Short Description - Creator Guide

This is a Creator Help Guide for the Short Description feature that explains how the AI-generated summary appears on the resource card to help learners decide if the content is relevant, and notes that creators can rewrite it in their own words to better reflect their voice, emphasis, or cultural framing.

What is the Short Description?

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.

How it Works

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.

Where It Appears

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

Customising Your Description

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

Best Practice

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.

Not Right? Retry

Use the "Not right? Retry" button to generate a fresh version if you'd like a different starting point before customising further.

Need Help?

Think of this as your resource's "elevator pitch" - a quick, compelling summary that helps the right learners find your kōrero.
