Key takeaways
- Give AI your expertise, topic, and ideal client avatar (pain points and desired transformations) to generate an initial course outline with suggested lessons or modules.
- Ask AI to simplify complex topics in your outline into easier-to-understand explanations, and to add real-life examples or case studies to increase the course's value.
- Use AI's writing capabilities to rapidly create supplemental materials like worksheets, checklists, and quizzes to round out your course.
How can AI speed up online course creation?
AI can accelerate online course creation in three main ways: generating an initial course outline from your expertise and target audience, simplifying complex topics into clearer explanations with real-life examples, and rapidly producing supplemental materials like worksheets, checklists, and quizzes.
How do you use AI to build a course outline?
Give AI your area of expertise, your topic, and a demographic profile of your ideal client avatar — including their pain points, the problems they want solved, and the transformations they’re seeking from your course. Ask AI to take that information and generate a course outline, including suggested lessons or modules.
- Define your expertise and course topic.
- Describe your ideal client avatar: pain points, problems to solve, and desired transformation.
- Ask AI to generate a course outline with suggested lessons or modules based on that information.
How can AI simplify complex course content?
Once you have an outline, AI can take complex topics and turn them into easier-to-understand explanations. It can also suggest real-life examples or case studies to add to your lessons. According to the video, using real-life examples and experiences is something learners find valuable when applying course content, making this a useful step for increasing a course’s perceived value.
How can AI help create supplemental course materials?
AI’s writing capabilities can be used to rapidly create additional course materials beyond the core lessons. Ask AI to come up with ideas for worksheets, checklists, and quizzes so the finished course includes a robust set of supplemental materials alongside the main content.

Developing all the materials and content for a full online course can be daunting, which is one of the things that stops most online course creators to begin with. But you can use AI to dramatically accelerate your online course creation.
My name is Kelly Tenny. I am the director of wisdom at Gen AI University, and I want to share three tips on how you can leverage AI with your online course creation.
First, AI can be used to generate your initial draft of your course outline. Simply give AI your expertise, your topic, and a demographic of your ideal client avatar, including pain points, problems that your avatar wants solved, and potential transformations that they’re looking to get out of your course. Then you can ask AI to take that information and come up with a course outline and even suggest lessons or modules that should be a part of your course.
Next, you can have AI simplify that course outline and take complex topics, make them into easier-to-understand explanations, and even provide examples or real-life case studies that will only heighten the value of your course. Using things like real-life examples, case studies, and experiences are something that a lot of your users are going to find valuable when it comes to learning how to apply your content, and AI can be a perfect tool for that.
Lastly, you can leverage AI’s writing capabilities to rapidly create additional course materials. Ask it to come up with ideas for worksheets, checklists, and even quizzes so that you have a robust online course with a lot of supplemental materials.
Leveraging AI to accelerate that course creation is something that’s crucial and can really take a lot of the stress and overwhelm out of online course creation. Be sure to subscribe to Gen AI University for more AI tools, tips, and tricks.
