How to Build an Automated Course Creation Agent

Course Creation: 2-Agent Educational Workflow

Transform any topic into a complete educational course automatically. This system creates professional-grade courses with structured modules, comprehensive lessons, practical exercises, and assessment materials - all organized in Notion for easy delivery and management.

🔍 Agent 1: Topic research → Course structure creation → Content planning notes → Research documentation

📚 Agent 2: Research consumption → Content creation → Materials development → Course completion

TLDR: Build a fully automated course creation system with 2 connected agents.
Agent 1 researches any topic thoroughly and creates a course structure
in Notion with detailed content notes for each section.
Agent 2 reads the research and systematically fills every page with
professional educational materials, exercises, and assessments.
The result is a comprehensive, ready-to-teach course

Optimal Course Structure Design

Before diving into the agents, here's the proven course structure that Agent 1 will create for maximum learning effectiveness:

📋 Course Overview Pages:

  • Course Introduction - Welcome, objectives, prerequisites, time commitment

  • Learning Path - Visual course roadmap and module progression

  • Resources Hub - Tools, software, reading lists, external links

  • Research - All source material and latest industry information

🎯 Module Structure (4-6 modules recommended):

  • Module Overview - Goals, what students will learn, estimated time

  • Lesson 1-4 - Core concepts with examples, case studies, step-by-step tutorials

  • Practical Exercise - Hands-on activity to apply knowledge

  • Knowledge Check - Quiz or assessment to verify understanding

  • Module Summary - Key takeaways and next steps

Agent 1: Research & Course Architecture

Purpose: Research topic comprehensively, create complete course structure in Notion, and provide detailed content guidance for every page.

Apps Connected: Research action, Notion

Agent 1 Prompt

TOPIC: [Insert your course topic here - e.g., "Advanced Python for Data Science"]

STEP 1: COMPREHENSIVE RESEARCH
Research the absolute latest developments, best practices, tools, and trends in [TOPIC].
Focus on:
- Current industry standards and methodologies
- Latest tools, software, and technologies
- Expert opinions and case studies from the past 12 months
- Common challenges and solutions
- Career opportunities and skill requirements
- Certification paths and industry recognition

STEP 2: CREATE COURSE DATABASE IN NOTION
Create a new Notion database called "[TOPIC] - Complete Course"
With properties:
- Page Type (select): Overview, Module, Lesson, Exercise, Assessment, Resource
- Module Number (number): 1, 2, 3, etc.
- Lesson Number (number): 1, 2, 3, 4 within each module
- Completion Status (checkbox): For tracking progress
- Difficulty Level (select): Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced
- Estimated Time (text): Time to complete
- Content Notes (rich text): Detailed guidance for how to write this content

STEP 3: CREATE COMPLETE COURSE STRUCTURE
Create these pages in the database:

OVERVIEW PAGES:
1. Course Introduction (Page Type: Overview)
2. Learning Path (Page Type: Overview)
3. Resources Hub (Page Type: Resource)
4. Research (Page Type: Resource) - DUMP ALL YOUR RESEARCH HERE

MODULES (Create 4-6 modules based on topic complexity):
FOR EACH MODULE:
- Module X Overview (Page Type: Module)
- Lesson X.1 - [Core Concept] (Page Type: Lesson)
- Lesson X.2 - [Advanced Application] (Page Type: Lesson)
- Lesson X.3 - [Real-world Examples] (Page Type: Lesson)
- Lesson X.4 - [Best Practices]

Agent 2: Content Population & Material Development

Purpose: Read all research data and systematically fill every course page with professional educational content, exercises, and assessments.

Apps Connected: Notion

Implementation Workflow

Sequential Execution Process:

  • Step 1: Run Agent 1 manually with your chosen topic (research + structure creation)

  • Step 2: Review the created course structure and content notes for accuracy

  • Step 3: Run Agent 2 manually to populate all content (may take 30-60 minutes for complex topics)

  • Step 4: Review completed course for quality and make manual adjustments if needed

Quality Control Checklist:

  • All pages have comprehensive content (no placeholder text)

  • Exercises have clear instructions and expected outcomes

  • Assessments include answer keys and explanations

  • Logical progression from beginner to advanced concepts

Expected Results

This automated course creation system will generate:

  • Complete course structure with 4-6 modules and 20-30 individual lessons

  • Professional educational content based on latest industry research

  • Practical exercises and real-world applications for each module

  • Assessment materials with quizzes, answer keys, and grading criteria

Transform any topic into a professional, comprehensive course in 2-3 hours instead of the typical 40-60 hours required for manual course development. The resulting course will be ready for immediate delivery to students or further customization based on your specific teaching style.
