Prompts Guide — Course Creator AI
This guide is for teachers and admins who want better results when using Course Creator AI.
Course Creator AI is typically used for two things:
- Create a full course
- Create a single Moodle activity/resource
Quick rules (higher quality outputs)
Include:
- Goal (what learners will be able to do)
- Audience (level, age/role)
- Language
- Exact structure (number of sections/items) when you care about consistency
- Allowed Moodle types (to avoid unexpected activity types)
- No external links (if your institution requires everything inside Moodle)
Tip:
- If you want a survey without grading, say it explicitly (“survey, no grade, no correct answers”).
A) Create a full course
Template (copy/paste)
Create a Moodle course about "{topic}".
Language: {language}.
Audience: {level}.
Goal: {goal}.
Exact structure:
- Sections: {N}.
- Items per section: {M}.
- Allowed Moodle types: {list}.
- Per-section distribution: {example distribution}.
Rules:
- No external links.
- For each item include: title + short description + what the learner will do.
Assessment (if applicable):
- Quizzes/H5P: {X} questions with a mix of types + brief feedback.
Example (conservative)
Create a Moodle course about "Cybersecurity for non-technical people".
Language: Spanish.
Audience: beginners.
Goal: help learners identify phishing, improve password habits, and know what to do after a suspicious incident.
Exact structure:
- Sections: 5.
- Items per section: 3.
- Allowed Moodle types: Page, Book, Quiz.
- Per-section distribution: 1 Page + 1 Book + 1 Quiz.
Rules:
- No external links.
- Each Page: simple intro + warning signs + "actions for today".
- Each Book: 3–4 short chapters + short summary.
- Each Quiz: 10 questions (7 multiple choice, 2 true/false, 1 open) + brief feedback.
Example (more complete, still conservative)
Create a Moodle course about "Cybersecurity for non-technical people (real life)".
Language: Spanish.
Audience: adult learners, beginner level.
Tone: clear, direct, practical.
Exact structure:
- Sections: 5.
- Sections 1, 2, 4, 5: 3 items (Page + Book + Quiz).
- Section 3 (Practical workshop): 4 items (Page + H5P (Question Set) + Forum + Glossary).
Rules:
- No external links.
- H5P (Question Set): 12 scenario-based questions ("what would you do if...") with brief feedback.
- Forum: welcome message + 3 guiding questions + simple participation expectations.
- Glossary: at least 12 key terms with simple definitions and 1 short example.
If anything is missing to make a good plan (e.g., duration or difficulty), ask me instead of guessing.
B) Create a single Moodle activity/resource
Template (copy/paste)
Create a Moodle {type} about "{topic}".
Language: {language}.
Audience: {level}.
Goal: {goal}.
Constraints:
- Must fit in {time}.
- Include exactly {X} items/questions.
- No external links.
Quality:
- Clear instructions.
- Brief feedback where relevant.
Example (conservative)
Create a Moodle Quiz about "phishing".
Language: Spanish.
Audience: beginners.
Goal: help learners recognize common phishing patterns.
Constraints:
- Include exactly 8 questions.
- Mix: multiple choice + true/false.
- No external links.
- Add brief feedback after each question.
Example (more complete, still conservative)
Create an H5P (Question Set) about "passwords and 2FA".
Language: Spanish.
Audience: beginners.
Goal: practice safe decisions in real scenarios.
Constraints:
- Include exactly 12 questions.
- Use scenario-based prompts (messages, login alerts, recovery emails).
- Mix: multiple choice, true/false, and 2 short open questions.
- No external links.
Quality:
- Instructions at the start.
- Brief feedback that explains why an option is safer.
