How to use the Curation Assistant

OpenSesame’s AI-powered Curation Assistant helps you find relevant courses and create Lists. It works best when you need courses for a specific topic or audience.

In this guide:

• Find the assistant
• Start a conversation
• Refine results
• View course details
• Create a List from the results
• Tips

Find the assistant

Log in to OpenSesame. If you are already logged in, select Catalog from the navigation.

If your account has access to the Curation Assistant, a Curate with AI button appears.

Select the button to open the assistant.

Start a conversation

When the assistant opens, a text field appears. 

Note: To close the assistant and return to the catalog, use the navigation bar or the browser Back button.

Describe the training you need, such as “leadership for new managers from TED.” You can include details like:

• Target audience
• Required languages
• Preferred course length

You can also start with a keyword. If the assistant needs more information, it asks follow-up questions.

When the assistant has enough information, it recommends courses from the OpenSesame catalog.

Recommendations are based on course details such as:

• Categories, competencies, and skills
• Course style and features
• Course title, description, and publisher
• Languages
   

Refine results

If you’re satisfied with the course recommendations, skip to previewing courses or creating a List from the results.

To refine the results, describe what to adjust or add more information.

For additional courses on the same topic, ask the assistant to expand the recommendations. To refine course results, continue chatting. 
 

View course details

To learn more about a course, select its title or thumbnail image.

Course details open in a new browser tab. 

To preview the course, select the cover image in the new tab.

Create a List from the results

When the recommendations meet your needs, ask the assistant to create a List.

A confirmation prompt appears. Select Save.

The request processes, and the new List appears. Its title and description are automatically generated and can be edited at any time.

From the List, you can:

• Preview all courses.
• Organize or add courses.
• Collaborate with your team.

When you are ready to deliver, send courses to an integrated learning platform or download course files to upload to a learning platform.

Tips

• The Curation Assistant supports one topic per conversation.
• It does not remember previous conversations.
• For more relevant results, include audience details, such as role or experience level.
