Evolve Course Generation: Creating a Course with AI
The Evolve platform can independently build a turnkey course based on your materials, as well as automatically generate the structure, lesson content, assignments, and voiceovers. There are two generation methods:
Smart generation — a fast format with short lessons, easy to configure and supplement on the fly.
Advanced generation — for more extensive and detailed courses based on large volumes of materials.
Once generation is complete, a course created using either of these methods (as well as manually assembled or imported ones) can be refined using the same AI tools — generating introductions and conclusions, voiceovers, additional assignments, etc. Read more about this in the "Refining a Completed Course" section below.
Part 1. Smart Generation
Step 1. Log in as an administrator, open "Courses" in the left menu → click "Create Course" → select the "Evolve Course Generation" option.
Step 2. Fill out the course application form:
Course name, target audience (who it is intended for — role/profession), audience level (new or current employees), course goals — what employees should know/be able to do after completion.
Material source. There are two options to choose from:
upload files (up to 2 files in PDF, DOC/DOCX, or XLS/XLSX formats) or
provide a link to a website/article — the system will study the material from the link and build a course based on it. There is no need to prepare files in advance: just insert the link and briefly describe the topic — this is particularly convenient when you need to quickly assemble a course from scratch.
Course language and desired palette (the color scheme in which the materials will be generated)
⚠️ Each palette option consists of five elements: three colors and two style parameters. Currently, the palette is used to generate infographics (diagrams) within lessons — the system uses the specified colors when automatically creating visual diagrams based on the course material.
In future platform updates, the palette will also be applied to lesson headers, course covers, and videos.
Colors are also available for selection in the "Account Settings" section. For more details on how they are used, please read the article "Company Account Setup".
Desired duration of the theoretical part of the course.
Tone of voice (for voiceovers)
Target audience — who the course is intended for
Desired structure
Step 3. Click "Create Course Details".
Next, the analysis of the attached materials (documents or links) and the generation of the structure in accordance with the specified parameters will begin.
Step 4. Once the course structure generation is complete, you can review it, edit it (for example, rearrange chapters or delete unnecessary ones), and confirm it.
Step 5. After confirming the structure, the generation of the course itself will begin. You can observe this in real time. This is the unique feature of this method.
Part 2. Refining a Completed Course
Once the structure and content of the course are fully generated, additional tools become available — regardless of how the course was created (Smart generation, Advanced generation, or manual assembly).
Introduction and Conclusion
The introduction and conclusion generation buttons become active only after all chapters and lessons of the course are completely ready — the system uses the existing content to assemble a coherent introduction and summary. They are created in one click; by default, a course feedback question is added to the conclusion, and an introductory task/question is added to the introduction.
To add an introduction and conclusion, simply click the corresponding button at the very beginning of the newly generated course.
Once you launch the introduction and conclusion generation, you will see a corresponding warning dialog box:
As soon as the introduction and conclusion generation is complete, you will immediately see the corresponding sections in the course structure.
"Quote" Block
Two versions of the quote block are available in the lesson editor. To add them, open the "All Blocks" panel at the bottom of the screen → "Text Block" section.
Quote — a block with a single text field. The text is displayed with decorative quotation marks on the left. It is used to highlight key ideas or important formulations from the lesson material.
Quote with Author — an extended version: in addition to the quote text, it contains fields for the author's name, position, and photo. Suitable for quoting real people — experts, managers, well-known specialists in the subject.
Both blocks can be added via "All Blocks" → "Text Block" → "Quote" or "Quote with Author", or by using the "+" button that appears between blocks on hover.
Course Voiceover
This is one of the most highly anticipated new features. Voiceover can be generated:
for the entire course at once — launching from the table of contents starts generation for all lessons simultaneously;
for an individual lesson — launching from within a specific lesson generates voiceover only for that lesson.
How to configure:
Open the course and proceed to the voiceover settings — via the table of contents (for the entire course) or inside a specific lesson (for a single lesson).
Choose a voice — male or female. The system suggests voices corresponding to the course language (for example, for a Russian-language course — the voice "Irina"), but you can choose any other available voice.
Save the settings or launch the generation immediately.
If changes are made to a specific lesson over time, the voiceover for that particular lesson can be updated. To do this:
delete the current voiceover
after that, find the "add element" button in the top right corner –> Audio
in the window that appears, make the necessary changes and launch the audio generation again by clicking the "Create voiceover" button
⚠️ Voiceover generation will run automatically, and there is no need to stay on the same page. However, if any changes were made inside the lesson, don't forget to save them before leaving the editor.
Knowledge Assessment
In addition to generating the introduction and conclusion, and the course voiceover, a knowledge assessment feature is also available. To generate assessment tasks, click the "Knowledge Assessment" button in the same area where the "Introduction and Conclusion" and "Voiceover" buttons are located.
In the window that opens, you can select one or more of your preferred options:
Single-choice test
Scenario-based single-choice test
Multiple-choice test
True/False
Open-ended question
Scenario-based open-ended task
After completion, they will appear in the course chapters. You can go into the settings of each task and verify them. For more details on testing and assessing completed material, please read our guide "Testing, Surveys, and Assessing Acquired Knowledge on the Evolve Platform".
Course Cover
Currently, courses are created without a cover, and they can only be uploaded manually. In upcoming updates, the ability to generate a course cover using AI will be introduced (the feature is already in development).
Currently, to add a cover to a course, go to the "Settings" section in the top right corner.
To upload a course cover image, click the "Upload new cover" button.
Course Visibility Settings and Passing Score
In the "Course Settings" section, you can also specify the completion deadline (individual, fixed, or open-ended), as well as the unit of measurement for the overall course result (percentages or points). In this same section, you can choose the course visibility (by invitation, by link, or to all users).
