CYPHER Learning introduces AI-powered Copilot tool to accelerate education course development

artificial intelligence

New CYPHER Copilot accelerates the creation of gamified, multimedia courses and assessments in less than half an hour – laying the foundations for personalized learning at scale.

CYPHER Learning®, the leading modern learning platform for businesses and academia worldwide, today announced the launch of CYPHER Copilot. Guided by AI, CYPHER Copilot empowers users to create comprehensive, engaging and gamified courses and assessments that would normally take days, weeks or even months in minutes. Furthermore, as courses and assessments are automatically aligned to specific competencies, everyone in the learning process benefits from a fine-grained approach that supports personalized learning.

A world first, CYPHER Copilot is available now through the CYPHER modern learning platform. The Copilot removes 80% of the work required to design and curate courses, competencies and assessments, meaning teachers and trainers can focus their attention on the final 20%. Key features include:

  • Accelerated curriculum and course design, including course outlines, descriptions and content in over 50 languages. Copilot enables the generation of an entire course in 20-30 minutes, allowing the selection of materials that reflect individuals’ style and objectives in a fast and cost-effective way.
  • Targeted assessments to track learner progression and identify gaps, including rubric creation and question banks. Copilot helps trainers and educators to automatically generate detailed quizzes, games, and assessments to help evaluate learner progress.
  • Alignment with a full competency-based learning model. Copilot enables organizations to generate competencies, create courses that align to those competencies, along with question banks and assignments that automatically align with those competencies – right down to the question level.
  • Embedded gamification to increase learner engagement. Copilot gamifies courses to bring development to life and inspire learners, improving information retention and understanding to deliver better outcomes.    

“Competency based learning unlocks the potential for personalized learning – the holy Grail of skills development. Yet until now, it’s just not been possible at scale,” comments Graham Glass, CYPHER Learning CEO. “Building and designing development courses is an important part of any teacher or instructor’s job, but it is also very time-consuming. Yet demand for courses is steadily increasing. 33% of the skills needed three years ago are already irrelevant, according to Gartner. At the same time, global teacher shortages are bringing educational institutions to their knees. Something’s got to give. Teachers and instructors do not have the resources to keep up with demand.”

CYPHER Copilot is designed to address these issues, Glass continues:

“Copilot harnesses the power of AI to take care of the mundane aspects of course creation, while still curating dynamic, gamified, multimedia, engaging courses that inspire a passion for lifelong learning. The Copilot is simple and intuitive to use, giving teachers and instructors an AI guided smart assistant who can cut their workload by 80% or more. This accelerates course development, allowing teachers and trainers to focus on the final 20% to polish and refine, ensuring that new courses can be added to stay ahead of the curve. This helps to ensure that human talent is focused where it needs to be, on delivering better outcomes for the learner and the business.”

Top 10 independent school’s £150k sports facility completed ahead of summer

A LEADING independent school completed work on a new £150,000 multi-use sports facility. Already generating interest among prospective learners and the local community, thestate-of-the-art pitches at St Gerard’s School in Bangor have been completed ahead of the summer. The site includes a ‘next generation’ artificial grass surface which can be used for five-a-side football, netball, hockey, tennis, basketball and more. An access road, parking, running track and landscaping neighbour the development and there are plans to construct a toilet block and changing rooms in the coming months, in addition to floodlighting. The school – ranked eighth in the country in the Sunday Times Parent Power Guide – has invested heavily in its infrastructure over the last 18 months. Headteacher Campbell Harrison says they plan to do even more to attract pupils and support current learners and their families. “This is not just a MUGA (multi-use games area), it is a commitment to our pupils and the community,” he said. “We have a rich academic history but are also renowned for punching above our weight when it comes to sporting activity and achievement, producing many champions and elite young athletes over the years. “Most importantly, we promote health, wellbeing and exercise, combined with fun! That’s one of the main reasons behind this new facility, which I’m sure will prove very popular with learners but also people in north west Wales keen to participate in sports like five-a-side, netball and basketball in the evenings and on weekends.” Business Manager Steve Griffiths added: “The facility is a fantastic addition to the site and further improves our physical education (PE) provision. “We have also introduced a garden and landscaping around the area to complement the ‘wellness walk’ we launched last year, and the overall redevelopment of the seven-acre site.  “We have future plans but as always our key mission is to ensure the pupils receive the best education in a warm, welcoming setting – which they do.” Having achieved a 16% rise in learners in 2024 – and with further growth expected in Years 12 and Year 7 – St Gerard’s is well placed to sustain its position as an industry leader in the face of “huge challenges” facing the private education sector. The school has reinforced its long-term vision by investing not only in the sports and outdoor facilities but in revamping the Sixth Form suite, the library, and visitor car park in addition to roof repairs, a rebrand of the logo and website, and a £150,000 heating system. The school will be holding an open event on Saturday June 7 from 10am-1pm.
