Our new course builder experience

What the new course builder gives you, and what's landed since it went live on 17 August.

The new course builder is live, so you'll see a new way to create courses in your account alongside the tools you use today. Your existing courses aren't affected and keep working exactly as they do now.

Screens are made of blocks

Instead of choosing from a fixed list of screen types and fitting your content into whichever one comes closest, you build each screen from blocks you arrange on a six column grid. Layouts handle the design work, so spacing and hierarchy stay consistent however you arrange things.

There are three kinds of block:

• Content blocks: headings, text, images, video, audio, tables, buttons and embedded documents.
• Interactive blocks: accordions, checklists, process steps, flashcards and slideshows.
• Assessment blocks: the seven question types, plus scored quizzes with results.

Any block can sit on any screen, and screens group into sections.

Build and edit by chatting with the agent

Course creation and editing happen as a conversation. You upload a file (Word, PowerPoint, PDF or SCORM) or start from a written brief, then choose how closely the result follows your source:

• Verbatim: keeps your wording as written, good for policies, compliance and procedures.
• Structured: reorganises your material into a clear learning flow.
• Adaptive: rewrites and expands it into a fuller course.

The agent stays with you inside the builder to add screens, rework wording, adjust reading level, insert assessments or restructure the course, so you're not hunting through menus.

Review your course before you publish

The Review tab in the agent gives you expert feedback on a course whenever you want it, covering instructional quality, engagement and accessibility. You get specific findings rather than a single score, and each one links straight to the screen it's about. The third tab, Insights, reads your course analytics so you can ask what's working in plain language.

Bring your old SCORM courses in

The creation flow accepts SCORM packages as well as documents. Upload a package and it's turned into a fully editable Coassemble course made of blocks. Articulate Rise and Storyline, Adobe Captivate and iSpring are supported, and your text, images, galleries, flashcards, process steps, accordions and knowledge checks carry across. Anything that can't be converted is listed for you to review, rather than quietly dropped.

Connect Coassemble to your AI assistant

You can connect Coassemble to an AI assistant like Claude and have it create and manage courses directly in your workspace. It covers more than 50 tools across course creation, editing, publishing and analytics, so it can do most of what you'd do yourself in the app. Setup is a single sign-in, managed from your Settings, and you can disconnect at any time.

A clearer experience for learners

Courses built with the new builder have a rebuilt learner view. Related content groups into sections rather than running as one long list of screens, and learners see the full course outline in a sidebar, including what they've completed, so they can jump straight to the section they need.

Author in your language

The builder is fully localised in eleven languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish. That's independent of the course language itself, so you can plan a Spanish course in English if that's easier for you.

What's landed since launch

Mobile layout editing

Switch the builder to Mobile and control how a screen stacks on a phone, separately from the desktop design. Hide blocks that don't earn their space on a small screen, set a different block order without touching the desktop layout, and keep image shapes rather than having them stretch to full phone width.

Reposition images

Choose which part of an image shows inside a block, rather than only fitting or filling it. Drag to reposition and zoom up to 3x, with the rest of the image shown faded so you can see what's outside the frame. It works inside process, flashcard and slideshow cards too. Images already placed in existing courses look exactly as they did.

Custom fonts on headings and paragraphs

Pick a font outside your theme's set directly from the heading and paragraph toolbars, with weights in their own menu and a one-click reset back to the theme font.

Better AI images

Generated images now reflect your course topic rather than just the screen they sit on, and generation shows its progress so you can see which screen is being illustrated.

For teams delivering Coassemble inside their own product

Two additions if you embed Coassemble in your own application:

• Screen embeddables. Work with a single screen rather than a whole course. Screen Builder puts the screen editor inside your application, and Screen Player renders one screen for a learner. A standalone quiz embeds as a set, with scoring, retakes and results. Screen start, completion, answers and scores are sent to your application, the built-in navigation can be hidden so your own controls take over, and the optional AI assistant is off by default.
• SCORM hosting. Upload an existing SCORM package and host it in Coassemble alongside authored courses. Packages appear as course cards with an editable cover image and a SCORM label. You get attempt tracking (attempts, time spent, success and score, compared side by side), the ability to grant an extra attempt to a learner who's genuinely blocked, and question-level results you can download as a CSV.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to my existing courses?

Nothing changes. Anything you've already built stays where it is and keeps working exactly as it does now, and opens in the builder it was made in.

When will I see it?

It's available now. Controlled Release servers (previously Enterprise) receive it after the Standard Release server, which gives those customers preparation time. The interval varies by release.

How do I tell which builder a course was made in?

Courses built in the Classic builder carry a Classic badge on their card in the dashboard.
