The Short Description is a brief summary that appears on the resource card - it's often the first thing potential learners see when browsing content. This concise text tells them what they'll learn from your kōrero, helping them decide if it's relevant to their needs.
Kaha Create automatically generates a short description based on your video content, focusing on the key learning outcomes. This generated text captures what learners will gain from engaging with your resource.
The short description displays on the card preview (as shown below the description field). This card is what learners see when:
Browsing a hub or collection of resources
Searching for specific content
Deciding whether to click through to the full landing page
You have full control to rewrite the description in your own words. If the AI-generated version doesn't capture your kōrero the way you'd like, simply edit the text to better reflect:
Your unique voice and style
The specific value or outcomes you want to emphasise
Language that resonates with your particular audience
Cultural framing or te reo Māori that feels authentic to your kaupapa
Keep it concise and focused on what learners will gain. The short description should answer: "What will I learn from this?" in one or two clear sentences.
Use the "Not right? Retry" button to generate a fresh version if you'd like a different starting point before customising further.
Think of this as your resource's "elevator pitch" - a quick, compelling summary that helps the right learners find your kōrero.
