1. Overview

The HACC Gen (Human AI Collaborative Content Generator) local plugin is an AI-powered course content generator for Moodle that enables teachers, managers and Administrators to create fully structured courses in minutes.

Using a guided multi-step workflow, the plugin generates a complete course with content broken into topics, sub-topics and quizzes.

Philosophy - Though it generates the content using AI, humans have complete control over it. Course creators can adjust the learning objectives for each topic, even add or modify topic and choose to have quizzes in each topic. It is based on the philosophy that humans are the knowledge experts, whereas AI can expedite the repetitive and boring tasks. 

It is based on the following core pillars: 

  • Socia-Technical Systems Theory
  • ADDIE Model
  • Cognitive Load Theory
  • Bloom's Taxonomy

Additionally, it also considers the other Learning theories. 

Generated content can be saved as a draft or automatically create a complete, structured course inside Moodle using Page and Quiz activities.

To navigate to the plugin, you need to go to the desired course and then:

Navigate to Desired Course → Course administration → More → HACC Gen

It is perfect for:

  • Rapid course creation  
  • Converting PDFs into structured Moodle courses  
  • AI-assisted instructional design  
  • Automatic quiz generation  
  • Reducing course development time
