How do I create a course using AI?

Coursebox offers flexible ways to create engaging online courses—whether you prefer the speed of AI or the control of manual design.

This section outlines how Learning Designers, Creators, and Administrators can quickly generate a course structure and content using the AI-powered tools available in Coursebox.

Starting Course Creation

To create a course, you can choose one of two quick and easy options. 

• Click 'courses' on the left hand side navigation bar and then the 'create' button

• Or Click the 'Plus' symbol in the top right and select 'courses'

Set Course Specifications

NOTE: The order in which you go through these steps is not fixed. You can input the audience before uploading documents for example. But this guide will simply go through the process left to right.  

• Select the language in which you want to write (using the drop down menu at the top right, shown below). Then in the 'generate your course' text box, describe your course. We'd recommend being as detailed as you can here, as the more thorough you are, the better tailored the content will be.

• Upload documents after clicking the 'upload' button (shown above). This will enable you to feed any text file into the algorithm that actually generates the content within the course. You can also use web links to train the AI on how to generate content in the same location. Simply click 'websites' and add the URL

• Describe the Audience: This is where you would describe your learner. Be as detailed as you can so that the content is tailored to your specific learner. How experienced are they likely to be? Would you estimate a certain age bracket? These are the kinds of details that are useful to include

• Set Structure (optional): This is where you can modify the structure of your case. This would refer to the number of topics, pages, quizzes and other inclusions with the content. This is also something that you can change when the content is generated, but defining this up front can save time

NOTE: You can modify the structure by using a file (create from file). This is where you could upload documents that describe your course curiculum, topics breakdown or other such details. Alternatively, you could go into the fixed parameters and modify the structure that way (as shown below)

• Settings: You can then modify the settings of the course. This refers to whether you choose to include Youtube links, AI generated images, interactive elements and pass grades (as shown below)

Generate the Course

Once you're happy with the specifications of the course, you're ready to generate. This can be done on any screen where you see the 'generate' button. The most obvious is back on the main course creation page shown below

• This can also be done from the 'Structure' page as well
• You'll then see the course being generated based on a progress bar

• Once the page starts to load, you'll see the content start to be populated based on the specifications you made

Modify the Content

You'll then have the opportunity to Modify the content. You will potentially see some sections or course inclusions still loading or being populated which is normal. You'll be able to see content appear as it's generated. 

• Edit the course: Click the 'edit course' button at the top right in order to start modifying the content that's been generated. 

• In edit mode, you'll be able to modify the text fields
• You'll be able to add additional interactive elements, videos and documents
• You can modify or add assignments and quizzes

The AI does a fantastic job of populating your course based on all the information you gave it up front. But this additional handle of control will enable you to perfect the content as you wish. Then you can publish invite and manage learners, admins and facilitators.
