Fill a lesson: copy the prompt, paste the answer

Every lesson follows the same two-step round trip with your AI chat: copy a prompt out, paste an answer back in.

Before you start

Give the lesson a real title and a short description first - LMSable warns you if either is missing, because the generated prompt would otherwise be too generic.

Steps

  1. On the Lessons step, click Edit next to the lesson.
  2. Interaction, quiz or test lesson: pick a material type first, or keep the Suggested format - see Choose the right interaction type.
  3. Click Copy prompt.
    Lesson editor for the interaction lesson Spotting hazards at your desk: the lesson description, Suggested format Decision simulation with a Change format button, and Step 1 of 2 with the lesson prompt and the Copy prompt button highlighted
    An interaction lesson with a suggested format: the prompt is ready to copy.
  4. Paste the prompt into your AI chat and run it.
  5. Copy the whole answer the chat returned.
  6. Paste it into Paste the AI response and click Save. If your chat only offers a download (ChatGPT Canvas saves an .html file instead of showing the code), download the file and click Upload the .html file under the field - the result is the same.

A plain text lesson opens the block editor directly, with no lesson prompt. Write the text yourself, or use Smart split with AI on a text block.

What you should see

The lesson is marked Ready in the list. Check it with Preview course, or Save and preview in the editor.

Fill next empty lesson

While some lessons are still empty, the progress row at the top of the Lessons step shows a Fill next empty lesson button. It opens the first empty lesson in the order of your list, from the top down, in the editor that fits its type.

After you save a lesson, a bar confirms it, for example "Saved. 4 lessons still empty.", with a Next empty lesson button. That button opens the next empty lesson below the one you just saved; after the last one it starts again from the top of the list. When nothing is left, the bar reads "All lessons have content." and offers Go to export.

A lesson counts as empty when it has no content yet. A video lesson is empty until it has a video link, and a slide until it has its image from your PDF or its content from your AI chat.

If something goes wrong

  • The lesson already has content and you want to redo it: on an interaction lesson, click Build it again to restart the prompt-and-paste flow with a new material type, or Preview to check what is already there first.
  • Save is greyed out: paste the full answer from your AI chat into the response box - an empty box cannot be saved.
  • The pasted content looks wrong or incomplete in the preview: rerun the prompt in your AI chat, this time keeping the title and description filled in so the instructions are specific.
