Our new course builder experience
The new course builder (public beta from 17 August)
What will change when the new course builder enters public beta on 17 August, and what you'll be able to do with it.
The new course builder is live in public beta, so you'll now see a new way to create courses in your account alongside the tools you use today. Your existing courses aren't affected and keep working exactly as they do now. Public beta means it's stable and ready to use, and it keeps improving while you're in it.
<br />Connect Coassemble to your AI assistant
You can connect Coassemble to an AI assistant like Claude and have it create and manage courses directly in your workspace. It covers more than 50 tools across course creation, editing, publishing and analytics, so it can do most of what you'd do yourself in the app. Setup is a single sign-in, managed from your Settings, and you can disconnect it at any time.
Screens are made of blocks
Instead of choosing from a fixed list of screen types and fitting your content into whichever one comes closest, you build each screen from blocks you can arrange, swap and restyle. Layouts handle the design work, so spacing and hierarchy stay consistent however you arrange things.
There are three kinds of block:
- Content blocks: headings, text, images, video, audio, tables, buttons and embedded documents.
- Interactive blocks: accordions, checklists, process steps, flashcards and slideshows.
- Assessment blocks: multiple choice, true/false, dropdown, matching and scored quizzes.
Any block can sit on any screen.
Build and edit by chatting with the agent
Course creation and editing happen as a conversation. You upload a file (including Word docs, PowerPoint, PDF and SCORM) or start from a written brief, then choose how closely the result follows your source:
- Verbatim: keeps your wording as written, good for policies, compliance and procedures.
- Structured: reorganises your material into a clear learning flow.
- Adaptive: rewrites and expands it into a fuller course.
The agent stays with you inside the builder to add screens, rework wording, adjust reading level, insert assessments or restructure the course, so you're not hunting through menus.
Bring your old SCORM courses in
The new course creation flow accepts SCORM packages as well as documents. You upload a package as part of the creation flow and it's transformed into a fully editable Coassemble course made of blocks. Articulate Rise and Storyline, Adobe Captivate and iSpring are supported, and your text, images, galleries, flashcards, process steps, accordions and knowledge checks carry across. Anything that can't be converted is listed for you to review, rather than quietly dropped.
Get expert feedback with Course Coach
Course Coach reviews a course you've built and gives you feedback whenever you want it, covering instructional quality, engagement and accessibility. You get specific findings rather than a single score, and each one links straight to the screen it's about.
:::info Some features, including Course Coach, are not available on legacy plans. :::
A clearer experience for learners
Courses built with the new builder have a rebuilt learner view. Related content groups into sections rather than running as one long list of screens, and learners see the full course outline in a sidebar, including what they've completed, so they can jump straight to the section they need.
Author in your language
The builder is fully localised in eleven languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish. That's independent of the course language itself, so you can plan a Spanish course in English if that's easier for you.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to my existing courses?
Nothing changes. Anything you've already built stays where it is and keeps working exactly as it does now. Moving an existing course into the new builder isn't supported during the beta, so you'll use it to build new courses.
When will I see it?
It's available now. Enterprise (Controlled Release) servers receive it about two weeks after the standard release.
Is it finished?
It's a public beta, so it's stable and ready to use, but it keeps improving. If something looks off or you have a suggestion, we'd like to hear it.
