Draft from a prompt or document

Use a prompt or source document to create a starting course. The generated pages and blocks remain editable, so you can review and adapt them for your learners.

Give the draft a specific job: identify the audience, describe a task they need to perform, and include relevant source information. Explain any constraints or uncertainties you already know about. This gives you a clearer basis for reviewing the result; it doesn’t make the generated content automatically correct.

Start a draft

From Studio home, choose Draft with AI. The dialog offers two modes: From a document or From a prompt.

• From a document — Paste your source text or add a Word (.docx), text, or Markdown file. The AI is instructed to stay within the source document. Check the draft against the source before relying on it.
• From a prompt — Describe the course you want: topic, audience, length, and anything it must cover.

You can optionally provide a course title and choose the course language. If you leave the title blank in document mode, the draft uses the document’s title.

Choose a Length: Short (4–5 pages), Medium (6–8 pages), or Long (9–12 pages).

Choose a Design approach: Standard, Academic, or Performance. Standard plans objectives and pages. Academic or Performance plans backward design: Plan course shows Results, Evidence, and Pages, and nothing is written yet. Edit that plan, then choose Build course. One build writes the whole course, including the results and the evidence.

The request shows loading feedback while it runs. Wait for a completed result before treating a draft as created. Read the result as a draft. Check facts, objectives, sequence, feedback, and accessibility before sharing it. Generated content is native editable course content.

When you Plan course, the cover welcomes learners with a short scenario hook instead of restating objectives, and the studio drops a redundant welcome or introduction page that has no key points when one appears right after the cover.

What Build course writes for quizzes

When you choose Build course, the pages follow the plan you approved.

A Quiz page stays a scored quiz (Scored quiz — counts as assessment). The build asks for the question types named in that page’s purpose and key points. The AI can write Single choice (also “multiple choice”), Multiple answers (also “select all that apply” or “multiple response”), True or false, Short answer, Numeric, Matching (four to six pairs), Ordering, and Fill in the blanks. The build keeps at most 10 questions on a quiz. If the AI leaves one out, the studio asks it once to fix the draft. Anything still missing is listed in Course review. Read the questions before you rely on them.

When the outline mentions partial credit, the built quiz turns Partial credit on in the quiz inspector (off means all or nothing on multi-answer, matching, ordering, and fill-in-the-blanks questions).

A quiz on a Page is a knowledge check. Type is Knowledge check — practice, never blocks, Check each question is on, and each question has one hint under Hints (optional). The hint uses that question’s Feedback after answering when it has any, shortened at a word boundary to 300 characters. Otherwise the hint is “Look back at the lesson and try once more.”

On a Quiz page or a knowledge check, Attempts allowed uses a number in that page’s purpose, key points, or drafted titles and question wording, from 1 to 20, such as “2 attempts” or “two attempts.” Zero, a number outside that range, or no mention leaves attempts unlimited. The field shows 0, which means unlimited.

A question that already has its own objective links keeps them. Otherwise it is linked to the objectives on its page. When the wording includes the full text of exactly one of those objectives, and that text is at least 8 characters, only that objective is linked. If not, every objective on the page is linked. A page with no objectives leaves the question unlinked.

A Cover keeps the quiz settings the draft wrote. Questions on it are still linked to that page’s objectives when the page has any.

Control the request

Before submitting, check your prompt or source text. While generation runs, the dialog prevents closing. Once the plan is shown, you can go back to your source text to adjust it before building.

If the response is interrupted, check Studio home before trying again. The server may already have created the course, and repeating the request can create another draft.

For a plan you can review before building pages, use Blueprint. For changes to an existing course, use Assist.
