1. Microsoft Designer Software Review (Part 2)
An interactive software simulation review of Microsoft’s new AI-powered design tool. It covers how to create and edit AI-generated images. It includes an interactive learning activity that is scored and can be published to a learning management system (LMS).
Select to Launch
This training is the second entry in a series of interactive software simulations reviewing this enjoyable and powerful AI-powered design tool.
This particular review offers a comprehensive screen review including a deep stretch to all corners of its newly revised Home screen.
If you want to learn how to create AI-generated images and edit them with easy-to-use tools and resources, this training for you.
An added element is an interactive simulation assessment with scoring that can be published to a Learning Management System (LMS).
Objective: This Part 2 seeks to explore the deepest corners of the new Home screen, along with its My Projects and Project Editor screens.
Additionally, we cover how to access the tool. It is free after all.
Primary Authoring Tool: Articulate Storyline 360
Key Interactive Features used:
- True-False Variables – used for Slide Completion Tracking, Menu Navigation (Section Progress Indicator State Changes), and Interactive Simulation Assessment Unlock – becomes accessible after all sections are completed.
- Screen Recording (View Mode) – used for demonstration video screen recording and play.
- Screen Recording (Test Mode) – used for video screen recording with learner-controlled selectable navigation for interactive simulation assessment.
- Layers – used to display custom feedback for correct, incorrect, and try again during the interactive simulation assessment.

2. Microsoft Designer Software Review (Part 1)
This interactive software simulation reviews Microsoft’s AI-powered design tool. It introduces the application and offers both a demonstration video and a learner-controlled walk-through with hints.
Select to Launch
This simulation is intended for beginners and is planned as the first entry in a series of interactive software simulations reviewing this enjoyable and powerful AI-powered design tool.
This particular review introduces the application and its main home screen, covers how to generate an AI image using the tool’s ‘Prompt Templates’, and finally how to download a generated image.
Objective: Many adults do not know this tool exists even though it is a major Microsoft entry into the AI-powered image and graphics generation space. This software simulation was developed to offer a glimpse into the tool and its most basic function of creating an AI image and downloading it.
Primary Authoring Tool: Articulate Storyline 360
Key Interactive Features used:
- Screen Recording (View Mode) – used for demonstration video screen recording and play
- Screen Recording (Try Mode) – used for video screen recording with learner-controlled selectable navigation with ‘Hints’
- Layers – used to display custom alerts to provide the learner feedback for incorrect clicks or selections in the learner-controlled walk-through.

3. Generative AI Fundamentals
This interactive microlearning is 25 slides with a 5-question assessment. Some slides have additional tabbed content. One has optional audio.
Select to Launch
This course has dual intentions. One, it is intended to be a supplemental guide used by instructors for live training delivery. Two, it is for learners to access directly online.
It includes definitions and terms, notable providers and solutions, how to access and use Generative AI, guidance on prompts, examples, and more.
Objective: Research suggests that up to 50% of working adults have not actively experienced Generative AI. This course is fairly brief and an “easy” walk-through to provide an introduction in a non-complex manner. It is for beginners.
Primary Authoring Tool: Articulate Storyline 360
Key Interactive Features used:
- Tabs & Layers – used for interactive additional content display
- True-False Variables – used for Slide Completion Tracking, Menu Navigation (Section Progress Indicator State Changes), and Assessment (Quiz) Unlock – Quiz becomes accessible after all slides and content have been viewed.
- Lightbox – used for a Custom Navigation Menu Display and Additional (but optional) ‘Technical’ Content Display
Secondary Design Tools: Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Audition
