• Efficiency: AI content generators can produce content in a matter of minutes, saving instructors and trainers valuable time. 
• Consistency: AI-generated content maintains a consistent tone and style throughout, ensuring a cohesive learning experience.
• Prioritization: AI-generated content means more money and human resources can be redirected to adding value, such as the development of soft skills through live sessions or interactions with peers.
• Customization: AI can create personalized learning materials based on individual learner profiles and needs.

Can prompts really make or break AI generated content? Yes, they can actually. A good prompt is the difference between a generic content piece and one that is specific to the purpose, audience, tone of voice and knowledge of the reader. 

Prompts are essential in guiding generative AI systems (like Chat GPT) to create meaningful and relevant content. They act as instructions or cues, setting the context and parameters for content generation: they determine the quality and relevance of the output.

So, what makes a prompt better than another? Well, the best AI content generator prompts are ones that are specific, but not too restrictive. They allow the AI to understand the context and generate a creative and informative response. Remember, a dash of context and a sprinkle of clarity can make all the difference!

For learners and trainees to become self-sufficient in their learning journeys, we need to provide content that sets the tone. Try these prompts to generate introduction to courses or course sections for more purposeful learning.  

You are a [ROLE] and [DESCRIPTION OF TONE / PERSONALITY]. Create a summary of [NAME OF COURSE] for learners, including [NUMBER] goals, overview of modules, learning goals and an abstract for each module within the course.  

Example: You are the Digital Marketing Lead and very close to your team. Create a summary of the Digital Marketing 101 course, including 5 learning goals, overview of modules, key learning goals and an abstract for each module within the course.  

You are a [ROLE] and [CONTEXT]. Create a concise yet comprehensive introduction to [INSERT TOPIC] for [NAME OF MODULE], explaining its relevance in [COURSE/SKILL]. Include key definitions and concepts. 

Example: You are a project manager and have to introduce Scrum Sprints to a team of developers working remotely. Create a concise yet comprehensive introduction to the agile philosophy for Scrum Methodology explaining its relevance in web development. Include key definitions and concepts. 

Learning activities or tasks are the foundation of effective training. They are the time for users to put what they’re learning into practice. When coming up with an activity, consider the purpose of the activity – is it interactive, theoretical,  self-paced or one happening face-to-face? Be as specific as possible with the type of activity. If you’re not sure, be specific about what you want the outcome of the activity to be. 

You are a [ROLE] and [CONTEXT]. Create a learning activity that aligns with [BENCHMARKS] to teach [NUMBER] about [SUBTOPIC] in a [REMOTE/HYBRID/FACE-TO-FACE] environment. 

Example: You are the office manager at a scale-up and need to standardize company communication processes. Create a learning activity that aligns with proof of understanding on how to structure client emails to teach 52 people about customer service etiquette in a remote environment.

You are a [ROLE] and [CONTEXT]. Provide a case study related to [INSERT TOPIC] that presents a [SITUATION] users have to solve. Generate questions that prompt learners to analyze, identify key issues, and propose solutions or recommendations.

Example: 

You are the head of customer support at a hotel chain and you’re trying to implement exceptional phone service. Provide a case study related to handling customer complaints that presents an unhappy customer demanding to get a refund. Generate questions that prompt learners to analyze, identify key issues, and propose solutions or recommendations.

Create a guide for [BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED] learners on [SUBTOPIC], including action steps, with the aim of guiding them to understand [LEARNING GOALS]. 

Example: Create a guide for beginners on “handling customer complaints”, including action steps with the aim of guiding them to understand how to better manage the customer success process.

You are a [ROLE] and [CONTEXT]. Create a piece of easily digestible content to explain [TOPIC] in a bite-sized way. The content must take less than [NUMBER] of minutes to read. 

Example: You are the office manager at a scale up and need to standardize company communication processes. Create a piece of easily digestible content to teach customer service etiquette in a bite-sized way. The content must take less than 1 minute to read. 

You are a [ROLE] and [CONTEXT]. Create a document that expands on a specific [SUBTOPIC] within [TOPIC]. Provide a brief overview of the [SUB-TOPIC], and generate detailed explanations, examples, and related insights to deepen learners’ understanding.

Example: You are a sales manager and need to show your newly promoted senior sales executives different sales tactics. Create a document that expands on negotiation within sales tactics. Provide a brief overview of negotiation, and generate detailed explanations, examples in bullet point format, examples, and related insights to deepen learners’ understanding.
