Why Organizations Need New Approaches to Content Creation

Many companies today face similar challenges: knowledge must be preserved, learning materials must be created more quickly, and expertise must be shared more efficiently.

Knowledge Is Lost

When experienced employees leave the organization, valuable expertise often disappears. Preserving this knowledge over the long term is becoming an increasing challenge.

The Demand for Content Is Growing

New processes, products, and requirements are constantly creating a need for new learning content—often faster than it can be created.

The Knowledge Lies Within the Departments

The people with the most expertise are rarely the ones who develop training programs. This results in significant coordination and production efforts.

Resources Remain Limited

L&D teams are expected to create more content without a corresponding increase in time, budget, or staff.

This is exactly where knowtion comes in. The AI Authoring Tool helps organizations turn subject matter expertise into high-quality didactic content more quickly—even without extensive e-learning experience.

„I am convinced that Guided Content Creation is the right approach: bringing production know-how to the places where the knoweldge is located - e.g. the departments. This has the huge advantage that we we can speed up production and can spread the content creation between many more people.“

„We are pushing ahead with digital learning at our company, which is a challenge for our small team. An authoring tool that supports us and speeds things up is something that can really help us. Our aim with the new authoring tool is to make us less dependent on external agencies and to be able to distribute content creation more easily within the team. However, we don't want to compromise on quality.“

Frequently asked questions about the AI authoring tool knowtion

How can departments create their own e-learning courses?

Many companies possess valuable subject matter expertise that is generated within their line-of-business departments. At the same time, these departments often lack the time or didactic expertise needed to develop learning content from this expertise. AI Authoring Tools like knowtion help structure this subject matter and convert it into digital learning formats—even without in-depth experience in e-learning development.

How can a company preserve experiential knowledge?

When experienced employees leave the company or retire, valuable knowledge is often lost. Digital learning content helps document this knowledge for the long term and make it accessible. AI can help capture and structure existing information more quickly and convert it into training materials.

How can AI support the creation of educational content?

AI can assist with many steps in the content creation process—for example, structuring content, drafting text, developing learning objectives, or creating quiz questions. This makes it possible to create and update learning materials more quickly. However, subject-matter review and quality assurance remain important.

How can companies scale up the production of learning content?

The demand for learning content is steadily increasing in many companies. At the same time, resources in L&D teams are often limited. One approach is to involve business units more closely in content creation and empower them to create learning content on their own using simple tools and AI support.

Is knowtion an alternative to classic authoring tools such as Articulate or Storyline?

Yes - with an extended approach.

knowtion is much more than a toolkit for page design. It combines guided content creation with integrated AI support.

1. AI-supported guided content creation In Guided Setup, you define the learning objectives, target group and didactic context - also with AI support - and upload your specialist content. On this basis, the knowtion AI creates suggestions for the training structure, content, quiz questions, translations or audio recordings. You can adapt or further develop these at any time.

2. free page design if required If you want maximum creative freedom, you can design pages flexibly with individually placeable components and layouts - and the training always remains responsive, i.e. it adapts dynamically to any end device.

3. didactic support at the "moment of need " knowtion not only provides technical support, but also conceptual support - especially when it comes to formulating measurable learning objectives and a clear training structure.

This makes knowtion suitable for both experienced L&D teams and specialist departments without in-depth instructional design knowledge.

Can I create a complete WBT or e-learning with knowtion?

Yes, with knowtion you can create complete web-based trainings (WBTs), compliance trainings or microlearnings. You upload your content and the AI automatically develops the structure, text, storyline and interactions - and supports you from the initial idea to the exportable training.

Can I convert a document (e.g. PDF, Word or PPT) into an e-learning course?

Yes, you can upload specialist information directly. knowtion uses it to create measurable learning objectives and a didactically structured training version.

Alternatively, the AI also generates content based on generally accessible topics.

Can I generate SCORM or xAPI packages with knowtion?

Yes. knowtion exports training courses in common standards such as SCORM or xAPI. This means that the content can be used in almost any Learning Management System (LMS).

Is knowtion compatible with our LMS?

Thanks to SCORM and xAPI export, knowtion can be used independently of the LMS.

Compatibility has been continuously optimized so that training courses can be used smoothly in almost all LMS systems.

How do learners access the content?

knowtion is an Authoring Tool - not a Learning Management System (LMS) with which content is distributed to learners.

You export the created training courses as a SCORM or xAPI package and then upload them to your LMS. There, the content is assigned to learners and managed. In addition, content can be made available via a protected link or embedded on websites.

Tip: knowtion unfolds its full potential in combination with the youknow LMS - thanks to full integration, you can publish knowtion training courses in the LMS at the touch of a button.

How does collaboration and review work in knowtion?

knowtion supports structured team collaboration:

  • Central user and role management
  • Clear assignment of rights
  • Project releases via review link (e.g. for coordination with departments, colleagues or compliance)
  • Structured feedback processes without file or version chaos

This allows specialist departments, L&D and reviewers to work together efficiently - without external coordination tools.

How flexible is the design? Am I tied to templates?

No. You can design pages freely - with responsive grids, individually placeable components, background colors, images, GIFs or embedded content.

Can we adapt knowtion to our corporate design (CD)?

Yes, colors, backgrounds and design elements can be customized. Color favorites can be saved. Further layout variants are being planned.

Does knowtion support accessibility?

Yes, with knowtion you can create accessible training courses in accordance with BFSG requirements.

Alt texts, subtitles, adjustable font sizes and colors as well as an accessible mode are integrated.

What AI features does knowtion offer?

knowtion uses generative AI (GPT) in several functional areas:

  • Learning objective generation
  • Content generation (page content)
  • Automatic quiz creation
  • Translation
  • Chatbot
  • Text-to-speech
  • Text creation

The AI provides support in writing, rephrasing, shortening, structuring, translating and setting content to music.

Can I create multilingual training courses?

Yes, training courses can be translated into several languages with the help of AI. Supported languages include English, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Dutch, Portuguese, Czech, Chinese and others.

Will our data be used to train the AI?

No. Data entered is not used to train the language model, but is processed exclusively to generate didactically meaningful content.

What does onboarding look like?

Getting started is uncomplicated.

To get started, you will receive

  • a free demo
  • Support from Customer Success Management
  • a free 1-hour content coaching session
