More About the Project
Multi-agent system that automatically generates complete, didactically structured e-learning courses from documents and general knowledge — winner of the eLearning Award 2025 in the AI category.
Issue
Creating high-quality e-learning courses at an EdTech company took weeks to months — from research and structuring to defining learning objectives and filling in content. Standard AI generation produced incoherent content with too many hallucinations.
Solution
Development of a multi-agent system that automatically generates complete, didactically structured e-learning courses from documents and general knowledge. Each agent handles a specialization: outline, learning objectives, narrative, didactic content. Human-in-the-loop cycles ensure quality at critical checkpoints.
