Coming soon: 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.
Applies to: Course creation · Last updated: 12 August 2026
From Monday 17 August, you'll see a new way to create courses in your account, alongside the tools you use now. Your existing courses won't be affected and will keep working exactly as they do today.
This will be a public beta, so it'll be ready to use but will keep improving while you're in it.
<br />Connect Coassemble to your AI assistant
You will be able to connect Coassemble to an AI assistant like Claude and have it create and manage courses directly in your workspace. It will cover more than 50 tools across course creation, editing, publishing and analytics, so it'll be able to do most of what you'd do yourself in the app. Setup will be a single sign-in, managed from your Settings, and you'll be able to disconnect it at any time.
Screens will be made of blocks
Instead of choosing from a fixed list of screen types and fitting your content into whichever one comes closest, you'll build each screen from blocks you can arrange, swap and restyle. Layouts will handle the design work, so spacing and hierarchy will stay consistent however you arrange things.
There will be 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 will be able to sit on any screen.
Build and edit by chatting with the agent
Course creation and editing will happen as a conversation. You'll upload a file (including Word docs, PowerPoint, PDF and SCORM) or start from a written brief, and 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 will stay with you inside the builder to add screens, rework wording, adjust reading level, insert assessments or restructure the course, rather than hunting through menus.
Bring your old SCORM courses in
The new course creation flow will accept SCORM packages as well as documents. You'll upload a package as part of the creation flow and it'll be transformed into a fully editable Coassemble course made of blocks. Articulate Rise and Storyline, Adobe Captivate and iSpring will be supported, and your text, images, galleries, flashcards, process steps, accordions and knowledge checks will carry across. Anything that can't be converted will be listed for you to review, rather than quietly dropped.
Get expert feedback with Course Coach
Course Coach will review a course you've built and give you feedback whenever you want it, covering instructional quality, engagement and accessibility. You'll get specific findings rather than a single score, and each one will link straight to the screen it's about.
:::info Some features, including Course Coach, will not be available on legacy plans. :::
A clearer experience for learners
Courses built with the new builder will have a rebuilt learner view. Related content will group into sections rather than running as one long list of screens, and learners will 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 will be fully localised in eleven languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish. That'll be independent of the course language itself, so you'll be able to plan a Spanish course in English if that's easier for you.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to my existing courses?
Nothing will change. Anything you've already built will stay where it is and keep working exactly as it does today. There won't be a way to move an existing course into the new builder at first, so for the beta you'll build new courses in it.
When will I see it?
The new builder will enter public beta on 17 August. Enterprise (Controlled Release) servers will receive it about two weeks after the standard release.
Is it finished?
It'll be a public beta, so it'll be stable and ready to use, but it will keep improving. If something looks off or you have a suggestion, we'd like to hear it.
