Upload the handbook. Read back the outline.

A policy PDF, a deck, last year's notes. Coursebox reads the file and lays out the modules with the lesson count under each one.

Set the shape before it generates.

Most outline tools hand you whatever length they feel like. Coursebox asks first. Lessons per module, topics per lesson, whether each lesson ends in a quiz. Change a number, get that shape back.

  • Lessons per module, topics per lesson, quizzes and assignments
  • Pass grades, word counts and references set before the first draft
  • An overview lesson at the front, or none at all
The Coursebox course structure step, with fields for lessons per module, topics per lesson, quizzes and assignments before the outline is generated

Drag it into shape, then build it out.

The outline comes back as a numbered list you can drag. Export it and write the lessons yourself, or let Coursebox draft every one underneath.

  • Drag modules, lessons and topics into the order you want
  • Delete the module you already cover in induction
  • Stop at the outline, or have every lesson written under it

What comes back in the outline.

Every outline comes back with the same parts filled in.

Modules in order

Modules in order

Six on average, more if the subject is big. Named for what they cover, not Module 1 and Module 2.

Lessons and topics

Lessons and topics

Each module opens into its lessons, each lesson into its topics, at the depth you set.

Learning objectives

Learning objectives

Written as something a learner can do afterwards, which is what an auditor asks for first.

Assessment points

Assessment points

A quiz or an assignment where you asked for one, with the pass grade already attached.

An overview lesson

An overview lesson

An opening lesson that frames the course. One toggle if you would rather skip it.

References per lesson

References per lesson

A short reading list under each lesson, so a subject expert can check the source.

What trainers say about the first draft

It's designed to help me build a complete course quickly, which is a huge win for me as I try to move fast or prototype ideas.

Questions about the AI course outline generator.

Yes. The free plan gives you three courses with no credit card, which is enough to outline a course and build the first module out properly. You only pay when you need more courses, more AI generation, or the delivery and branding features.

An outline is the structure of one course: the modules, the lessons inside them and where the assessments sit. A curriculum is the whole programme, several courses deep, with the order people work through them and what each one qualifies them for. Use this page when you are shaping a single course, and the AI curriculum generator when you are mapping a full programme.

Yes. Upload a PDF, a Word file or a PowerPoint deck and Coursebox reads it before it writes anything, so the modules match what is actually in the file. More than a hundred teams started from a file this way in the last 90 days, usually a policy, a handbook or last year's workshop slides.

As big as the subject needs. Coursebox generated almost 29,000 course structures in the last 90 days, from short inductions to full compliance courses. You set the shape before it generates: lessons per module, topics per lesson, and whether each lesson finishes with a quiz or an assignment.

Yes. Export the finished course as SCORM, 1.2 or 2004, to run in Moodle, Canvas or another LMS, or connect it over LTI to the LMS your team already uses. You can also deliver it straight from Coursebox, with its own learner logins and branding, and skip the export entirely. SCORM and LTI are on the paid plans.
