AI should adhere to the original voice when attempting to replicate it. The defaults are set to 0.50 for the stability slider and 0.75 for the similarity slider, but you can play around with these settings to find the right balance for your content. Additional settings include Style exaggeration, which amplifies the style of the original voice, and Speaker boost, which enhances the similarity between synthesized speech and the voice. Note that if either of those settings is adjusted, generating your speech will take longer. Do I Need to Use SSML? AI Assistant has limited support for speech synthesis markup language (SSML) because AI-generated voices are designed to understand the relationship between words and adjust delivery accordingly. If you need to manually control pacing, you can add a pause. The most consistent way to do that is by inserting the syntax <break time="1.5s" /> into your script. This creates an exact and natural pause in the speech. For example: With their keen senses <break time="1.5s" /> cats are skilled hunters. Use seconds to describe a break of up to three seconds in length. You can try a simple dash - or em-dash — to insert a brief pause or multiple dashes for a longer pause. Ellipsis ... will also sometimes work to add a pause between words. However, these options may not work consistently, so we recommend using the syntax above for consistency. Just keep in mind that an excessive number of break tags can potentially cause instability. Multilingual Voices Expand Your Reach Another compelling benefit of AI-generated text-to-speech is the ability to bridge language gaps, allowing you to connect with international audiences. With support for up to 32 languages depending on the model—including some with multiple accents and dialects—AI Assistant’s text-to-speech helps your content resonate with a global audience. All you have to do is type or paste your script in the supported language you want AI Assistant to use. (Even though the voice description notes a specific accent or language, AI Assistant will generate the narration in the language used in your script.) Note that some voices tend to work best with certain accents or languages, so feel free to experiment with different voices to find the best fit for your needs. The table below provides a quick rundown of supported languages. Available in Multilingual v2 and Turbo v2.5: English (USA) English (UK) English (Australia) English (Canada) Japanese Chinese German Hindi French (France) French (Canada) Korean Portuguese (Brazil) Portuguese (Portugal) Italian Spanish (Spain) Spanish (Mexico) Indonesian Dutch Turkish Filipino Polish Swedish Bulgarian Romanian Arabic (Saudi Arabia) Arabic (UAE) Czech Greek Finnish Croatian Malay Slovak Danish Tamil Ukrainian Russian Available only in Turbo v2.5: Hungarian Norwegian Vietnamese Create Sound Effects Using Prompts Sound effects that align with your theme and content can highlight important actions or feedback, like clicking a button or choosing a correct answer, offering a more engaging and effective e-learning experience. With AI Assistant’s sound effects, you can now use prompts to easily create nearly any sound imaginable. No more wasting time scouring the web for pre-made sounds that may cost extra! Start creating high-quality sound effects by going to the AI Assistant menu in the ribbon under the Home or Insert tab. Then, click the lower half of the Insert Audio icon, and choose Sound Effects. (You can also access it from the Audio dropdown within the Insert tab. Simply select Sound Effects under the AI Audio option.) In the text box, describe the sound effect you want and choose a duration. You can adjust the Prompt influence slider to give AI Assistant more or less creative license in generating the sound. Since AI Assistant understands natural language, sound effects can be created using anything from a simple prompt like “a single mouse click” to a very complex one that describes multiple sounds or a sequence of sounds in a specific order. Just note you have a maximum of 450 characters to describe the sound you want to generate. Play the following audio samples to listen to sound effects created using a simple prompt and a complex one. Your browser does not support the audio element. Prompt: A single mouse click Your browser does not support the audio element. Prompt: Dogs barking, then lightning strikes You can also adjust the Duration—how long the sound effect plays—up to a maximum of 22 seconds. For example, if your prompt is “barking dog” and you set the duration to 10 seconds, you’ll get continuous barking, but a duration of two seconds is one quick bark. Adjusting the Prompt Influence slider to the right makes AI Assistant strictly adhere to your prompt, while sliding it to the left allows more free interpretation. Some Pro Terms to Know Using audio terminology—specialized vocabulary that audio experts use in their work—can help improve your prompts and produce even more dynamic sound effects. Here are a few examples: Braam: A deep, resonant, and often distorted bass sound used in media, particularly in trailers, to create a sense of tension, power, or impending doom. Whoosh: A quick, swooshing sound often used to emphasize fast motion, transitions, or dramatic moments. Impact: A sharp, striking noise used to signify a collision, hit, or sudden forceful contact, often to highlight a moment of action or emphasis. Glitch: A short, jarring, and usually digital noise that mimics a malfunction or distortion, commonly used to convey errors. Foley: The process of recreating and recording everyday sound effects like movements and object sounds in sync with the visuals of a film, videos, or other media. Here’s something fun to try! Generate a 3-second sound effect using the prompt “studio quality, sound designed whoosh and braam impact.” Increasing the duration may produce better sound effects but will also create more dead air towards the end. Pro tip: Onomatopoeias—words like “buzz,” “boom,” “click,” and “pop” that imitate natural sounds—are also important sound effects terms. Use them in your prompts to create more realistic sound effects. Video Tutorials Want to learn more before getting started?
