The AI turned my Moodle glossaries into XML I could drop into my course

Glossaries for his Moodle course used to be a lot of work for a poor payoff. The AI made matching XML for them and he had it in the course in 2 minutes, with only the proofreading left to do himself.

How it works

  1. The AI creates matching XML for the glossaries
  2. He adds it to his Moodle course in 2 minutes
  3. He proofreads it over a cup of coffee

Why it’s worth knowing

Work that used to take him a long time was done in 2 minutes. All he had left to do was read it through.
