Automated Production of Learning Content with MILES Content‑AI
The “MILES Content‑AI” enables AI-supported creation of complete Content Units in just a few minutes, based on content from internal knowledge bases or public knowledge sources.
Target audience: Training managers, authors, administrators, e-learning managers
Introduction
Section titled “Introduction”MILES Content‑AI revolutionizes the way organizations produce learning content. Instead of preparing knowledge manually through time-consuming processes, the MILES Content‑AI allows for the automatic generation of didactically structured content units.
The AI transforms existing documents and data sets into educationally optimized, multimedia learning content, reducing the production effort from many hours to just a few minutes. This enables scalable, cost-efficient, and high-quality knowledge transfer.
Background
Section titled “Background”Every organization already has an extensive pool of knowledge. However, this knowledge typically exists in numerous heterogeneous formats (PDF, Word, PowerPoint, databases, etc.). Additionally, access to this information is often limited. Without proper processing, this data is hardly usable for structured learning processes.
Traditional content production in e-learning is often:
- time-consuming (several days to weeks per learning unit)
- resource-intensive (subject matter experts, authors, instructional designers)
- not scalable (limited production capacity)
MILES Content‑AI addresses these challenges by automatically structuring existing information didactically and converting it directly into MILES-compatible content units.
How MILES Content‑AI works
Section titled “How MILES Content‑AI works”MILES Content‑AI leverages modern language models and operates with three key components:
Knowledge Bases
Section titled “Knowledge Bases”- Secure storage area for company knowledge
- Supports any document format (PDF, .docx, .pptx, .txt, .htm, etc.)
- Full semantic indexing of content through vectorization
- Strict data protection: no sharing or external model training
- Multiple knowledge bases can be created and separated by topic
Public Knowledge (optional)
Section titled “Public Knowledge (optional)”- Access to the domain knowledge of the underlying language model
- Optionally enhance and expand content with public knowledge
Adaptable Workflows for Content Production Control
Section titled “Adaptable Workflows for Content Production Control”- Definable parameters: structure, scope, style, target audience, language
- Custom prompts for fine-tuning AI output
Didactic Structure of Generated Content Units
Section titled “Didactic Structure of Generated Content Units”MILES Content‑AI creates content units with a consistent, effective instructional structure:
- Introduction
- Knowledge sections (as many as needed)
- Exercise phases with interactive elements (questions, exercises, tasks)
- Summary
Each knowledge phase can include all common media formats (text, videos, images, graphics, links). The AI automatically follows this structure when generating new content. Only images and videos need to be added manually afterward, which is easily done using the intuitive tools in MILES.
Interaction & Knowledge Checks
Section titled “Interaction & Knowledge Checks”MILES Content‑AI can also generate matching questions, exercises, or tasks based on the produced learning content:
- Variety of types: multiple choice, matching terms, ordering terms, etc.
- Automatic selection of appropriate exercise types
- Didactic alignment with the instructional sections
Export & Deployment
Section titled “Export & Deployment”- Generated elements (content units, exercises) can be exported to your MILES tenant with the click of a button after approval.
- Imported elements are also modularly reusable: they can be flexibly combined into new courses or added to existing ones.
- Group managers can immediately publish newly generated content (make available to learners).
Use Cases
Section titled “Use Cases”Onboarding:
Existing documents are quickly and professionally converted into training materials for new employees.
Internal Knowledge Transfer:
Expert knowledge is automatically transformed into content units and made available to staff.
Customer Training:
Product documentation is efficiently turned into interactive learning content with minimal effort.
Benefits & Challenges
Section titled “Benefits & Challenges”Benefits
Section titled “Benefits”- Extreme time savings: Create content units in minutes instead of hours or days
- Didactic quality: Consistent structure and interactive elements
- Flexibility: Customizable workflows for exactly the content you need
- Security: Protected, individual knowledge bases with no data sharing
- Scalability: Unlimited content production
Remaining Tasks
Section titled “Remaining Tasks”- Initial setup: Adapting workflows requires experience with document formats and prompt engineering
- Quality assurance: Human review processes remain useful to ensure content accuracy and quality
Summary
Section titled “Summary”MILES Content‑AI enables organizations to transform their existing knowledge into high-quality, interactive learning content — automatically, quickly, and securely. By combining modular content design, defined instructional structures, individual knowledge bases, and adaptable workflows, it creates a new dimension of content production for the LCMS MILES.
