LearnWorlds’ AI Assistant helps you draft course outlines, generate assessments, and write supporting copy. The tool uses GPT-3.5 to accelerate initial content creation, reducing course development time from weeks to minutes.
Here’s what the assistant does:
The AI provides starting points, not finished products. Your expertise as a subject matter expert remains essential for ensuring accuracy, relevance, and quality.
You can work from scratch or feed the assistant existing materials like articles, blog posts, and text documents to shape its output. It can also help you generate and refine course ideas during the brainstorming process.
Beyond course creation
The AI Assistant includes 38 functions powered by 200+ prompts across the platform. These address common bottlenecks in course creation and elearning business operations, from content development to marketing copy.
The assistant helps with course adaptation as well. As your training needs evolve and learner preferences shift, you can use it to update and modify content efficiently.
Core capabilities include:
Here’s how each works in practice.
Course outline generator
The outline generator asks you questions about your course requirements to help you write a course outline. Four fields are mandatory, and the remaining six can help you improve the output’s relevance when completed.
You will need to provide course details and prompts at each step to guide the AI.
Here’s the 10-step process you can take:
Clear, specific input produces better results. The more precise your course details and prompts, the more tailored the outline becomes.
Once generated, review the outline carefully before proceeding. Common edits include:
When you are satisfied with your outline, insert it into LearnWorlds as a new course.
Note: You will need to log in or create a new account on LearnWorlds to start creating your first AI-generated online course.
Lesson content creation
With your outline ready, you can now generate content for specific activities.
Upload videos, PDFs (including converting PDF files into interactive content), SCORM files, or use any learning activities LearnWorlds supports. You can also create interactive courses directly from existing documents, slides, or standard operating procedures. Then use the AI Assistant to create text-based activities.
The assistant helps you build:
Ebooks: Your “blank canvas” multimedia activity, you can generate the content with AI and add your own images & videos to create a multimedia activity.
Assessments: Quizzes, exams, and tests of all kinds. The AI Assistant can generate questions & answers from scratch or by “reading” your existing activities.
The tool can also translate courses into multiple languages for international audiences.
How LearnWorlds’ prompt engineering works
The prompts that are driving the AI Assistant use an instructional design approach and are engineered specifically for educational content creation. This produces more suitable elearning output than general-purpose AI tools like ChatGPT, where you’d need advanced prompt engineering skills to achieve similar results.
The AI Course Creator can have learning activities ready in your LMS within minutes. All progress and generated content are automatically saved for retrieval and customization.
Ebook learning activity
Open the ebook learning activity and choose from 28 pre-loaded prompts designed to make content creation simple.
Common options you can choose from include:
When creating learning objectives, you need to specify the following:
Most fields are optional, but adding more detail produces more targeted results.
Example: Requesting 10 learning objectives will generate exactly that, though 2-5 objectives typically provide sufficient direction for most courses. After some editing and refining, you’ll have learning objectives to share with students or guide your content development.
You can use content editing commands to expand the learning objectives into longer paragraphs or rewrite them as needed. The AI can also generate audio narration for your course content.
Assessment creation & feedback
Assessments evaluate, measure, and reinforce learning. Creating effective assessments requires subject knowledge and thoughtful design—both time-intensive.
The AI Assistant can generate assessments from scratch or base them on existing ebooks, documents, or external links. This gives you control over source material.
Available assessment types in LearnWorlds:
The assistant can create individual question types or combine them in a single assessment unit.
To generate assessments from existing elearning content, you can select from previously created ebook activities, web URLs, or text passages.
Make sure to also review AI-generated assessments for accuracy, relevance, and alignment with your learning objectives.
Common issues to check? Bias in questions or answers, irrelevant content that doesn’t match your course scope, and mismatched difficulty levels.
Finally, you can create assessments from multiple sources to test knowledge comprehensively. Set the number of questions per learning activity to ensure coverage across your entire course.
Give feedback to students using AI
Reviewing assessments and providing feedback consumes significant time, especially with large cohorts. Personalized feedback improves learning outcomes by helping students understand their mistakes, but delivering it at scale creates logistical challenges.
The AI Assistant drafts feedback responses you can customize before sending. This reduces time spent on repetitive explanations while maintaining the personalization your learners need. Feedback tools can be used collaboratively by teams of instructors or support staff. AI-powered chatbots can also provide instant student support and analyze learner feedback.
Hours previously spent on manual feedback are now available for other tasks, and you can retrieve, update, and customize responses without losing your work.
The AI Assistant extends beyond course creation into marketing content.
Content creators often need compelling landing page copy, course titles, and calls-to-action, but may lack copywriting experience. The platform includes prompt templates loaded into LearnWorlds’ Website Builder.
Select the text you want to improve and choose an AI prompt. You can also provide your own prompts to refine output until it meets your standards.
The assistant can also generate FAQ sections addressing common questions from prospective learners.
Email copy
LearnWorlds provides pre-designed email templates for course notifications as well. The AI Assistant lets you customize and improve these templates.
The content generator includes engineered prompts. Just specify your email’s goal, tone of voice, and keywords you want to include for better results.
Use the same instructions across multiple emails to maintain a consistent voice and style throughout your communications.
Content editor
The content editor provides prompts to improve text across the platform. This includes course content, landing pages, or emails.
These are the available commands:
Polish text: improves syntax and grammar
Rewrite text: rephrases content
Make it catchy: using more engaging vocabulary
Make it surprising: creates anticipation
Make it serious: adopts a formal tone
Shorten: reduces word count
Expand: adds detailed text
Summarize: condenses content
Analyze the style, voice, and tone: explains stylistic choices
Change tone: adjusts formality (casual, direct, etc.)
Translate: converts text to another language from the dropdown menu.

Reviewing AI-generated content
AI is a tool that requires skill, knowledge, and responsible handling—similar to any professional instrument. It has its limitations and works best within clear usage guidelines.
As the subject matter expert, you’re responsible for ensuring content accuracy, factual correctness, and genuine value to learners. The AI assists you in drafting, writing, and refining content, but final quality control remains your responsibility.
Common concerns about AI in course creation include risk of bias, privacy issues, and producing generic content. A careful review of AI-generated material, however, addresses these concerns and ensures that your course meets high standards.
