Create Lessons<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nThe system will take a short moment to generate the outline. When a green success message appears, the course outline has been created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Click the Course Title<\/strong> link to open the course directly in the Course Builder.<\/p>\n\n\n\nGenerated Content Behavior<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Course Outline Builder generates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Lesson titles only<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The following content is not<\/strong> generated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Lesson content<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Topics<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Quizzes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Assignments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
This behavior is intentional. The feature is designed to help structure and plan a course, while leaving instructional content creation to the course author.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhy is GPT-4 not available?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Course Outline Builder uses GPT-3.5-Turbo<\/strong>. This model provides sufficient capability for outline generation while maintaining lower usage limits and faster response times. More advanced models are not required for generating lesson titles and outlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhy were no lessons generated?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
OpenAI enforces limits on the number of tokens returned in a single request. If lesson generation fails, try the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Reduce the number of lessons requested<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Provide a more specific course description<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Avoid extremely short or overly generic prompts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Is there a cost associated with the Course Outline Builder?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Yes. OpenAI charges a small usage-based fee for API requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As an example, generating 10 courses with 10 lessons each resulted in a total charge of approximately $0.0038<\/strong>. Actual costs may vary depending on usage and OpenAI pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\nConclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Course Outline Builder provides a fast way to scaffold courses and organize lesson structure using AI assistance. By automating lesson title creation, course creators can focus on refining instructional content and learning outcomes while maintaining full control over course quality and direction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
