What to Ask Your AI Assistant

Working recipes for an AI assistant connected over MCP: modernize an imported course, draft quizzes from lesson content, write alt text, translate, audit accessibility and export.

Modernize an imported course

After a legacy import, the report lists what did not come across and — if you ticked Review the content after import — dated references and images without descriptions. Ask your assistant:

*"Open the course I just imported, read each lesson, and rewrite any paragraph over 200 words for readability. Keep the meaning, keep the terminology, and tell me what you changed in each lesson."*

Because the work happens in your chat, you review each rewrite before moving on — nothing lands silently.

Draft knowledge checks

*"Read lesson 3 of my Safety Onboarding course and draft two multiple-choice questions that test its key points. Make the distractors plausible mistakes, not jokes, and add per-option feedback explaining why each wrong answer is wrong."*

The assistant writes real question blocks with answer keys; you adjust wording and placement in the editor.

Write alt text that actually describes the image

*"List every image in this course that has no alt text, look at each one, and propose a description that serves its teaching purpose — not just what it looks like. Put your proposals in a list for me to approve before writing any of them."*

For diagrams and screenshots, tell it what the learner is supposed to take from the image; that context produces far better descriptions than the picture alone.

Tip: On a Scenes course the assistant can look at a slide's pictures itself (the view_scene_images tool), so it describes what is actually there. On a block course, the import's content review flags images that arrived without descriptions, so the list is already on the Import report panel.

Translate a course

*"Build a Spanish version of my Forklift Refresher course as a new course: same modules, lessons and blocks, all text translated, quiz logic and media unchanged, question feedback translated too. Flag anything you were unsure about."*

The assistant reads the course and builds the new one block by block (there is no one-step copy over MCP). For vendor workflows, Scormbusters also exports and re-imports XLIFF per locale under More → Translations in the course editor — use that when a human translation agency is involved.

Audit and fix accessibility

*"Run an accessibility audit on this course, then fix what can be fixed mechanically — heading order, missing names — and give me a list of what needs a human decision, with your recommendation for each."*

The audit_course tool runs the same checks as the editor's checker, so the assistant's list matches what you would see in the app.

Export and hand off

*"Export this course as SCORM 2004 and give me the download link."*

For a course you imported from an LMS package and want to upload over the old one: *"Export this as a replacement for the original in our LMS."* The assistant uses the same Replace the original in your LMS option as the export menu, in the format the original was published in; it refuses a format the original never had (for example cmi5 for a SCORM original) and passes on the same warnings — a changed SCORM version, an original in several parts. Try the replacement in a test copy of the course first.

The assistant can also build a course end to end from source material you paste into the chat — outline first, then lessons, then questions — with you steering at each step. The build-course prompt in the MCP server walks it through the structure Scormbusters expects.
