Creating a course in Smartcat AI

Discover how to create a course in Smartcat using the built-in features of Drive.

You will first want to sign up for the beta to access Smartcat AI's learning content creation tool. Register via our beta sign-up form on the Smartcat AI for Learning Content page.

Once you have access, to create a new course in Smartcat, you can use any content uploaded to Drive, or start from scratch.

To get started, click Create new course.

Insert your course idea in the course description section. Define your learning objectives and goals. Specify your course details: add the knowledge level required, related materials, language, and course duration.

After you have added all the necessary info, click Generate course description.

In the Summary tab, you will see the generated course title and course description, both of which you can manually edit. You can regenerate the title and description using Smartcat AI.

Click on the Smartcat AI icon in the text field and select regenerate. It will generate a new title. This also works for the course description.

The course is structured around learning outcomes, which serve as the foundation for the curriculum. To generate outcomes, click Generate learning outcomes.

You'll see the first-level learning outcomes, which is the foundation for your learning modules. Review the generated outcomes. After that, the next step is to generate second-level learning outcomes, which will serve as the components of the course.

Edit the learning outcomes manually or regenerate them with Smartcat AI by typing in instructions.

Add or delete the outcomes by utilizing the respective icons on the right.

Now you can generate a structure by clicking the respective button.

You will proceed to the Structure tab. As before, feel free to edit the elements. If you need to change the type of element, click on the icon on the right to a title.

That works for not only a separate element but also for a whole module. Configure your course structure by adding elements, modules, or lessons. Drag and drop elements to change the sequence of the elements.

Once the course structure is in place, it’s time to fill it with content. Navigate to the Content tab to generate content for a course with Smartcat AI. Let's explore some components you might integrate into your course.

Each segment has a specific type of content. To generate a video, begin by specifying the video duration. Next, click the corresponding button to generate key points for the script.

You’ll see a list of key points for the script. Edit them, add, reorder, or delete themб then click Generate script.

Now you have a script for a video. Use the Regenerate button if you want to see another variant of the script. Review and improve your script.

When all the edits are done, y ou can attach your own video through the link or generate a video.

To generate a video, click the Generate video button. Video generation will take some time. Preview your video right in the editor of the element.

Specify view of cards presentation, enter the number of cards and type of stack. Use the Generate flashcards. Improve your flashcards by editing, reorder, or regenerating them.

Generate an Accordion, an element which provides a concise overview of the different topics. The description under the title will be hidden by default. Add an item, reorder them, and delete.

Select the Quiz element. In the Settings, choose a question type: single or multiple choice, specify the number of questions, then click Generate quizzes.

Edit the right answers and generate answer options, for example. Add and delete questions.

Open the element settings. Enter the reading time and add the instructions. Generate key points, then generate the text for reading.
