🆕Create Bricks with TAI

Feature Overview

Bricks with TAI^TM is a powerful AI-assisted authoring tool that revolutionizes the creation of educational content within the ScholarRx platform. TAI (Teaching with AI) leverages artificial intelligence to transform your ideas, notes, presentations, and educational materials into fully structured, comprehensive learning modules called "Bricks."

This feature dramatically reduces the time and effort needed to create high-quality educational content by automating much of the initial content generation while keeping you in complete creative control. Whether you're starting with just a topic idea or have existing materials like PowerPoint slides or PDFs, TAI helps you convert these into engaging, well-structured Bricks complete with learning objectives, organized content, and interactive review questions.

Bricks with TAI supports multiple creation workflows to match your preferences, from a detailed step-by-step approach for maximum customization to a rapid "Quick Draft" option for faster content generation. The system intelligently processes your inputs and generates content tailored to your specific educational needs in the medical education domain.

How It Works

Starting a New Brick with TAI

Describe Your Brick

• Enter your topic or describe what you want the Brick to cover

• For best results, provide specific details about your target audience, desired focus areas, and educational context

• Optionally upload relevant files (presentations, PDFs, documents) to use as source material

• Select your preferred creation mode (Step-by-Step or Quick Draft) and brick type (Standard or Case-Based)

• Previous TAI projects appear below for easy access to past work

Review and Refine Learning Objectives (Step-by-Step mode)

• TAI generates learning objectives based on your description, structured according to educational best practices

• Edit, reorder (using drag and drop), or remove objectives as needed

• Add new objectives or regenerate them with more specific instructions

• Navigate back to revise your description or proceed to outline creation

Customize Your Content Outline (Step-by-Step mode)

• Review the AI-generated outline based on your learning objectives

• Modify section titles, descriptions, and types (headings, case connections, flashcards, etc.)

• Reorder sections using drag and drop or add new sections

• Collapse sections to manage complex outlines more easily

• Navigate back to revise objectives or proceed to content generation

Review and Optimize Content

• Examine the complete Brick content generated by TAI

• Select specific items to optimize with custom instructions

• Generate review questions to test understanding of the material

• When satisfied, proceed to the full Brick editor for final customization

Using Quick Draft Mode

If you select the Quick Draft flow, TAI will:

Usage Examples

Example 1: Creating a Brick from Scratch

Start with a topic description. For example: "Create a comprehensive brick about diabetes mellitus for first-year medical students, focusing on pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes."

Review and refine the generated learning objectives:

• "Define diabetes mellitus and distinguish between Type 1 and Type 2"

• "Describe the pathophysiology of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus"

• "Identify the clinical presentation and diagnostic criteria for diabetes"

• "Explain treatment approaches for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes"

• "Analyze potential complications of diabetes and their management"

Customize the content outline to ensure all key topics are covered and properly structured with appropriate interactive elements

Review the generated content, optimize specific sections as needed, and add review questions

Finalize in the editor by adding images, videos, or other interactive elements

Example 2: Converting Lecture Materials

Upload your PowerPoint presentation and select the Quick Draft flow

Add contextual information. For example: "This is for second-year medical students and should emphasize electrophysiology and pressure-volume relationships"

Review the automatically generated content which preserves the structure and key points from your slides

Optimize sections that need more detail or clarity

Generate review questions to test understanding of key concepts

Example 3: Creating a Case-Based Brick

Select Case-Based Brick type and provide a clinical scenario. For example: "Create a case-based brick about a patient presenting with acute coronary syndrome"

Review the patient case narrative and ensure it realistically presents clinical findings and progression

Optimize the educational content to highlight key learning points related to the case

Review the open response questions that prompt clinical reasoning throughout the case

Finalize the case resolution to show appropriate clinical management and reinforce learning objectives

Integration Points

Bricks with TAI seamlessly integrates with:

• Brick Editor: Complete your draft and transition directly to the full-featured Brick editor for additional formatting and interactive elements

• Brick Library: Saved drafts and completed Bricks become part of your library for future access and management

• Content Management System: All TAI-generated content follows the same content standards and structure as manually created Bricks

• File Management System: Upload and process various document types to use as source material

Tips for Getting the Best Results

• Be Specific: The more details you provide in your initial description, the better TAI can tailor the content to your needs

• Provide Context: Mention your intended audience (e.g., "first-year medical students") and educational goals

• Use Step-by-Step Mode: For complex topics, the step-by-step approach gives you more control over the structure and content

• Leverage Source Materials: Uploading relevant slides or documents helps TAI understand the specific content you want to cover

• Review and Iterate: Don't hesitate to regenerate sections or provide additional guidance to refine the content

By combining the power of artificial intelligence with your educational expertise, Bricks with TAI transforms the content creation process, allowing you to produce high-quality educational materials more efficiently while maintaining complete creative control.
