In EdBuild AI, learning content follows a clear hierarchical structure designed to make organizing and distributing courses simpler. Here is a detailed overview of the different levels.
---
🎓 The learning path
A learning path is an aggregation of several courses.
It lets you distribute a complete set of courses to one or more learners in a single click.
- ✅ Visible to learners
- 📌 Useful for structuring a broader training plan
- 📁 Groups together several courses (reusable)
> 💡 The same learner can take several courses within a single learning path, and filter their content by learning path in their space, on the "My Courses" page.
---
🧠 The course
A course is a self-contained teaching unit.
- 📚 It is made up of one or more chapters
- 🔄 It can be used in several learning paths
- 📄 Every course starts with the import of a source PDF
> Example: a course can correspond to a one-hour training module on a specific subject, such as "Conflict management" or "GDPR basics".
---
🗂️ The chapter
A chapter is generated automatically from an uploaded PDF.
- ✍️ Every course contains at least one chapter
- 🧾 As its input, it always holds the complete course PDF
- 🧠 It is from this document that the teaching topics are extracted
> The chapter acts as a container: it frames all the topics drawn from the same source document.
---
🔍 The topic
A topic is a teaching unit extracted automatically from the PDF by AI.
- 📌 Each topic corresponds to a key concept, idea or rule
- 🧠 Users can:
- Approve the suggested topics
- Edit them
- Or run a new detection, telling our AI tool what did not work
- 🔄 Topics can be reorganized by drag and drop
---
🧩 The activity
Activities are the interactive blocks built into a topic.
They let learners practice, visualize or test their understanding.
> A topic can contain several activities.
Activities available to date:
- ✅ Course video
- ✅ Audio podcast (two-voice conversation or narration)
- ✅ Multiple-choice quiz (questions with several correct answers)
- ✅ Single-choice quiz (question with one correct answer)
- ✅ Fill in the blanks
- ✅ Drag and drop
- ✅ Glossary
- ✅ Flashcards
> 🎁 Other activity types may be added in the future.

🧠 Key takeaways
Each level has its own role:
- The learning path organizes
- The course is a teaching unit within a learning path
- The chapter structures a course's PDF
- The topic targets a key piece of content in the chapter
- The activity engages the learner on a topic
> 💡 Understanding this structure will help you create, adapt and share your learning content in EdBuild AI more effectively.
