Documentation

Supported sources

You can mix several sources in one course.

• Documents: PDF (including scanned pages), Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx, with speaker notes), Excel (.xlsx) and CSV, EPUB e-books, Markdown and plain text.
• Web: any article or help page, or a section of a documentation site collected as a set.
• Video and audio: YouTube links (from captions), and audio or video files, which are transcribed.
• Images: photos of pages, slides or diagrams.

Creating a course

1. Add your material. Upload files, paste links or paste text.
2. Review what UnboxEd found. You see the kind of material, the subject, the mix of knowledge (facts, concepts, processes, procedures and so on) and how each will be taught.
3. Choose your learner. Pick a suggested goal or write your own, then set the audience level, time and language, and which sections to include.
4. Approve the outline. Rename, reorder, add or remove modules. Nothing is written until you press Unbox it.
5. Edit and publish. Review every card in a phone preview, edit it or ask for a rewrite, then share one link.

Cards and games

Each module has about a dozen cards: a hook, picture-first explanation cards, at least three games, a hands-on "your turn" task and a recap. Games include true or false, sort it, put in order, match up, odd one out, fill the gap and quick check. Every module also adds flashcards to the learner's memory deck.

Explanations use an illustration, a diagram drawn from the content (flows, cycles, comparisons, timelines, hierarchies), a figure from your source, or a code or formula block.

The tutor

Learners can ask the tutor by typing or speaking and hear replies read aloud. The tutor answers from the course material, gives hints before answers, and replies in the learner's chosen language.

Languages

Courses can be created in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Spanish, French, German and Arabic.

Source checking

Every card is written from specific passages of your material and then checked against them. Cards also pass automatic checks for length, reading level and a working answer key. Anything that fails is flagged for you, with the reason, before learners see it.

Sharing and export

Publish a course and share one link; learners need nothing installed. You can export the question bank in the QTI standard, or the whole course as a bundle. SCORM, xAPI and LTI packaging are in development.

Your material and courses are visible only to you and the people you share them with, and are never used to train AI models. See the privacy policy for details.
