      Overview

      With the 3.9 release, we are rolling out a full integration with OpenSesame, AI authoring tools using OpenAI, and additional customization options.

      Details

      OpenSesame Integration

      With over 30,000 courses available in its catalog, OpenSesame offers the most comprehensive catalog of curated e-learning courses in a variety of formats and languages. These courses are now supported directly within SparkLearn.*

      *OpenSesame content is not included in your purchase of SparkLearn and a separate OpenSesame account is required for configuration. Learn more.

      OpenAI Integration

      Use OpenAI (the brains behind ChatGPT) to generate content descriptions, flashcards, and tip cards based on your content. This new tool will simplify and refine the authoring process and help you get the most out of the content you already have. Note: Using the OpenAI Integration leverages their API and is subject to their terms and conditions.
