How to create a course from description using AI

Generate an editable course draft from description, track the AI task, and review the result safely.

This workflow turns description into an editable course draft. AI output must be checked against the source before learners receive it.

Step 1. Open Courses

Click Courses in the teacher menu and confirm that the intended content language is selected.

Courses page
Open the course workspace before choosing an AI method.

Step 2. Choose the description method

Click Create course, then choose AI course from description.

Expanded course creation menu
Choose the AI course from description method.

Step 3. Complete the form

Describe the audience, outcomes, topic, and draft program in concrete language.

Select the subject, language, course type, grades, and student goal. Then describe the target audience, measurable outcomes, topic boundaries, and draft program in separate fields. Do not write only a title: include prerequisites, depth, exclusions, and the intended order. A specific brief produces a more useful outline.

Complete the course foundation, access, and source fields.

Step 4. Finish the detailed brief

Write outcomes as observable skills, keep the topic field focused, and use the draft-program field for the desired module sequence. Avoid contradictory instructions and promises of guaranteed results.

Detailed course description inputs
Provide the audience, outcomes, topic, and draft structure separately.

Step 5. Submit and watch the quick status

Click the purple generation button once. A background task is created, so you can close the dialog and continue working. Open the bell/task menu in the header to see queued and processing status. When email notifications are enabled, SubSchool also emails you after completion or failure.

The header task menu shows the current generation state from any teacher page.

Step 6. Open the complete task history

Go to AI tasks to see progress, timestamps, the task type, the generated object, and any error. Do not submit the same source again merely because the dialog closed.

Step 7. Review the generated draft

Open the generated course. Compare titles, claims, ordering, lesson descriptions, and assignments with the source. Correct unsupported facts, confirm rights and audience level, set pricing and access, and preview the learner view before publishing.
