In a rapidly changing market, organizations will need to create, update and implement learning resources that keep pace with the rate of change. We’re excited to launch Coursera Course Builder, an AI-powered authoring tool that enables any business, government, or campus to easily and quickly create custom private courses at scale.
Based on a few simple inputs from the human author, the tool automatically generates course content including outlines, descriptions and learning objectives, dramatically reducing the time and cost of content production without sacrificing quality. Authors can seamlessly blend modules from participating world-class industry and academic partners on Coursera with content from experts from their own organization.
With detailed instructions, authors can:
- Develop new private courses, adapted to specific needs and available only to their participants
- Browse relevant content from Coursera’s catalog with AI-powered recommendations
- Blend professional subjects or modules from participating Coursera partners into a custom course
- Add customized content specific to your university or organization with experts from Coursera’s catalog

Private and employers in the public sector can quickly create and launch organization-specific courses tailored to their unique needs, making employee learning more relevant and productive. L&D teams can combine world-class content from leading industry and academic experts with relevant business context, use cases and internal expertise. They can also tailor core learning resources for specific career levels and job roles.
“Course Builder allowed us to quickly create customized courses for our trading team on data analysis and decision making that included our own private content and materials from leading industry experts on Coursera,” said Trina Lima, Head of Global Learning Strategy at Sanofi . “We’ve seen an increase in course enrollments within the Trade team as a result of this personalized approach, which has motivated us to extend access to the AI-powered authoring tool for L&D leaders to tailor training for specific teams within organizations.”
