AI for Teachers
The LearnHouse AI assistant helps teachers create and manage course content more efficiently.
Content Creation Assistance
Teachers can use the AI to accelerate the course-building process:
- Draft generation: Generate initial drafts for activity content based on a topic or outline.
- Content improvement: Refine existing content for clarity, tone, or completeness.
- Quiz creation: Generate quiz questions based on the course material.
Audio & podcast generation
From an activity’s Audio block, the Generate tab turns text into narrated audio using Google Gemini text-to-speech. Three modes are available:
- Text to speech: narrate text you write, in a voice of your choice.
- Podcast (2 voices): enter a topic (or paste source material) and the AI writes a two-host discussion, which you can review and edit before generating the audio.
- Speak: enter a subject and the AI writes a detailed single-speaker talk, then narrates it.
For the Podcast and Speak modes you can pick a length (from 2 minutes), a language, and a tone/style. The generated script is fully editable before you produce the audio, and the audio is saved to the activity like any uploaded file.
Audio generation uses AI credits: 1 credit to write a script and 3 credits to generate the narration.
AI credits
AI features are metered by per-organization AI credits. Free organizations start with 20 credits so you can try the AI features, including audio generation, before upgrading. When credits run low, the app prompts you to upgrade for a larger monthly allowance.
Course Management
Beyond content creation, the AI can assist with organizing and structuring courses:
- Suggest how to break a topic into chapters and activities.
- Identify gaps in course coverage.
- Recommend improvements based on the existing content structure.
Getting Started
The AI assistant is available from the course editor interface. Make sure your instance has a Google Gemini API key configured via LEARNHOUSE_GEMINI_API_KEY (see AI Setup) and that AI is enabled for your organization.
