Open LMS, a leader in open-source learning management systems, announces the launch of the AI-Assisted Editor for TinyMCE*, a new tool designed to empower educators and administrators with AI-powered capabilities that simplify and enrich the content creation process within the default rich-text editor in Moodle-based platforms.

At the core of the AI-Assisted Editor is its ability to generate high-quality text, HTML elements, and CSS styles in response to user prompts. With a simple click of the AI Assistant icon in the editor toolbar, users can quickly draft engaging learning content, saving valuable time on administrative tasks. Whether drafting course announcements, creating new lesson content, or refining existing ones, this user-friendly AI tool integrates seamlessly into the Open LMS workflow, offering innovative writing tools that streamline the creative process.

Although users are free to write their own specific AI prompts as needed, Open LMS’s AI-Assisted Editor includes predefined actions such as:

  • Summarize Information: Quickly condense complex content into short, digestible summaries.
  • Create Tables: Easily generate tables from existing text.
  • Expand Content: Enrich your content by expanding brief text with added detail and context.
  • Generate Bullet Points: Organize ideas into clear, concise bullet points.
  • Grammar Review: Ensure your writing is error-free with AI-powered grammar checks.
  • Change Tone: Easily adjust the tone of your writing to suit your audience, from formal to casual.
  • Adjust Style: Modify the writing style to meet your content needs.
  • Translate Text: Translate your content into 13 languages to reach a global audience.

“At Open LMS, we recognize the importance of providing intuitive tools that save educators and L&D departments time, and increase their ability to focus on meaningful interactions with their learners and students,” said Laura Martin Prieto, Senior Director of Product Management at Open LMS. “The new AI-Assisted Editor offers advanced features, allowing users to generate, refine, and customize content effortlessly to better support learners.”

The AI-Assisted Editor for TinyMCE is available now to all Open LMS EDU users and will launch for Open LMS WORK in January 2025, underscoring the company’s commitment to continuous innovation and support for educators worldwide. As it leverages OpenAI technology, API keys are required to activate its advanced features.

TinyMCE is the default rich-text editor in Open LMS and Moodle (as of Moodle 4.4.), allowing users to create learning content with ease. TinyMCE provides a set of tools for text formatting and adding multimedia elements, including default functions and community-developed plugins such as Open LMS’s AI Assistant Editor.
