Introduction
This guide explains how to create an online training course from a prompt using the AI-assisted course generation feature in ComplyFlow's e-Learning authoring tool. The Create Course (AI) option makes it easy to create a structured, engaging course from a simple text description. Whether you have a topic in mind or a specific learning outcome you want to achieve, the AI tool will help you bring your ideas to life in a few simple steps.
Generating a Course Using AI
1. Navigate to Training > Online Courses.
2. Select Add Course > Create Course (AI)
3. Enter your prompt. Place a description of what the course should cover. The more detail you provide, the better the result. You can include:
Learning goals
Topics to cover
Any specific information about the content to be included
Select Submit when you are ready to continue.
4. Select the option that best describes your audience's existing knowledge:
Beginners — This is the first time they are learning about the topic
Intermediate — They know the basics of the subject
Advanced — They are already knowledgeable about the subject
5. Enter specific details about your audience to help adjust the tone and examples used throughout the course. The tool will suggest two audience types based on your prompt, or you can type your own. This step is optional.
6. The tool will detect the language used in your prompt and ask whether you would like the course to be in that language or a different one. If you select a different language, choose from the dropdown menu provided.
7. Select the tone you would like your course to have:
Informal & Conversational — Casual and friendly
Academic & Research-Based — Formal and research-focused
Motivational & Persuasive — Inspiring and encouraging
The selected tone will be applied throughout the course content.
8. Choose how many screens you want your course to contain:
4–6 screens
5–10 screens
10–15 screens
15-20 screens
More than 20 screens
Note: For courses with more than 20 screens, you will be advised to break the content into smaller courses in line with best practice learning design
9. Select Generate course outline. The tool will automatically generate a course outline based on your prompt and preferences. You will see a list of screens representing the structure of your course, including a quiz screen at the end.
10. After generating the full course, you can refine the outline:
Add a screen — Select the + symbol at the bottom of the course outline
Remove a screen — Hover over the screen and select the delete icon
Edit a screen title — Select the title text and type your new title
Rearrange screens — Select and drag a screen to a new position in the outline
11. Once you are satisfied with the outline, select Create course to begin generating the course.
12. The tool will generate your course one screen at a time, adding relevant images automatically where appropriate.
Edit and Publish Your Course
13. Once generated, you can make final edits to the content, adjust the design, and fine-tune any elements. See Publishing and Managing Course Updates for more information on editing your course content.
14. When you are satisfied, select Save Course.
Note: Changes saved in the authoring tool are not visible to learners until the course is Published. See Publishing and Managing Course Updates for more information.
