How to create a lesson from a video using AI

Upload a video, choose the module and homework options, then monitor and review the generated lesson.

The video workflow transcribes a supported file and creates an editable lesson. The source video remains the authority: correct transcription and generated claims before publishing.

Step 1. Open the course

Click Courses and open the course that should receive the lesson.

Step 5. Configure generation

Upload one supported video file. Confirm the module. Enable Generate homework only when you want AI to create an exercise set immediately; choose the displayed volume to control its size. The controls lock after submission until processing finishes, so check the file and module first.
