Getting started is simple! After logging in, click "Create Course" from your dashboard. Our AI-powered system will guide you through three easy steps:

• Step 1: Tell us about your course topic and target audience
• Step 2: Our AI generates a comprehensive course outline using the Fay Institute Framework
• Step 3: Review, customize, and publish your course with interactive content, assessments, and multimedia

The entire process typically takes 15-30 minutes for a complete course!

The Fay Institute Framework is our proprietary course creation methodology developed specifically for African educators. It combines:

• Learning Science: Evidence-based pedagogical principles
• Cultural Context: African-centric educational approaches
• Accessibility: WCAG 2.1 AA compliance built-in
• Engagement: Interactive elements that keep students motivated

Every course created follows this framework to ensure maximum student success and learning outcomes.

Absolutely not! Fay Creator Studio is designed for educators, not programmers. Our intuitive interface and AI assistance mean you can create professional courses without any technical knowledge. If you can use email or social media, you can create courses with our platform.

With our AI assistance, you can create a complete course in as little as 15-30 minutes. However, we recommend taking additional time to:

• Review and customize AI-generated content
• Add your personal teaching style and examples
• Test interactive elements and assessments
• Preview the complete learner experience

Most educators spend 1-2 hours creating their first professional course.

Our advanced AI system works as your intelligent teaching assistant:

• Content Generation: Creates lesson text, explanations, and examples based on your topic
• Visual Creation: Generates educational images, diagrams, and infographics
• Assessment Design: Creates quizzes, assignments, and interactive activities
• Structure Optimization: Organizes content for maximum learning effectiveness

The AI follows the Fay Institute Framework to ensure every course meets professional educational standards.

Yes! Complete customization is a core feature. You can:

• Edit any text, images, or multimedia content
• Modify course structure and lesson flow
• Add your own examples and case studies
• Customize assessments and activities
• Upload your own images and resources

Think of AI as your starting point - you have full control over the final course.

• Swahili
• French (West and Central Africa)
• Arabic (North Africa)
• Portuguese (Lusophone Africa)

Additional African languages will be added based on community demand and usage patterns.

Our AI is specifically trained on educational content and follows strict quality guidelines. However, we always recommend:

• Reviewing all AI-generated content before publishing
• Adding your expertise and local context
• Testing courses with a small group first
• Using our built-in fact-checking suggestions

The AI serves as your assistant, but your educational expertise remains essential for the best outcomes.
