Extend what you can do

• Consider using genAI as part of the evaluation to provide feedback to learners based on the evaluation rubric developed. For example, gen AI can “listen” to a pitch developed by learners and provide feedback according to the rubric.
• Use AI to analyze performance data across many learners or employees to identify skills gaps and opportunities for an organization, or specific areas where instruction could improve for individual instructors or departments.  
• Use gen AI to provide longer term coaching to learners or employees to continue to develop skills gaps identified in the assessments or deepen areas of strength.
