Abstract

Generating online courses is always a trade-off between possibilities, technical limitations, and quality. State-of-the-art generative models can assist teachers in the creation process. However, generating learning materials is highly complex. Hence, teachers mainly create them manually. In this paper, learning content for a concrete micro-learning template is generated focusing on the field of language teaching. It intends that learners can find correct responses by logical thinking. Teachers provide a topic as input. Then, the approach asks for the required information using GPT3.5 with instructional prompts and combines responses to form a language learning unit. The quality of the resulting learning content, focusing on correctness, and appropriateness, is evaluated and discussed to examine the practicability of the tool, and alternatives are given.
