Overview
Once you've uploaded your document, Course Creator's AI transforms and structures it into a course. This article covers editing your course before and after publishing, adding a test, and how long generation takes. For what to upload in the first place, see What content can I upload to Course Creator?
Editing a course
After you create a course, you can freely edit the AI-generated output directly in the course editor before publishing it to your LMS.
If you need to make changes after a course is published, you have two options depending on the scale of the change:
Minor edits (e.g. rewording): create a copy of the course, make your changes, and publish the updated version. This keeps learner progress on the original intact.
Major edits (e.g. changing the structure): update your source document and create a new course from the Custom Courses library, so the AI re-structures the content from scratch.
Both approaches let you introduce updates while retaining learner progress on the original version.
Adding a test
When uploading your document, you can choose to include a test at the end of your course. Course Creator scans your content and generates a multiple-choice test, which you can review and customise before publishing.
How long it takes to create a course
Processing time varies from a few minutes up to around 30 minutes, depending on the size of your course and current system load. You can safely close the Course Creator window while it generates — the process continues in the background, and you'll get an email when your course is ready.
