Evaluation of tools

Evaluation of tools

by Cecilia Fernandez -

I tried all four of the tools, plus chatGPT. 

Claude (free version) gave me a result very similar that chatGPT, an outline including all the modules I asked for and examples.

Coursemagic works differently, a lot of information has to be included manually, so for this assignment I skipped it. I will try it again later. 

My Coursebox limited me to three modules, which didn't fit my needs.  

Enter works similarly to Lovable, it doesn't give you just an outline, it built a complete application. 

What surprised me is that with some little exceptions, all the tools repeated the examples. 

After this exploration, I have decided to use a combination of the results I got from Enter, Claude and chatGPT, but varying the examples.

Thank you for sharing, Cecilia. It is interesting that even though the tools use different approaches and interfaces, many of them still generated very similar examples and structures. That observation highlights an important point about AI tools today. They are often trained on comparable patterns and instructional models, which can lead to repetitive or predictable outputs unless users actively adapt and personalize the content.

I think your decision to combine the strengths of Enter, Claude, and ChatGPT while modifying the examples is a very thoughtful approach. Instead of relying completely on one tool, you are using AI as a support system while still applying your own instructional judgment and creativity. That is where the real value comes from. The tools can help generate ideas and save time, but the educator or designer still shapes the learning experience to make it meaningful, relevant, and original.

Your experience with Coursebox and My Coursebox also shows how important it is to match the tool to the task. Some AI tools are better for brainstorming and outlining, while others are designed to build full applications or structured learning environments. Exploring several options helped you identify what works best for your needs and teaching style.
