General Questions<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is the ThingLink Scenario Builder?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ThingLink Scenario Builder makes it easy for you to build visually engaging, self-paced learning modules that are accessible on laptops, mobile devices, VR headsets and immersive meeting rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can the &#8220;Create with AI&#8221; option in ThingLink Scenario Builder build a complete course for me?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;Create with AI&#8221; feature in the ThingLink Scenario Builder will suggest a framework for your course, based on any materials you upload (like PDFs) and the additional information you provide. The framework includes a suggestion of key content areas, learning goals, and different kinds of content blocks which you can edit. This serves as an excellent starting point to develop and customize your course further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the best results, we recommend providing guidance or specific details, such as desired outcomes, course length, style, and key topics. This input helps the AI generate a course structure that closely matches your training objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Create Interactive Learning Experiences with the New AI-Powered ThingLink Scenario Builder\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7-SZfOeboeI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who can access the new Scenario Builder and the \u201cCreate with AI\u201d function?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All accounts have access to the Scenario Builder and AI tools; however, publishing scenarios created with AI requires a school, organization, or enterprise license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All ThingLink users can access the new Scenario Builder and the Create with AI functionality, publishing and sharing created content is available for paid account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can students use the &#8220;Create with AI&#8221; feature?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By default settings, students cannot access the &#8220;Create with AI&#8221; feature.
