Creating a course

A guide on the various ways to create a course, editing, and regeneration.

Step 1: Select a mode


Step 2: Set parameters

Depending on the mode selected in step 1, these fields may be shown:

  • Learning Outcomes

Topics or goals that your student should learn by the end of the course. They are used to help structure and add focus to the course outline and content.

  • Student Profiles

Student profiles help further refine course outcomes based on key student demographics, like age group, interests, and familiarity with the subject.

  • Sources

When used, Courseau will prioritize the information from the source materials instead of the base language model (LLM).

Please ensure all links are publicly accessible so that we can index them. A transcript is not required for the video to be indexed.

A note on copyright:

Please include source links to the uploads that don't belong to you somewhere within your course content. These can be added in the editing process.

Please note that YouTube sources have been unstable, and is unavailable as a source input option until we can reliably resolve this.


Step 3: Create/Edit Outline

An outline can either be manually created by the user or automatically generated based on your inputs in step 2.

The course hierarchy:

Modules Lessons / Exams Cards Elements

Tips:

  • To understand what the system came up with and why, please read the blue text. If this rationale doesn't make sense, feel free to go back and edit your inputs and parameters.

  • The generated outline includes:

    • Course title

    • Lesson title

    • Lesson objectives

    • Card types within each lesson

    • Quantity of cards within each lesson

  • Everything is editable and should be carefully reviewed for flow and accuracy. New lessons and modules can be added, deleted, duplicated, and re-arranged (drag+drop) at this stage.

  • After generating your course, you can still easily add and re-generate the lesson/card by inputting a new lesson/card objective.

💡 It's generally easier to start by creating a great outline rather than heavily reworking the output, so we recommend you spend a bit of time in the outline view (above) before clicking [generate].
