About Course Studio
What Course Studio is, the interactivity types it can generate, and how self-directed and assigned learning work.
Draft — pending review. This article was drafted from JoySuite's product marketing and has not yet been verified against the shipping product. Feature names, screens, and steps may differ.
Course Studio turns any document — a policy, a playbook, a product guide — into interactive learning in minutes. Instead of spending weeks building a course by hand, you point Course Studio at a document you already have and it generates quizzes, roleplays, simulations, coaching, and more. The goal is to prove mastery, not just clicks: learners work through material that checks understanding rather than clicking Next until a page ends.
Course Studio authors learning from your own content and works alongside your existing learning management system (LMS). You can assign and track learning inside Joy, or publish a finished course to your LMS with a one-click SCORM or xAPI export. See Publishing to your LMS for details.

Templates
Course Studio builds courses from three families of templates, mirroring how the Template Gallery is organized:
- Content — blocks that present material: text, charts, diagrams, media, tables, and embeds. See Content templates.
- Interactivities — quiz and question types that check understanding, from single-select to drag-and-drop matching, all self-scoring. See Interactivity templates.
- Guided experiences — AI-driven formats that let learners practise by doing (below).
The guided experiences
| Type | What it does |
|---|---|
| Knowledge Coach | A Socratic walkthrough that guides a learner through a body of knowledge section by section, checking comprehension as it goes. |
| Conversational Scenario | The learner practises a dialogue with an AI that stays in character — handling an upset customer, a tough performance review, or a return. |
| Situational Scenario | The learner works a non-conversational problem through step by step — troubleshooting, diagnosis, or a procedure to resolution. |
| Data Entry Scenario | Hands-on practice completing a real form or interface field by field, with live validation. |
| Software Simulation | A "watch → try → prove it" walkthrough of a software workflow, generated from screenshots you already have. |
| Custom guided experience | A bespoke, assistant-style conversation you configure with your own AI instructions — anything the other formats don't cover. (For a coded custom widget, see custom interactivities.) |
All are AI-driven, grounded in your own sources, can be graded or ungraded, and live at launch. The two interface-based formats — Data Entry Scenario and Software Simulation — are the most differentiated, collapsing specialist-heavy builds into a conversation. See Guided experiences for live examples.
You don't have to pick a single format. A single document can produce several at once — for example a set of flashcards, a quiz, and a conversational scenario from the same source.
Self-directed vs. assigned learning
Course Studio supports two ways for people to learn.
Self-directed learning lets employees practice on their own time. A sales rep can prepare for a tough call by practicing objection handling against your actual sales playbook. A new hire can work through onboarding material at their own pace, without waiting for a scheduled session. No manager approval is required.
Assigned learning lets managers assign learning to individuals or groups and track who has completed it — useful for compliance rollouts, product launches, and onboarding. When you assign learning inside Joy, it appears as a task for each learner, so completion is tracked the same way as any other assignment. See About tasks to learn how tracking works.
Learning commands
Course Studio also exposes learning commands — shortcuts that generate learning on demand from a document. Typing a command such as /roleplay or /quiz lets a learner or author create the matching interactive format instantly, without building it step by step.
