Curate a Course

A course contains a series of topics that are like ordered lessons (or sections). A course can be equivalent to a university course, a skill, or a even a book. In addition, a course can also have its own assessments.

Note: We highly recommend to check our example tutorial in order to get a general insight about eDoer, before start reading this page.

Create a Course

Locate the “+” icon situated at the bottom right of the application, simply click on it. Upon doing so, you will encounter an option labeled “New Course”. To successfully add a course, provide the necessary details such as the course title, choose the language, and specify any relevant organization affiliation (optional). Once these parameters are configured, proceed to click the “Add course” button.

For a visual walkthrough of this process, check the accompanying video. Additionally, in subsequent sections of this tutorial, we will explore how to edit the courses you have created.

Note: We strongly advise selecting a descriptive title for your course that effectively encapsulates the material taught within it. This practice not only enhances topic recommendations but also makes it easier for others to discover your course through search functionality.

Topics

Topics serve as the fundamental building blocks of the course, and for a detailed definition, refer to concept guideline. Emphasizing the significance of the course title, it plays a crucial role in maximizing the effectiveness of our AI tools. The importance lies in the fact that our AI tools rely on the course title to generate topic recommendations. Therefore, an informative course title is essential for maintaining high-quality recommendations; a less informative title may adversely impact the recommendation accuracy. The upcoming sections will guide you through the process of adding topics using various tools available in our system.

Add a new topic

Begin by navigating to the “Topics” section in the tab bar. Next, click on the “+” icon, and then select one of the following options:

    • Manually, add a new topic 
    • Add an existing topic
    • Utilize AI tools to generate a new topic

Additionally, the following three videos demonstrate the different methods of accomplishing this task (refer to the example tutorial for more information). 

It is worth mentioning that curators can only add an existing topic to the course if they are the owner of the topic.

Assessments

You have the option to generate assessments for learners through our automated tools, utilizing LLM technology to craft questions based on your topic titles.

It’s important to note that the resources associated with the topics are not considered in the assessment generation process. Alternatively, for a more tailored approach, you can manually add your assessments.
