LMS Course Generator

The OpenEduCat AI LMS Course Generator (openeducat_ai_lms) provides an end-to-end AI-powered course authoring studio. It enables educators and instructional designers to generate comprehensive, multi-module e-Learning courses from a single topic prompt—complete with rich-text lessons, interactive quizzes, discussion questions, and direct publishing to OpenEduCat LMS.

Key Features

  • Intelligent Course Outline Generation: Instantly build structured course syllabi with auto-generated course codes, descriptions, modules, and lesson breakdowns based on topic and difficulty level (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced).

  • Automated Rich-Text Lesson Creation: Generate in-depth lesson articles formatted in styled HTML with headings, code blocks, bullet points, and estimated completion times.

  • Interactive Quiz Generation: Automatically produce graded quizzes for each lesson, complete with multiple-choice questions, options, and duration estimates.

  • Related Questions & FAQs: Generate supplementary discussion questions and FAQs to reinforce learning objectives.

  • Embedded AI Chat Copilot: An interactive in-lesson chat assistant allowing instructors to expand on topics, ask questions, or refine content on the fly.

  • Course Structure Management: Reorder, rename, add, or remove modules and lessons with live generation progress tracking.

  • One-Click LMS Publishing: Directly export generated courses, modules, articles, and quizzes into native OpenEduCat LMS (op.course, op.course.module, and op.quiz).

JSON Schemas & Agent Library

The LMS AI Agent leverages structured JSON schemas to ensure reliable content output:

  • Course Structure Schema (schema_course): Validates course codes, topics, descriptions, module titles, and nested lesson arrays.

  • Lesson Content Schema (schema_lesson_content): Validates markdown lesson bodies, reading duration estimates, quiz structures, and related question sets.
