๐ŸŽญ Setting up recurring characters in your project

Define your narrator and protagonists upfront to save time during course design.

โฑ๏ธ The essentials
โ€‹
โ€ข Recurring characters are the narrator and the two protagonists who appear in your information and exercise granules.
โ€ข They are configured in the project's Graphic Settings (๐ŸŽจ palette icon, top right) and are automatically included in every module generation.
โ€ข You can configure them before or after generation: they will be applied even if defined later.


๐Ÿง  What are recurring characters for?

In Didask, information and exercise granules feature characters: a narrator who introduces concepts, and two protagonists who take part in exchanges or scenario-based exercises.

By defining them upfront, you prevent the AI from generating random avatars for each module. The result is a consistent visual identity across your entire course, with no need to adjust things granule by granule.


โš™๏ธ Configuring recurring characters

  1. From your project page, click the Graphic Settings icon ๐ŸŽจ in the top right.

  2. Go to the Recurring characters section.

  3. For each character (narrator + 2 protagonists):

    • Click the pencil icon to change the avatar.

    • In the window that opens, select your image library.

    • Choose an avatar, adjust the display settings if needed, then click Save.

๐Ÿ’ก You can also import your own image to create a custom avatar, useful if you want to use photos or illustrations that match your brand guidelines.


๐Ÿ”„ What if I forget to configure them before generating?

No problem. If you set up your characters after generating modules, they will be applied to all future generations. Granules that have already been created keep their original characters: you can update them by regenerating the relevant granules.


๐Ÿ’ก Best practices

  • Choose characters that reflect your learners: a profile similar to theirs helps them picture themselves in the scenarios.

  • Stay consistent throughout your course: avoid changing the narrator mid-way, as it can disrupt the learner experience.

  • Set them up early to move faster: once configured, characters are automatically applied to all modules generated afterwards.
