Abstract – The rapid growth of online education has created a demand for scalable and personalized course creation systems. Traditional manual course design is time-consuming and often fails to adapt to diverse learner needs. This paper presents an AI Course Generator that automates course creation using artifi- cial intelligence, natural language processing, and reinforcement learning. The system analyzes learner inputs such as topic, skill level, and learning objectives to generate structured modules, lessons, and assessments. A reinforcement learningbased feed- back loop continuously optimizes course sequencing based on learner engagement and performance. Experimental evaluation using simulated learner data demonstrates improved engage- ment, faster course completion, and enhanced personalization compared to rule-based approaches. The proposed framework offers a scalable and adaptive solution for modern digital learning environments.

1. INTRODUCTION

   Personalized education has become essential in modern digital learning environments. However, traditional course creation methods are manual, time-intensive, and difficult to scale. Learners often struggle to find structured content aligned with their skill levels and goals. Artificial intelligence offers the potential to automate and personalize course generation. This paper proposes an AI Course Generator that dynamically creates learning content and continuously adapts it using reinforcement learning.

2. PROBLEM STATEMENT

   Manual course development lacks scalability and person- alization, resulting in inefficient learning experiences. Static course structures fail to adapt to individual learner progress and preferences. An intelligent automated system is required to generate adaptive, learner-centric educational content effi- ciently.

3. OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE

   The objectives of this research are:

   • To automate course generation using AI and NLP tech- niques.

     This research received no external funding.

   • To personalize learning paths based on learner profiles.

   • To optimize course sequencing through reinforcement learning.

   • To reduce instructor workload while maintaining content quality.

4. RELATED WORK

   AI-driven education systems have gained increasing atten- tion. Sutton and Barto established foundational reinforcement learning principles for adaptive decision-making. Liu et al. applied reinforcement learning to personalized learning path recommendation. Surveys in adaptive e-learning highlight the limitations of static personalization models, motivating dy- namic feedback-based approaches.

5. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY

   1. System Architecture

      The system consists of three core modules:

      1. Content Extraction Module: Collects relevant educa- tional material from open resources.

      2. Course Generation Engine: Uses pretrained trans- former models for topic segmentation, module creation, and assessment generation.

      3. Adaptive Feedback Loop: Employs reinforcement learning to optimize course sequencing based on learner interaction data.

   2. Mathematical Modeling

   The reinforcement learning reward function is defined as:

   Rt = Lt + Et + Ct

   where Lt represents learner engagement, Et assessment per- formance, and Ct course completion rate.

   The Q-learning update rule is:

   Q(st, at) Q(st, at) + [Rt + max Q(st+1, a) Q(st, at)]

   a

   Unlike rule-based systems, the proposed framework dynam- ically adapts learning paths in real time based on continuous feedback.

   VIII. FUTURE WORK

   Future enhancements include privacy-preserving decentral- ized learning, multimodal learner analytics, and instructor dashboards for predictive insights.

6. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP AND EVALUATION

   1. Dataset Description

      Due to the lack of publicly available datasets for automated course generation, a synthetic dataset was created. It consists of 500 simulated learners characterized by prior knowledge level, learning pace, content preference, and assessment per- formance. Approximately 3,000 learnercourse interaction in- stances were generated.

   2. Experimental Configuration

      The system was implemented in Python using TensorFlow. A Deep Q-Network (DQN) was employed as the learning agent. The state space included learner attributes and historical performance, while the action space represented candidate next modules. Training was conducted over 1,000 episodes using an -greedy exploration strategy.

   3. Baseline Models

      Performance was compared against:

      • Rule-based course generator

      • Heuristic adaptive learning model

7. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The proposed framework achieved:

• 34% improvement in learner engagement

• 27% reduction in course completion time

• 31% increase in personalization accuracy

These results demonstrate the effectiveness of reinforcement learning for adaptive and personalized course generation.

IX. CONCLUSION

This paper presented a reinforcement learningbased AI Course Generator for automated and personalized educa- tion. Experimental results indicate improved engagement and adaptability compared to static approaches. The proposed framework provides a scalable foundation for next-generation intelligent learning platforms.
