AI for Presentation Skills
A Use Case Study
The Analysis
Several stakeholders (from different departments) were interested in adding an AI audience tool to their programs for skill improvement, especially via "real world" practice opportunities. There was one tool in particular which my team was asked to prepare use cases for towards potential user testing.
The Process
Our design team consisted of a learning science expert, myself as an instructional designer, a learning engineer (to build any content into the LMS or AI audience tool), and a representative from academic resources (for assistance with issues such as existing technologies and/or program overlaps). Over the course of a dedicated week, we reviewed several courses that required presentation skills and narrowed down a specific course within which to create our use cases.
We ultimately developed four potential use cases. I wrote the content for each use case which were then built in the LMS and/or the AI audience tool itself as required by each use case. I then prepared a presentation similar to the one included here to share with a small group of stakeholders regarding our findings.
Results and Takeaways
The rapid iteration process for studying, designing, and implementing our use cases went very well. The only issue that could be streamlined in the future would be having a specific course to work from earlier on.
Currently, the investigated tool did not meet all of the needs of our stakeholders. It also had some functionality issues. Another team is investigating how our use cases could be tested using an existing tool. I hope that eventually we may also have the opportunity to try the use cases with other external tools that were discovered during our prototyping process.
Note: The presentation was created in PowerPoint and uploaded to Google Slides for ease of access. If you want the full interactivity of the presentation it is recommended that you either download it and present it on your desktop or open it in Google Slides and use the Slideshow feature.
