AI+ for Online Course Creation

Launch Your Course Faster with AI

From storyboard to launched course in weeks, not months.

Your courses take twice as long to produce as they should, AI-generated content sounds like it was written for no one, and you're not sure which tools to use when. This book gives course creators the Online Course Creation Prompt Toolkit (32 prompts across the full production sprint), a four-phase production system that AI accelerates from scripting through to launch, and a pre-launch QA checklist that catches what gets missed. Built by an AI engineering firm for course creators who know the difference between a course that ships and one that lands.

Inside
  • 32 ready-made, market-tested prompts: scripts, narration, on-screen copy, video production briefs, image generation prompts, QA checklists
  • A four-week production sprint — storyboard to publication — with AI as the production partner at every stage
  • An authoring tool selection discipline that matches the right tool to the brief — not the familiar tool to every brief
  • A pre-launch QA checklist that catches production failures before learners do
  • A 30-day plan for e-learning developers, L&D production teams, SMEs publishing first courses, independent trainers, and educators going asynchronous
Who this is for

Any professional whose primary work involves building and publishing online learning content. This includes: e-learning developers who receive storyboards or content outlines and turn them into publishable courses; L&D professionals whose role spans both designing and producing digital learning; subject matter experts who have been asked to record and publish their knowledge as online courses; independent trainers, consultants, and coaches transitioning their programmes to digital delivery; and educators creating online versions of classroom content for asynchronous or blended delivery. The common thread: they are responsible for getting learning content from a document or brief into a format that learners can actually access and complete — and they face a production bottleneck. Typically 1–12 years in L&D, education, training, or a specialist domain, with production as a growing or central part of their role.

Also for:Heads of L&D or digital learning managing course production teams and timelines; project managers overseeing e-learning production; video and media producers moving into learning content; instructional designers who want to own more of the production process; marketing or communications professionals whose organisations are building knowledge bases or customer-facing learning content.

You’ll be able to
  • Build a complete, production-ready online course — from storyboard or content brief through scripting, media production, authoring, and LMS publication — using AI as a production partner at each stage
  • Write course scripts, narration text, and on-screen copy that follow instructional writing conventions and are structured for online learning environments, using AI as the primary drafting tool with professional judgement as the quality filter
  • Produce course visuals, video recordings, and audio narration at a professional standard using AI-assisted production tools — including AI-generated voiceover, image generation, and video editing — with appropriate quality and licensing checks
  • Select the appropriate authoring tool, assessment format, and publishing platform for a given course brief, learner profile, and organisational context; configure and publish a course in SCORM or equivalent standard
  • Apply a structured quality assurance process before course launch, including functional testing, learner pilot feedback, and a pre-launch QA checklist; set up analytics tracking for completion and engagement
  • Manage the production output of a course efficiently across a four-week sprint using AI — applying quick wins to cut production time without compromising learning quality
