3 ways to make eLearning design faster with AI

When time is of the essence, you don't want lengthy processes and hard-to-navigate tools slowing you down.

An eLearning authoring tool with intuitive and collaborative features can be a powerful asset for optimizing your time and resources. Using a tool with AI features opens up new avenues for streamlining and scaling your output without compromising quality.

Read on to explore three generative AI features to look for in an authoring tool and how they can save you time.

3 ways to use an AI-enabled authoring tool

Whether you use generative AI as a starting point for content creation or to assist with reviewing and perfecting the final details, an eLearning authoring tool with the following AI-powered add-ons introduces a wealth of efficiencies for designers and contributors.

1) Generating text

Automatic content generation capabilities can speed up your work, helping you generate text-based assets and get your courses over the finish line. Using Gomo's AI-powered add-ons, for example, you can provide a prompt or use the content you've already supplied to generate the following assets:

  • Introductions
  • Conclusions
  • Learning objectives

Incorporating these AI capabilities into your content creation process gives you a complete learning experience in a fraction of the time with the assurance that the finished result covers all the bases and matches the learning objectives.

2) Reviewing content

Even the best content can benefit from a review. Think of AI as an assistant that can check accuracy, spelling, grammar, and consistency, and offer thoughtful suggestions for improvement. This way, you add an extra layer of quality assurance while bringing speed and efficiency to the table.

As the findings from one study show, AI currently promises the greatest productivity gains when used to assist with writing proficiency and analysis. Participants with access to generative AI completed tasks up to 25% more quickly on average and produced work that was 40% higher in quality.

3) Translating assets

Using an authoring tool like Gomo with generative AI capabilities brings the necessary speed and sophistication required to translate individual assets or entire courses into hundreds of languages. As a result, you only need to build the same course once.

However, it's not just about making sure the information on screen remains factually correct once translated. Your content must also capture and convey the appropriate cultural and contextual nuances to create the same high-quality learning experience for a global audience.

When you need an extra level of input from human translators, you'll want a tool that provides this oversight with the same ease of use and first-class results. Gomo's generative AI tools complement human activity with the ability to package up learning content as an XLIFF file ready for a translation agency. You'll get a sharable zip file that can be easily exported and reimported into your authoring tool with just one click.
