AI Course Authoring
AI Course Authoring That Turns Documents Into SCORM Courses
SimpliAuthor is SimpliTrain’s dedicated AI-powered course authoring application that converts your existing documents, briefs, and inputs into complete, SCORM-compliant course files in minutes. What used to take an instructional designer weeks to build from scratch now takes hours and the output is ready to upload directly into SimpliTrain or any other SCORM-compatible LMS.
Generate Complete Course Structures From Any Input Document
SimpliAuthor takes a document, PDF, brief, or outline as input and uses AI to generate a full course structure including slides, chapters, and quizzes. You provide the source material and the platform builds the framework, so your instructional designers spend their time reviewing and refining rather than building from a blank page.
The output supports multiple content formats including presentation-style slides, video-ready scripts, questionnaires, and PDFs depending on the format requirements of your program. For L&D teams under pressure to produce high volumes of content, this approach compresses a multi-week build cycle into a session measured in hours.
- Document to course conversion
- Multi-format content output
- AI-generated chapter structure
Export SCORM Files Ready for SimpliTrain or Any LMS
Every course exports as a SCORM-compliant file that can be uploaded into SimpliTrain or any other compatible learning management system. The SCORM file is the bridge between content creation and course delivery it packages your slides, videos, assessments, and navigation into one portable file that works across platforms.
For organizations already using SimpliTrain, the workflow is direct: create, export, upload it into SimpliTrain, and launch the course.
- SCORM 1.2 and 2004 export
- Cross-platform compatibility
- Direct SimpliTrain upload workflow
Let Instructional Designers Review Before Any Course Goes Live
While our authoring tool generates the course structure and content, but the instructional designer remains in control of what gets published. AI-generated content is a starting point, not a finished product, your subject matter experts and L&D professionals review, edit, and approve each course before it is exported and uploaded.
This quality layer is what separates a credible AI-authored course from an unreviewed output. SimpliTrain’s ecosystem is built for this workflow: create with AI, refine with expertise, deliver with confidence.
- AI-generated draft output
- Instructional designer review step
- Expert approval before publish
Build Quizzes, Assessments, and Surveys Inside SimpliAuthor
Trainers and Instructors can generate quiz and assessment content as part of the course creation process, not as a separate step. Questions are drafted from the source material automatically and can be edited, reordered, or supplemented by the instructional designer before export.
The final SCORM file includes the assessment embedded within the course, so learners encounter it at the right point in the learning flow without additional configuration in SimpliTrain.
- AI-generated quiz questions
- Embedded course assessment
- Edit before SCORM export
The Ecosystem Advantage: Author, Train, and Assess in One Stack
The SimpliTrain Ecosystem – You author content in SimpliAuthor, deliver it in SimpliTrain, and assess learners in SimpliAssess, three purpose-built tools that share a common architecture and workflow.
A direct integration between these three systems will allow course creation, upload, and assessment to happen without leaving either platform. For organisations evaluating point solutions that require manual handoffs between authoring, LMS, and assessment tools, this ecosystem is the alternative that removes those gaps.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I get started with AI course authoring using SimpliTrain?
You upload your source document or brief, the AI generates a course structure, your instructional designer reviews and edits it, and you export the SCORM file for upload into SimpliTrain or another LMS.
2. What content formats can SimpliAuthor generate for a course?
SimpliAuthor can generate presentation-style slides, video-ready scripts, questionnaires, quizzes, and PDFs as part of the course creation process. The final output is packaged as a SCORM-compliant file that works in SimpliTrain and any other SCORM-compatible learning management system.
3. Does the SCORM output from SimpliAuthor work with other LMS platforms?
Yes, SimpliAuthor exports SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 compliant files that are compatible with any LMS that accepts SCORM content. The output is not locked to SimpliTrain, though the most direct workflow is to upload it into SimpliTrain for delivery.
4. How long does it take to build a 30-minute course using SimpliAuthor?
SimpliAuthor reduces a multi-week manual build cycle to a matter of hours for a standard 30-minute course. The AI generates the structure and content from your source material quickly, and your instructional designer’s time is focused on review and refinement rather than initial construction.
5. Is SimpliAuthor included in the SimpliTrain plan pricing?
SimpliAuthor is a separate application within the SimpliTrain ecosystem. For pricing details specific to SimpliAuthor and how it combines with your SimpliTrain plan, visit simplitrain.com/pricing or speak with the SimpliTrain team during your demo.
6. Can a learner tell the difference between an AI-authored course and a manually built one?
Not if the instructional designer reviews and refines the AI-generated content before publishing. SimpliAuthor generates a draft that your L&D team edits for accuracy, tone, and quality. The final course a learner sees reflects both the speed of AI generation and the judgment of your instructional designers.
7. Is content created in SimpliAuthor stored securely before export?
Content created in SimpliAuthor is stored within the application with access controls scoped to your organisation. Exported SCORM files are handled according to your SimpliTrain data security settings upon upload. Contact the SimpliTrain team for details on data retention and security practices across the ecosystem.
