Creating a Course Summary with AI

Creating a New Course

When creating courses, you have the option to use Course Planning, which is AI-enabled. From the courses page, click the New Course button to the right.

You’ll have three options to create a course from there:

  • Course Planning (AI Enabled, Recommended): Start by entering your learning objectives to create a course outline that aligns with your goals.
  • Blank Course: Start from a blank course and add in each module and question individually.
  • Upload File: Select an Excel file to import courses, modules, and questions.

In this article we will discuss Course Planning, but if you want to know more about the other course creation methods, check out these articles:

To create the course through Course Planning, click Start with planning.

From there, you’ll enter your Course Title and Course Description, and select your AI Sources. After you're happy with those elements, click Create course summary.

Create & Edit Course Summary 

When creating your course, you have the option to write your own course summary or have AI make an initial course summary and outline based on your selected source material.

After the course summary is created (either with AI or written by an author,) you have the option to edit your course summary manually or through the AI Assistant. 

NOTE: If you choose to skip the AI course summary creation and want to manually enter the information: 
  • Click the edit button on the Course Summary page and acknowledge that manually editing will end your AI session for refining the course summary
  • Manually update the course summary
  • Save updates

To learn more about creating a course without AI, check out the Using the Course Planning Wizard.

AI Assistant

  • The AI assistant chat box will be open on the righthand side, and you will be able to ask AI for changes.

  • The AI Assistant will automatically update the course summary based on your input.

Add & Remove Sources

Your course sources can be managed under the Sources tab to the right of the Course Outline. From there, you can add a new source or remove an existing source.

Add Source

To add a new source, click Sources. You can select from your existing sources on Amplifire or upload a new source from your computer (PDFs, Word documents, and PowerPoints.)

Once you select the documents and click Add to Course, the files will automatically be listed under the sources list. 

Remove Source

Your existing sources will be listed and to remove a source, you can click the trash bin icon to the right of the source file name. A confirmation message will pop up where you can confirm to remove the existing source or cancel the request. 

Edit Course Outline

Once your course is generated, you can edit the course outline using AI, or you can edit the outline manually.

Edit with AI

  • Click Fill in questions with AI and a popup will appear listing all questions currently marked with “No content.” Within this popup, you can select or deselect which questions you want the AI to fill.
    • Additionally, you have the option to allow the AI to use the Internet to gather information beyond the uploaded source materials.
  • When you click Fill in questions with AI you will receive confirmation that the questions are generating and you can view a dynamic progress bar that is displayed during the process of filling in questions with the AI.

Once the questions are generated and you've reviewed them for content and style, you can update the course by clicking Publish Changes.
