JollyDeck’s Doc to Course: Convert documents to e-learning courses using AI
Many companies have a wealth of internal knowledge hidden away in various in-house documents, such as policies, SOPs, compliance guides, training materials, and even informal resources like manager presentations and employee notes.
Despite the effort put into creating these materials, they often end up forgotten in network drives, intranet folders, or buried in email threads. While packed with value, they are usually static, hard to engage with, and difficult to verify for understanding. Over time, they become outdated and underutilised.
However, these documents hold critical insights into how your business operates and contain invaluable internal know-how. Instead of letting them gather digital dust, why not turn them into something engaging and impactful?
While converting these materials manually is possible, it’s time-consuming, resource-intensive, and prone to inconsistencies.
JollyDeck’s AI-powered Doc to Course Converter
The Doc to Course workflow automates the conversion process, transforming multiple documents into a comprehensive and engaging course in just minutes.
Powered by AI, it handles the heavy lifting – analysing sources, extracting graphics, organising information into meaningful content, and designing slides – while keeping the author in control at every critical step. From defining sources, target audience, and learning objectives to approving the outline and making final edits, the author remains actively involved, ensuring the results are both accurate and highly relevant.
How it works
The process of converting documents to courses is straightforward:
STEP 1: Upload source files
Upload the documents you want to convert into e-learning content.
Supported formats: DOC, DOCX, ODT, PDF, PPT, PPTX, ODP, TXT, TEXT.
STEP 2: Set up the course starting points
- Course language: Set the language of the final content and interface. For the best results, choose the same language as your source materials.
- Target audience: The AI analyses your documents and suggests potential groups. Choose one or describe your audience in your own words.
- Learning objectives:
The AI suggests actionable learning objectives based on the source files and target audience. Review them to ensure they align with your goals.
- Course title: Enter your course title or choose from AI suggestions.
- Duration: Set the desired course length.
STEP 3: Work on the outline
The AI Copilot generates an outline based on the source documents and starting points. You’ll receive an email once the outline is ready for review.
The outline defines the course structure, content, images, and interactive elements.
This is your chance to fine-tune the conversion. Review the outline thoroughly, adjust the text and visuals as needed, and approve it.
STEP 4: Finalise the course
- Design customisation: Choose from various colour schemes and header styles for your course.
- Conversion: The AI Copilot converts the outline into a polished JollyDeck course.
- Final tweaks: The course is fully editable. Use JollyDeck Create, our intuitive authoring tool, to make final adjustments.
THE RESULT: A professional, comprehensive, and engaging e-learning course, ready to deploy.
