AI Assistant is here to help you create courses up to 9x faster. While those impressive gains might seem like magic, let’s pull back the curtain to reveal how it works and why we’re confident in its power. Explore 10 online course creation tasks that just got faster using AI Assistant below.

1. Upload and format source content 

Save hours spent poring over source materials or tediously copying and pasting source content into your online course. AI Assistant’s magic import feature seamlessly handles uploading and extracting information from source materials, instantly formatting content into Rise blocks.

2. Create a course outline

One of the first hurdles to fast course development is crafting a solid structure. With an abundance of information available, deciding what to include and how to organize it can be tedious. AI Assistant accelerates and simplifies this process. You can create a course outline based on your chosen topic or source material in minutes.

3. Brainstorm and draft new content

Got a case of writer’s block? AI Assistant can jumpstart your creativity and give you a head start on content creation. It helps you brainstorm, generate, and expand content, transforming a blank page into a complete text block or lesson in just a few clicks. Best of all, AI Assistant’s structured prompting framework makes it easy to provide direction at every stage, minimizing time spent on revisions. The result is high-quality, fully editable content from the start.

4. Add interactivity and convert block types

Transforming text into interactive flashcards, lists, sorting activities, tabs, process interactions, and more just got faster with AI Assistant. No need to spend time copying and pasting—you can now instantly convert between selective block types in Rise. This feature makes adding interactivity effortless and allows you to quickly experiment with different block types before choosing the best design.

AI Assistant UI shows the paragraph with heading block, and a dropdown menu with the words "instant convert." A secondary menu offers the choices to convert the paragraph block to the following block options: sorting, flashcard, list, accordion, tabs, or process.

5. Generate custom images

Finding and purchasing the right visuals can be time-consuming. Course designers often struggle to find images that accurately represent their audience, work context, or visual theme— and may end up settling for subpar options due to time constraints. AI Assistant solves these pain points by generating tailored images lightning-fast. It can generate images in seconds without the hassle of searching for stock photos. 

This sample image was created using AI Assistant in Rise. It shows a man sitting at his desk, typing on a computer, and wearing a headset.

6. Create knowledge checks and full-course quizzes

AI Assistant can also rapidly create lesson-level assessments or full-course quizzes, complete with feedback to reinforce learning. Keep the questions you like, and easily edit those you don’t—it’s as fast as a click of a button. The ability to specify the quiz learning objectives or desired level of difficulty helps AI Assistant better tailor questions to better suit your content and audience.

7. Write summaries 

Ever get to the end of a lesson or course and feel like you have nothing more to say on the topic? Speed up or skip over this step completely by asking AI Assistant to draft a summary for you. Reach the finish line faster with polished summaries in just a few clicks.

8. Edit and refine content 

Even the best course content developers need an editor to catch mistakes and polish from an external perspective. With AI Assistant, you can quickly edit and refine content, adjust tone, check grammar, improve readability, and generate additional material as needed. It’s like having an editor on speed dial.

Product UI presents the user with the question, "How should I edit this block?" The user preview shows the following editing choices: Make longer, make shorter, change focus, change tone.

9. Add narration and sound effects

Quality narration and sound effects enhance engagement and accessibility. AI Assistant now accelerates these functionalities in Storyline. With its Text-to-Speech feature, you can add your script, define voice settings, and let AI Assistant generate highly realistic and customizable narration quickly. Or, add a layer of realism to your audio content with instant AI-generated sound effects.

10. Enable SMEs to create

This final task is often overlooked—yet has a major impact on course development times. AI Assistant democratizes e-learning development, turbocharging both experienced and novice course designers alike. Its user-friendly design allows anyone, including subject matter experts (SMEs), to quickly produce high-quality content. With more meaningful contributions, revision cycles and development times shorten dramatically.
