    Short answer: you rarely need to rebuild. Improve the wording, keep structure and correct answers locked, get expert sign-off, then add one or two modern touches such as a short video or animated picture.

    Step 1: Import what you have

    Bring in the existing course, a Word document or a PDF. CourseAgent keeps your content rather than rewriting it from scratch.

    Step 2: Enhance the wording

    Enhance rewrites the wording so it teaches better. Titles, page order, layouts, pictures, settings and correct answers stay protected. A restore point is saved first, so you can undo in one click, or create an enhanced copy instead.

    Step 3: Get sign-off

    Download the Word report with every proposed change, decision and note. Share it with your subject expert or compliance lead before applying.

    Step 4: Add modern touches

    • A short explainer video made inside the course
    • One animated picture per section
    • A Course Tutor so learners can ask questions

    Step 5: Republish

    Deliver through your Academy, SCORM or LTI 1.3.
