Courses overview
Courses let you build structured training programs using roleplay agents, resources, and assessments. A course combines the roleplay agents you have already created into a guided learning path, with timelines, passing criteria, and progress tracking for each learner.

What a course contains
A course brings together the roleplay agents you already have into one guided path, along with reference materials, pass criteria, a timeline, and an assigned audience.
Manage > Courses lists every course, with links to its insights.
- Roleplay agents, used as the practice sessions or lessons
- Resources, such as documents, scripts, or videos to reference before or during practice
- Passing criteria, which set how many agents a learner must pass and attempt, and how many attempts they must make in total
- A timeline, such as a number of days to complete the course
- An audience: everyone (open to all), or the teams and team members in a batch
Learners see their progress, the number of sessions remaining, and whether they have met the passing threshold. They can continue from where they left off and retry an agent up to the maximum attempts allowed for each agent.
How to create a course
- Go to Manage > Courses and click Create Courses.
- In General, give the course a Title and Description, and optionally an LMS Link. Turn on Open to all if every team member should be able to take the course, and use Limit days to complete to set how long learners have once they start.
- In Roleplay Agents, add the agents that make up the course. Use filters to find the right agents quickly. Choose Random Order or Sequential Order, and set Maximum attempts allowed for each agent. This is the total number of attempts per agent, including the first one.
- Set the passing criteria in Course Settings:
- Minimum Agents Passed (required): the minimum number of agents that must be passed to complete the course.
- Minimum Agents Attempted: the minimum number of agents that must be attempted to complete the course.
- Minimum total attempts required (required): the minimum total attempts required across all agents in the course.
For example, in a course with 4 agents you might require at least 3 agents passed, all 4 attempted, and 6 attempts in total.
- In Resources, add any reference materials learners should have.
- In Certifications, turn on Enable Certifications if learners should earn a certificate.
- Click Create New Version to publish the course.
To assign a course to specific teams or team members on their own timeline, create a batch for it. See Managing course batches.
When a new course is published, the Course published modal opens with two next steps:
- Assign this course to learners: opens the batch builder so you can create a batch and assign the course. See Managing course batches.
- Create another course: clears the builder so you can start a new course from scratch.
Exporting to your LMS (SCORM)
Any course can be exported as a SCORM package, in SCORM 2004 (4th Edition) or SCORM 1.2. In Manage > Courses, click the export icon (Export as SCORM) on the course row, choose the version and options, and click Export. Upload the file to your LMS to deliver Outdoo AI training through your existing learning platform.
