AI course creation alters source text too much
Hi ChrisWilliams-f,
Thanks for sharing more about how your team builds courses.
I can see why preserving finalized storyboard content while speeding up course assembly is important to your workflow. It also sounds like having to split approved storyboards into multiple files adds unnecessary work for your developers.
I'd be interested to hear a little more about your storyboards. Approximately how many lessons does a typical storyboard contain before you split it into separate files? Also, if Magic Lesson Importer could process an entire storyboard, how would you expect it to determine where one lesson ends and the next begins?
Understanding more about your process and how your storyboards are organized helps us better understand how a capability like this could support teams like yours.
EricSantos​ A typical storyboard could contain anywhere between 2-55 lessons, depending on the size of the course. We have successfully built agents to parse a storyboard and create separate files when it sees H1 style. If the Magic Importer could leverage that same logic to know when to create a new Lesson, that would be helpful.
Thanks, ChrisWilliams-f! That's really helpful context.
Knowing that your storyboards can range from just a couple of lessons to more than 50, and that your team is already using Heading 1 styles to programmatically split them, paints a much clearer picture of your workflow. I also appreciate you sharing how you'd expect Magic Lesson Import to determine lesson boundaries.
Thanks for sharing those details. They help our product team better understand what an ideal import experience would look like for your team.
Thanks for the recap EricSantos​. To confirm, I wouldn't expect Magic Lesson Import to determine lesson boundaries. I would expect that to come from an Instructional Designer or other learning science expert. While I'm fairly certain of your answer, what's the possibility of getting this added to the Magic Lesson import Beta?
Thanks for clarifying that, ChrisWilliams-f​. That's an important distinction.
I understand that you're not expecting AI to determine the lesson structure. Instead, your instructional designers have already done that work, and you'd like Magic Lesson Import to recognize those predefined lesson boundaries, such as Heading 1 styles, when creating the course.
I don't have any updates to share about adding this capability to the beta today, but I really appreciate you taking the time to explain how you'd expect it to work. That additional context helps our product team better understand the experience you're looking for.
