Use AI to create a course

Admins and authors can use AI to create a course, either by providing instructions on the objective and intended audience, or by uploading a file (.pdf, .docx or .pptx only).

The generated course will contain:

• a title and a summary — which may or may not be identical to the document;
• between 3 and 10 cheat sheets — each with a title, a formatted text body, and an Unsplash image related to the topic;
  • If the course is generated from a document, the cheat sheets will try to match the original structure of the document.
• AI-generated questions after each cheat sheet (alternating between Single selection, Multiple Choice, and True/False) — unless there is not enough information in the cheat sheet;
• and a final cheat sheet called "Takeaways" — containing the original file, downloadable by learners.

The course will be written in the language of the document, or the title of the course if it’s created by manual instructions (as long as it’s one of the languages supported by the platform).

Create a course by providing instructions (prompt-based)

1. At the top right of the homepage, click CREATE → Course.
2. Click Blank.
3. At the top of the page, enter a title for the course.
4. In the AI section below, fill in the fields What is the objective of your course? and Who is this course for? (you can add line breaks by pressing ⇧+↵ on your keyboard).
5. Click outside the field, or press the ↵ Enter key on your keyboard.

The course generation starts immediately. When it is finished, the course remains in the edit screen, so you can review and adapt the contents before sharing it.

Create a course by uploading a document

1. At the top right of the homepage, click CREATE → Course.
2. Click Document.
3. Drag & drop the file into the window, or click OR SELECT A FILE and select the file from your computer. See the accepted documents section below →

The course generation starts immediately, we will send you an email when it’s complete. Click OK, THANKS to close the pop up.

If the course generation is successful, you will receive this email. Otherwise, you will receive this email. Check that the file meets the criteria listed in step 3, above.

Those emails are sent even if the user uploading the file has all their notifications muted.

Accepted documents

We accept documents that meet all of the following criteria:

• Format: Must be in .pdf, .pptx, or .docx.
• Length: Must contain between 500 characters (1 page) and 100,000 characters (50 pages).
• Language: Must be in one of the languages supported by the platform.
• Content:
  • Must contain text (images are not processed).
  • Ideally structured in paragraphs rather than tables or slides.

Add guidelines for course creation

Admins can add guidelines for the AI assistant to generate courses that align with your company culture, pedagogy goals and compliance.

Those guidelines are defined at the group level. They will automatically apply to all subgroups, until a subgroup has its own guidelines (which will in turn apply to all its subgroups in the same way).

Add guidelines for company culture

Company culture lets you tweak the tone of voice.

1. In the left sidebar, click on a group.
2. At the top right, click Settings.
3. In the left sidebar, click Prompt Engineering → Company culture.
4. Tweak the various options to adjust the communication style, formatting, and optionally language variations.
   • The option Inclusive writing focuses on ensuring the content uses gender-neutral language and avoids stereotypes.
5. In Glossary, you can add keywords that describe the specifics of your activity. This will help AI identify when those words are used in a video, and improve the quality of the video transcripts.

Add guidelines for pedagogy

1. In the left sidebar, click on a group.
2. At the top right, click Settings.
3. In the left sidebar, click Prompt Engineering → Pedagogy.
4. In Course info, you can add instructions regarding the course title and summary.
5. Select a Pedagogical plan.
6. Select a Course maximum duration. The AI will determine the number of cheat sheets based on that duration.
7. Enable or disable Include Key Takeaways. If enabled, the AI will automatically generate a summary cheat sheet at the end of the course, with the list of key takeaways.
8. Select the number of Knowledge check questions per activity. If you choose 0, the AI will not generate any question.

Add guidelines for compliance

1. In the left sidebar, click on a group.
2. At the top right, click Settings.
3. In the left sidebar, click Prompt Engineering → Compliance.
4. Enable or disable each section to include (or not include) instructions about this specific topic.
   • Expand the section to edit the prompt. You can also select a prompt template in the dropdown just above, and edit it in the prompt textbox.

If the course was created by uploading a document, we will underline parts that are considered non-compliant.

If the course was created by using instructions, and the topics or contents of the title or instructions are in direct contradiction with the compliance, we will stop the course generation, and display an error message.

It will also check if generation contents are in relation to different compliance topics provided in the prompt. If so, it will add a reference to those compliance laws. For example, if a user generates a course mentioning personal data, AI will automatically add reference to GDPR.
