How to Generate Entire Course with AI

The AI Lab add-on allows instructors to generate an entire course in just a few clicks by harnessing the power of artificial intelligence. With a well-structured prompt, AI can create comprehensive, well-organized courses with sections, lessons, descriptions, and learning objectives. Based on your input, AI Lab will automatically generate:

• Course title, description, and image

• Sections and lesson outlines

• Lesson content with explanations and key points

• Quizzes for selected lessons

• Assignments to reinforce learning

• Suggested images for each lesson

• Course FAQs

AI Lab can not generate Audio, Video, Google Meet, Stream, and Zoom Lessons. You can use tools to improve their text content, but these kinds of lessons should be created and added manually to the course.

1

Go to the WP Dashboard > MS LMS > Courses, then click on the Generate Course button:

2

On the opened page, you will see a special field dedicated to generating a course via prompt using AI:

3

Now, we need a very good prompt that describes our course. The more specific and structured your prompt is, the better the generated content will match your expectations.

Tips for Better Results

• Be clear about the target audience and their skill level.

• Define the number of sections and lessons to control the course size.

• Specify the learning goals and key topics to cover.

• Preferably, describe the course image as well.

• Choose a tone that fits your teaching style (e.g., casual, technical, academic).

• Define what kind of assignments and quizzes you want to include.

• You can also define the requirements for the course FAQs.

✅ You can later refine each lesson using other AI tools in the editor.

Here is the example prompt:

I want to create an online course about "Digital Marketing Basics" for freelancers and small business owners. The course should have 4 sections, each with 3 lessons (excluding quizzes and assignments).

It should cover topics like social media marketing, SEO, content strategy, and email marketing. Target audience is students between 16-35 y.o. In the course cover image illustrate the class with students learning Digital Marketing. Each lesson should include a short description and a few key learning points.

Please generate 2 quizzes per section with mixed question types, and add one practical assignment per section. Keep the tone practical and beginner-friendly. Try to be more creative and use emojis in text lessons.

To generate courses in other languages, you can give the prompt in the target language and include a clear instruction in your prompt about the language of the course.

Enter the prompt and click on the Generate Course button:

4

It takes some time for AI to generate an entire course with lessons. Be patient and do not close the tab during the course generation:

5

You will see the ready course preview with short and long descriptions, course cover image, and curriculum:

When it comes to curriculum, only section and lesson titles will be generated. Lesson content will be generated in the next steps.

6

If you do not like the AI-generated course, you have several options:

Regenerate Course

You can do it by clicking the Regenerate button on the right sidebar. It simply regenerates the course without changing your original prompt:

Change Prompt

If you want to add something or change your ideas, you can try changing your prompt. It can also be done by clicking the Change prompt button on the right sidebar:

Regenerate Curriculum

If you are satisfied with everything except the course curriculum, you can try regenerating it by clicking the Regenerate Curriculum button on the top right side of the curriculum section:

7

Once you are satisfied with the outputs, proceed by the Save and Continue button:

IMPORTANT

Be careful, if you close the tab without clicking the save button, the generated course will be lost. It will not be saved as a draft either.

8

After that, the system starts generating lesson contents. The same, wait patiently and do not close the tab:

Images for the lessons will not be generated in this step. To include illustrations inside lessons, you have to individually add them via Content Generator.

9

Once it's done, proceed by clicking the Save and Continue button:

10

Now, you can check the contents one by one and the rest of the settings.

Please check each lesson, quiz, and assignment and their content one by one. AI can make mistakes. You can use individual AI tools in each lesson to improve text content and add relevant images.

11

Move to the Settings tab, and check the course title, cover image, description, and provide other relevant details (course category, level, duration, etc.):

12

In this step, set pricing for the course on the Pricing tab and check the Course FAQs on the FAQ tab:

13

Now the course is ready to be published. You can change the course status from Draft to Published:

Here is our AI-generated course:
