Flipping the Switch: AI in Action
Sometimes, all it takes is one spark to see assignments in a whole new light. Flipping the Switch showcases how AI can transform learning tasks from functional to unforgettable by adding innovation, real-world relevance, and creative depth. This page demonstrates my work example of an AI design for the workplace and classroom, featuring a full walkthrough of my AI-powered pitch created in Articulate Rise.
You’ll also find classroom connections that highlight how these concepts can be adapted for educational settings, along with ready-to-use AI assignment examples for any course. The goal is to spark ideas, inspire innovation, and show how AI can light the way toward assignments that prepare learners for today’s world.
Full Work Sample Walkthrough: AI-Powered Pitch Simulation
The AI-powered pitch simulation is a fully developed AI-integrated assignment built in Articulate Rise. It immerses learners in a high-stakes, real-world marketing scenario where they take the lead as a product marketing specialist pitching to potential investors.
Across three phases, learners:
Draft a Strategic Plan – Research and outline the product’s market positioning
AI-Refined Strategic Plan – Use AI tools to enhance clarity, visuals, and alignment with trends
Simulated Investor Q&A – Practice answering challenging questions from AI personas representing potential investors
The result? A corporate-ready learning experience that mirrors how businesses actually use AI in their workflow, helping learners gain both technical skills and strategic thinking.
Classroom Connection
While my featured work sample is designed with a corporate audience in mind, the same principles can be applied in education. For example, in a marketing course, a standard assignment might ask students to create a PowerPoint presentation summarizing a product strategy.
Before: Students compile slides with basic market data, bullet-point strategies, and static visuals.
After: Students collaborate with AI to refine their market analysis, generate branded visuals and product mockups, and participate in a simulated Q&A with AI personas representing potential investors.
By integrating AI tools, the assignment shifts from a static presentation to an interactive, real-world simulation, enhancing engagement, fostering creativity, and preparing students for the professional environments they will encounter after graduation.
