On this third day of the 12 Days of AI that I am engaged in, the prompt is all about some AI Mind-Mapping sites, which I find fascinating since I am intrigued by informational design. The prompt suggests we input a teaching question with an AI-powered site called Mapify, and so I went with: Design a teaching unit on Interactive Fiction that integrates Second Person Narrative Point of View and the use of hyperlinks in story design.
The results were quite interesting, and the site allows for a variety of different output formats.
Here is a link to Flickr that allows better zooming in, or even better, this link brings you right to the mindmap at the site
One of the inquiry questions with the activity is: Should we disclose our use of AI to create learning materials? How does this help or hinder students’ experience?Â
I say, yes, of course, and maybe even make it more visible to students by explaining not just the prompt, and the output, but then your own critique of what was created, and adaptations that were made before implementation in the classroom/learning setting.
I think the Mind-Map site I used for my query did a pretty decent job of covering the introduction to Interactive Fiction, with some actual historical game examples as mentor texts; showing hyperlinks can be become the architectural of a digital Interactive Fiction story/game; and ending with reflection and assessment possibilities.
I am almost tempted to turn this Mind Map into an Interactive Fiction game, as a learning tool for teachers.
Peace (pondering the paths),
