# How to Create a Course with AI Studio

AI Studio lets you generate a full course — structure, content, and assessment questions — from a simple description or an existing document, through a guided conversation with the AI.

## Step 1: Start a new AI Studio course
1. From the left navigation, click **AI Studio** .

*[AI Studio landing page: “Create Engaging Courses Using AI” heading, the prompt box with placeholder text, and the* ***Upload*** *button]*

1. In the prompt box, either: 1. **Type a description** of your course — e.g. *“create a simple course on digital marketing”*, or
2. **Click Upload** to attach a source document (PDF, DOCX, or PPTX) for the AI to build the course from.
2. Click the **send arrow** to submit.

**Tip:** You can combine both — describe what you want *and* upload a reference document — for the most accurate result.

## Step 2: Confirm the course brief
The AI proposes a course brief covering:

- **Topic**
- **Target Audience**
- **Proficiency** (e.g. Beginner)
- **Language**
- **Tone** (e.g. Technical Training)

This appears both in the chat and in the **Course Brief** checklist on the right, which fills in with a green checkmark as each item is confirmed.

*[The course brief moment: AI’s proposed brief in the chat on the left,* ***Course Brief*** *checklist on the right with green checkmarks, and the* ***Looks good*** */* ***I’d like to change something*** *buttons]*

Review it and choose:

- **Looks good** — to continue, or
- **I’d like to change something** — to adjust before moving on

## Step 3: Answer the guided setup questions
The AI will walk you through a few more choices, one at a time:

| **Question** | **Example options** |
| --- | --- |
| How should this course teach the content? | Explain then Practice, Problem First, Narrative Scenario |
| What kinds of components should this course include? | Text, Video, etc. |
| What kinds of questions should this course include? | Multiple Choice,Multi select,Short Answer,Dropdown,Numerical (skippable) |
| What visual style should the course use? | Default/Custom |
| Recommended or custom course size? | Recommended / Custom |
| *(if Custom)* How many sections? | 2–6 sections |
| *(if Custom)* How many subsections per section? | 2–5 subsections |
| *(if Custom)* How many units per subsection? | 2-4 units / your choice |

**Note:** You can type a custom answer into the chat box at any point instead of picking a suggested option.

## Step 4: Review and edit the course outline
Once setup is complete, the AI generates a full **Course Outline** in the right-hand panel — Sections, Subsections, and Units, each with its content components already mapped out.

At this stage you can:

- **Click any title** (Section, Subsection, or Unit) to edit it directly
- **Click the + on a Unit** to add a component — Image, Video, Multiple Choice, Multiple Select, Short Answer, Dropdown, Numerical, or Interactive
- **Remove** a component by clicking the **×** next to it
- Use **+ Add Unit** / **+ Add Subsection** to expand the structure

*[The* ***Course Outline*** *panel populated, with a Unit expanded showing its component chips and the* ***+*** *button visible]*

## Step 5: Generate the content
1. Once you’re happy with the outline, click **Generate Script** (bottom right).
2. The panel switches to **Script Generation**, showing each component’s status (queued → generated).
3. As each script completes, you can **read and edit the generated text** directly before finalizing.

*[****Script Generation*** *screen mid-run: some components showing generated with checkmarks, others still queued. Capture it partway so the progressive state is visible]*

## Step 6: Create the course
Once all components have finished generating (each shows a green checkmark), click **Create Course**.

Your course is built and ready — you can now open it in the regular Course Outline editor to fine-tune structure, add certificates, set up grading, and publish.
