# Create Bricks with TAI

## Feature Overview

Bricks with TAI<sup>TM</sup> 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:

* Take your description and/or uploaded files
* Skip the individual review of objectives and outline
* Generate complete content in a single step
* Allow you to review and optimize the final content before proceeding to the editor

## Configuration Options

### Creation Flow Options

* **Step-by-Step Flow:** Provides maximum control with separate steps for objectives, outline, and content
* **Quick Draft Flow:** Streamlined approach that generates complete content in one step

### Brick Type Options

* **Standard Brick:** Traditional educational content with standard formatting and structure
* **Case-Based Brick:** Specialized format featuring clinical scenarios, findings, and management decisions

### Document Processing Options

* **File Types:** Support for TXT, DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX, and PDF files
* **File Size:** Maximum 100MB per file
* **Document Limit:** Up to 2 documents can be attached per Brick
* **Automatic Summarization:** Large documents are intelligently summarized to extract key information

### Content Regeneration Options

* **Selective Optimization:** Regenerate specific content sections with custom instructions
* **Review Question Generation:** Create additional assessment questions on demand

### Language Options

* **Available Languages:** English (default), Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Vietnamese
* **Language Selection:** Specify your desired language in your initial prompt (e.g., "Create a brick about diabetes in Spanish")

## 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.
