SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Course creators often struggle to structure their ideas into a coherent course. This Skill replaces blank-page anxiety with a guided, conversational interview that turns teaching goals, learner knowledge, and raw materials into a complete open edX course design ready for generation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided 5-Phase Flow: Walks creators through learner empathy mapping, zero-to-hero transformation, material collection, assessment design, and final course generation. - Learner Persona Building: Conducts at least 7 conversational exchanges to synthesize a vivid learner persona covering background, motivations, struggles, and learning style. - Material & Assessment Planning: Collects links and uploaded files (PDF, DOCX, PPTX) as course materials and designs assessment plans using formats like multiple choice, short answer, and scenario-based questions. - Use Case: An instructor wants to build a data literacy course in open edX Studio. The chatbot interviews them about their learners, defines the before/after transformation, gathers their slides and videos, designs quizzes, and hands off a confirmed design for automatic course generation as draft Studio content. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to help you create a course and answer its questions about your learners one at a time.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an open edX course with a chatbot?

Start a conversation describing the course you want to build. The chatbot interviews you one question at a time across five phases: learner empathy mapping, zero-to-hero transformation, material collection, assessment design, and final generation into your Studio outline as draft content.

What is a zero-to-hero transformation in course design?

It is the before-and-after arc of your learner: the Zero state describes where they feel stuck or underprepared, and the Hero state describes what they can confidently do after the course. The chatbot helps you define both states plus 2-3 milestone moments between them.

What file formats can I upload as course materials?

You can upload PDF, DOCX, and PPTX files through the side panel, or add links to Google Docs, Slides, YouTube, Vimeo, Loom, and other public URLs. The chatbot catalogs each material by topic, depth, and format for the course outline.

Does the chatbot write the course content directly in chat?

No. Once your persona, transformation, materials, and assessment plan are confirmed, a separate builder generates the full course structure with lessons and assessments directly into your open edX Studio outline as draft content you can review and edit.

What assessment types can I design for my course?

Supported formats include multiple choice, true/false, short answer, scenario-based questions, and numerical problems. The chatbot discusses each format individually and asks for example questions before confirming the full assessment plan.
