Today’s a big day for our Training Spark business – we launch our brand new AI eLearning Powerpack plugin for WordPress.

We’ve been working with many of our Candle Digital clients to help them integrate generative AI to enhance their online learning products, and now anyone with a WordPress-based LMS (e.g. LearnDash, LifterLMS, Tutor LMS) can now add these capabilities to their courses too.

It uses Open AI (think ChatGPT) as the LLM, all you need is an Open AI account and 15 minutes to set up the plugin. Then you can start using gen AI in your online learning in three ways:

• AI-Powered Conversations

Course creators can create powerful role-play scenarios such as virtual job interviews and business pitches, using AI-generated avatars which you control.

Your learners can practice and hone their skills in a virtual environment, before they unleash them on the world. Learners will also receive detailed feedback – aligned with conversational objectives – to help them understand how well they’ve done and where they can continue to improve.

• AI-Enhanced Reflections

This feature prompts learners with intelligent suggestions based on their progress to kickstart their thinking and personalize their learning experience.

This tool is excellent for anyone looking to enhance student engagement and foster an environment of active, reflective learning.

• AI Virtual Tutors

Using your own content, you can create an AI version of yourself that ensures the responses and specific, relevant and in line with the key themes of your course. No more generic AI responses.

This has involved several months of experimentation, building and testing, so we’re really excited to see all the different use cases that are naturally going to evolve from this.

It’s early days for the plugin (and for gen AI in online learning more generally) but hopefully this removes many of the technical headaches involved in setting this up and will unleash a new breed of online learning experiences!
