There are 3 possible starting points for creating a course: Parameters, Sources, and Outline. Complete at least one section, and Courseau will infer the rest.
💡 The more information you provide, the more specific your outcome will be.
1. Parameters
Set the foundations of your course that help guide Courseau in the right direction. All fields are optional.
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.
*If nothing is added, Courseau will infer outcomes and offer generalized lessons, which is a great solution for more shallow, overview-style courses.
Student Profiles
Student profiles help further refine course outcomes based on key student demographics, like age group, interests, and familiarity with the subject.
*If nothing is added, Courseau will assume your students are college-educated professionals.
2. Sources
When used, Courseau will prioritize the information from the source materials instead of the base language model (LLM).
It is possible to add multiple sources in various formats. We only support videos uploaded from the computer and Youtube videos (note: currently unreliable!). Formats like Vimeo etc are not supported.
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.
3. Outlines
Outlines help give the user exact control over the flow and pace of the course and are therefore recommended. An outline can either be added custom by the user or automatically generated based on your sources and parameters.
Outlines contain:
Modules contain 3-5 lessons by default. You can add, remove, or rearrange lessons within and across modules.
Lessons contain 8-10 cards by default.
Cards and lessons can re-arranged, duplicated or deleted. They can be also be re-generated by inputting a new lesson objective.
Lesson objectives are the scaffolding for the lesson content. It tells the system what should be taught in that lesson
Cards may consist of lesson content, quiz, key takeaway, title, flip cards, examples, carousels - and we're adding more options.
