FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Agencies Maintain Complete Control. New CourseAdvisor module transforms course creation from a centralized task into a collaborative, AI-assisted workflow—without compromising control or compliance.
July 23, 2025 — CourseAvenue, a leader in accessible eLearning for federal agencies, has launched a GenAI-powered update to its Studio platform. The CourseAvenue Studio CourseAdvisor directly delivers on the Administration’s priorities to embrace GenAI, cut costs, and stay mission-focused—without introducing system risk or triggering governance delays.
Today, building 10 interactive, accessible eLearning courses through traditional government contracting can take more than a year and cost upwards of $1 million—a benchmark confirmed by a USDA executive. By contrast, CourseAvenue’s GenAI-enabled approach allows agencies to generate the same volume of educational content in under two weeks for less than $10,000. Critically, the process never exposes sensitive data, never integrates with agency systems, and ensures all content is human-reviewed (Human-in-the-Loop) before being uploaded to the agency’s LMS via a stand-alone course module.
Fixing the Bottleneck: A New Model for Course Creation
Traditional eLearning tools—even those incorporating GenAI—still rely on a single-author model, where one designated course builder is responsible for converting content into instruction. At best, these tools make that person slightly faster. But the process remains centralized, slow, and dependent on individual capacity.
CourseAvenue Studio’s new Course Advisor changes that model entirely. By combining instructional design logic with generative AI, Course Advisor transforms raw regulatory, legal, or technical content into full draft courses—complete with lessons, pages, quizzes, and accessibility scaffolding—that anyone can review, refine, and publish. More than 800 courses built using this method can be viewed on Gov.Education – the world’s largest library of Federally curated elearning content.
“With Course Advisor, we’re not just giving one person better tools—we’re changing the entire course creation model,” said Joe Gorup, CEO of CourseAvenue. “Instead of waiting on a single author to do everything, we’re enabling subject matter experts, analysts, and field personnel to generate real, instructionally sound education from raw content. That’s where the efficiency comes from—not just faster authoring, but broader participation. It’s still human-reviewed, fully 508-compliant, and always under agency control—but now, anyone can help build the course.”
This shift turns course development from an expensive bottleneck into a scalable, collaborative process—helping agencies meet tight deadlines, reduce contracting burdens, and maintain ownership of their own learning content.
Agencies Now “Own” Their Education
With human-in-the-loop, CourseAvenue Studio doesn’t just offer the safest application of GenAI—it gives agencies the power to reclaim ownership of their educational content. Instead of relying on slow, expensive contractors or settling for generic, off-the-shelf courses, federal teams can now build custom training tailored to their mission, workforce, and terminology.
Consider titles like “Soil Properties and Interpretations – Module 9: Mineralogy” or “SNAP Corrective Action Plans.” These aren’t abstract or generic—they’re examples of highly targeted, agency-specific training created by the USDA.
With CourseAvenue, any agency can produce this level of customized, regulation-based education in days, not months—while retaining full editorial control, accessibility compliance, and subject matter integrity.
