Respeecher Voice Marketplace
AI voice generation is an area where new tools keep being released. This is a voice cloning tool where you can copy an existing voice. This would be useful for making revisions if the original voice isn't available (or just to make changes quickly). You can also change the accent or pitch. Their stated use cases are around prototyping and revisions, not full narration for finished products.

Edit and combine images using AI. Rather than starting from scratch like other AI image tools, with this tool you start with one or more existing images and enhance them with AI. There's a free account with a large daily image limit, but it says the quality will be limited after the first 50 images. Still, that's enough to try how it works.

ChatGPT integration with Storyline for eLearning -Infinite Scenarios - YouTube
ChatGPT integration with Storyline for eLearning -Infinite Scenarios - YouTube
Garima Gupta shows an example of a scenario with an open-ended question rather than multiple choice. She uses Storyline for the front end and Javascript to call ChatGPT for the responses. This is more like an AI chatbot rather than a programmatic chatbot. This is done through a paid subscription service through her company, Artha Learning.

Twine project that reports to xAPI. This is way more technical than the projects I have done, but they definitely got Twine reporting to an LRS. The files are all available openly, and there's a wiki explaining the process. The scenario itself is about using ChatGPT for writing multiple choice assessments.

Recraft
Recraft
An AI image generating tool for vector art and illustrations. This looks like it would be useful for creating icon or illustration variations on a theme while keeping a consistent color scheme. I also wonder if you could use it to create variations on vector character images for scenarios.

I haven't taken time to play with this yet, but AI chatbots like this feel like a very promising avenue for personalized learning. Many of the simulated conversations that we currently build as branching scenarios could be practiced with chatbots like this. Language learning is another relevant area. This is currently in beta, but looks worth exploring.

Generate Quizzes In A Snap! - Quizbot
Generate multiple choice questions based on your text quickly. Enter text of at least 1000 words and get questions. I think the questions will probably need some editing and definitely need review, but I can see the value of this for a first draft quiz.

ChatGPT Prompts for Business Videos | ChatGPT Script Prompts
20 sample prompts for scripting animated videos. 5 of these are specifically in their L&D category; some of the HR and other prompts are also relevant to training. The most useful part of this article may be the Sample Script Makeover at the end though, showing the process of using ChatGPT for a first draft but also explaining how to revise and improve the script. That's how many of us will be using these tools: as a first draft that we need to revise.

ChatGPT for ID: Automate mini-scenario creation — Educraft
ChatGPT for ID: Automate mini-scenario creation — Educraft
This post has example prompts for creating mini-scenarios. This doesn't actually follow Cathy Moore's "Map It" approach, regardless of the claims in the article and the mention in the post. (The prompt creates dialogue for the scenario, so it ends up creating a conversation about what action to take rather than a decision to actually take an action. They also include instructional feedback rather than just intrinsic feedback, which isn't part of Cathy's typical approach.) But, even though it's not quite Cathy Moore's mini-scenario approach, it is a pretty good prompt for a scenario, and you could genuinely use this with some tweaking and verification.

Deskilling on the Job | danah boyd | apophenia
Reflection from danah boyd on how AI might affect work as it augments jobs. If AI is doing large parts of the easy work in jobs, how do new people in a field gain skills? How do we help people maintain skills they need during a crisis if AI is doing those tasks when they are routine? There are no clear answers here, but I appreciate the thoughtful questions.

StudioShot | Premium headshots from anywhere
StudioShot | Premium headshots from anywhere
Another tool for creating headshots from existing photos. The person who shared it said she got 80 images for $30...but only about 10 of them were usable. They aren't probably good enough for hero images on a website, but they might be good enough for social media.

This service turns other photos into more professional headshots. From discussion in a group where people have used these services, your quality of original images really matters. Some of the results end up with bad uncanny valley problems, weird jewelry and hair, etc.

AI help to speed up building WordPress websites. One of the features is to find a website you like and then copy it so you can use another site as a starting point. While I think that would make it way too easy to just copy without doing enough customization to make something your own, I can see the use of getting a quick starting point for a site.

AI Text to Speech: Human-level Voices | LOVO AI
This AI voiceover tool has options for adding emotions. While there are several AI text-to-speech tools that do reasonably well for a flat narration, most of the tools are weak if you want to add some emotion and dynamics. This one seems worth exploring for those additional features.

ID-Assist
ID-Assist
A Google Doc add-on for using AI and NLP to help with instructional design tasks. This is an interesting concept, and I can see the value for things like summaries or course descriptions based on content provided. However, even their provided example has significant problems (weak objectives, low-level multiple choice questions, a truly terrible scenario). It might be worth playing with it to see where it can be useful, like speeding up the process of first drafts or generating ideas.

This is another provider of AI voice over. The voices in the short samples sound very realistic; this could work for at least short narration. Currently, you can use the free plan for short samples as long as you provide attribution.

AI, Instructional Design, and OER – improving learning
I agree with the idea that AI and LLMs will make it much easier to create a first draft of content. I like the differentiation here between "informational resources" and "educational resources." Instructional designers will have easy access to basic informational resources through AI, so they can spend more time creating practice and feedback to create better learning experiences.

AI Voice Generator: Versatile Text to Speech Software | MURF
This is an AI voice service with monthly and annual plans. While I still think that real voices are going to be more effective for most of the scenario-based learning I create, I can see the value in using AI voices for straightforward narration. You can currently do either a free test of 10 minutes with no downloads or buy a single pack of 30 minutes with a reduced list of available voices for $9, plus larger plans for more time.
