Build one by hand, generate one with AI, convert a PowerPoint into a SCORM lesson, or start from your own documents to create an Observation Checklist. Then add quizzes and supporting content, set course options, and assign. WHAT YOU CAN DO Start with the option that fits Select Add New Course in the Courses tab to see three starting points: New Course for a blank course, Generate with AI to start from a topic or document, and Checklists from Docs to start from your own documents. You can use all three in the same account. Build a course by hand Choose a regular course or an Observation Checklist course, then add a name, category, image, and instructor. The course code is optional. Leave it blank and eLeaP generates one when you save. Add a description and objectives, and return to these details any time in Course Definitions. Add lessons and use the lesson editor Use Add Lesson for PDFs, Word documents, and other files, from a new file or an existing repository lesson. Turn on the embed option to show a file to trainees in the browser, then activate and save the lesson. The lesson editor adds text formatting, tables, images, hyperlinks, video, audio, iframes, Word import, an AI assistant, and preview. Convert PowerPoint to SCORM Select Convert PowerPoint from the Add SCORM Lesson menu, choose your presentation, and eLeaP creates the SCORM lesson for you. Trainees see each slide as a numbered page in the lesson player. The same menu lets you upload an existing SCORM package. Generate a course with AI Describe your course or upload a document such as an SOP, manual, or policy. Answer a few questions, review the course plan, and choose which of the written lessons to add. Fine-tune any lesson in the visual editor. For every step, see the Generate a Course with AI tutorial https://www.eleapsoftware.com/tutorial/ai-course-generator/ . Create Observation Checklists from your documents Upload Word, PDF, or Excel documents and AI drafts the statements for each one. You review everything first, and nothing is created until you select Create Courses. For the full walkthrough, see the Create Checklist Course with AI tutorial https://www.eleapsoftware.com/tutorial/checklists-from-docs/ . Add quizzes and supporting content Add quizzes with AI prompting, import a list of questions, or reuse questions from other courses. Add Glossaries, FAQs, Resources, and a certificate of completion, then use Settings for deadlines, auto reassignment, e-signature requirements, and other course options. Assign courses and/or use them in Skills Levels Assign courses to users or groups, or link them to a learning path. In level mode, a course or Observation Checklist assessment can be a requirement for a skill level, and trainees earn the level when the requirements and required signatures are complete. See the Skills Levels tutorial https://www.eleapsoftware.com/tutorial/skills-levels/ . VIDEO TUTORIAL TRANSCRIPT (00:00) Hello and welcome to eLeaP. In this tutorial, we are looking at how to create courses in the eLeaP system. There are several ways to build a course, and you can combine them. You can build one by hand, generate one with AI, convert a PowerPoint into a SCORM lesson, or start from your own documents to create an Observation Checklist. Let’s walk through each one. (00:22) Everything starts in the Courses tab. Click Add New Course, and you will see three options. New Course starts from a blank course. Generate with AI starts with a topic or document, and Checklists from Docs starts with your own documents. Let’s begin with a new course. (00:40) Select New Course. Choose a regular course or an Observation Checklist course for in-person assessments. Enter the name of your course, select a category, add an image if you want, and assign an instructor. The course code is optional. Leave it blank, and eLeaP generates one when you save. Then add a description and objectives and go to Save. You can always come back to this section in Course Definitions. (01:06) Now let’s go to Lessons, where you add your content. Use Add Lesson for PDFs, Word documents, and other files. For PowerPoint presentations, use the Convert PowerPoint feature, which we will cover in a moment. You can add from a new file or from an existing repository lesson. I’ll call this SOP Import and find my PDF. To show it to trainees in the browser, toggle the Embed option on, then activate the lesson and save it. Those two steps are pretty important. (01:35) The lesson editor also gives you a full set of tools. You can format text, add tables, images, and hyperlinks, upload video or audio, embed a video, or add an iframe. You can import a Word document, use the built-in AI assistant, and preview your lesson before you save. (01:54) If you already have SCORM content, click the arrow beside the Add SCORM Lesson button. Upload ZIP File lets you upload a SCORM package directly. Convert PowerPoint turns a presentation into a SCORM lesson. Select Convert PowerPoint, choose your presentation file, and click Open. A spinning indicator shows while eLeaP converts it, and your SCORM lesson is created automatically. As with any lesson, activate it when you are ready for trainees. Each slide appears as a numbered page in the lesson player with Previous and Next buttons, a progress bar, and a Transcript button. (02:29) Here is a sample course with some of these elements built in: a video from YouTube, a video uploaded directly, a PDF, a SCORM lesson, and an embed from Canva. So you can really provide additional course formats. (02:47) Now for the fastest way to build a full course. Select Add New Course, then Generate with AI. Describe the course in your own words or upload a document such as an SOP, manual, or policy. Choose how you want it structured, answer a few questions, and review the course plan. eLeaP then writes the lessons with knowledge checks and a graded quiz, and you decide which lessons to add to your course. You can fine-tune any generated lesson in the visual editor. We cover every step in our dedicated Generate a Course with AI tutorial, so be sure to watch it in our tutorial library. (03:20) If you run in-person assessments, you can start from the documents you already have. Select Add New Course, then Checklists from Docs, and upload your Word, PDF, or Excel documents. AI reads each one and drafts the statements. You review everything, and then each document becomes an Observation Checklist course. Nothing is created until you select Create Courses. For the full walkthrough, watch our Create Checklist Course with AI tutorial. (03:49) The Quiz area lets you add quizzes from AI prompting, import a list of questions, or reuse questions from other courses. On the left, you have tabs like Glossaries, FAQs, and Resources to add value for your trainees, and you can add a certificate of completion. (04:08) In the Settings area, you can activate the deadline, auto reassignment, e-signature requirements, and other configuration options for the course. (04:18) The last step is to assign. You can assign to users, to groups, or link your courses to a learning path, which is a container of courses that you can then release or assign. (04:30) Courses can also power our Skills Levels feature. In level mode, you can make a course or an Observation Checklist assessment a requirement for a skill level. When a trainee completes the requirements and the required signatures are in, they earn the level, and the next level’s courses can be assigned automatically. To see how it all works, watch our Skills Levels tutorial. (04:52) That is a quick overview of how courses can be created in the system. As usual, if you have any questions about this or any other features in the system, please do not hesitate to contact us.
