AI Course Creation with Vanta, our AI wizard
When using AI, simply describe:
- Your course topic
- Who the course is for
- Desired structure (e.g., number of modules and lessons)
- Note - Vanta AI can help create your course framework, for eg the course title, description, and the modules and lesson titles and descriptions. However, at this time, it cannot be used to generate your course content, for example the videos or text content for your courses.
- When entering your prompt for Vanta AI to create your course framework, the key is to be specific and succinct so that the course title, description, and the module and lesson descriptions are created accurately.
- Here's an example of a good prompt for Vanta AI to generate your course framework:
- "Create an online course about mindset coaching designed for mid-career professionals (ages 30–45) who feel stuck in their careers and want to build confidence, overcome limiting beliefs, and develop a growth mindset to achieve meaningful personal and professional goals. Structure the course into 4 modules with 4 lessons per module."
Vanta AI will automatically generate:
- Course title
- Course description
- Course category
- Course curriculum (modules and lessons)
- Landing page URL
You can edit or regenerate content anytime using AI assistance.
