Course Management
Learn how to create and manage your courses on AITA.
Create a Course
Go to DashboardCreating a course is the first step to start your AI-powered learning journey.
Go to Courses
Click "Courses" in the left sidebar to open the course list page.
Click the "Add New Course" Card
At the end of the course grid, click the dashed-border card with the "+" icon.
Fill in Course Details
In the "Create Course" dialog, enter the "Course Title" (required) and select a "Course Language" (required, choose from Chinese / English / Others). Optionally fill in Description, Credits (0–10), Start Date, and End Date.
Click "Create Course"
Click the "Create Course" button at the bottom-right of the dialog. Your new course card will appear in the course grid.
You can organize your courses by subject or semester for easier management.
Upload Course Materials
Go to CoursesUpload your lecture slides, textbooks, and notes for AI analysis. Supports PDF, PPT/PPTX, and DOC/DOCX formats.
Open a Course
Click on a course card in the course list to enter the course detail page. The "Materials" tab is selected by default.
Click "Upload File"
Click the "Upload File" button at the top-right of the Materials tab.
Select Files
In the upload dialog, drag & drop files into the upload area, or click to browse your device. Supported formats: PDF, PPT/PPTX, DOC/DOCX.
Wait for Processing
Each file shows a processing progress bar with stages: Extracting → Analyzing → Generating → Summarizing → Finishing. The file card shows a "Processing" badge with a percentage until complete.
For best results, upload clear, text-based documents. Scanned documents may have reduced accuracy.
View Course Details & PDF Viewer
Go to CoursesOpen course materials in the built-in PDF viewer with a rich knowledge panel on the right side.
Open a Material
In the "Materials" tab, click the "View" button (eye icon) on any completed file card to open it in the PDF viewer.
Navigate the PDF
The top toolbar provides: Home button (go to page 1), Previous/Next page arrows, a page number input field showing "current / total", Zoom out (−), Zoom percentage (click to reset to 100%), Zoom in (+), and a Rotate button.
Explore the Right Panel Tabs
The right panel has 4 tabs at the top: Summary (book icon — auto-generated overview), Knowledge (lightbulb icon — extracted key concepts with count badge), Notes (sticky note icon — your highlights and annotations with count badge), and Chats (sparkles icon — past AI conversation highlights with count badge).
Use the AI Chat Area
At the bottom of the right panel, click the floating "Ask anything" bubble to expand the AI chat. You can type questions, select an AI model, and see your Q&A usage quota. Drag the top edge to resize the chat area.
The right panel can be collapsed by clicking the panel close button. Click the floating chat bubble anytime to reopen the AI assistant.
Manage Collaborators
Go to CoursesInvite others to collaborate on your course. Collaborators can view or edit course materials depending on their assigned role.
Open the Collaborators Dialog
On the course detail page, click the three-dot menu (⋮) at the top-right corner, then select "Collaborators" from the dropdown. A dialog opens showing the collaborator list.
Add a Collaborator by Email
In the dialog, enter the person's email address in the "Enter email address" input field and click the "Add" button. The user must already have an AITA account — if not found, you'll see a "User not found" error. You cannot add yourself.
View Collaborator List
The dialog shows each collaborator with their avatar, name, email, and a "Can edit" role badge. If no one has been added yet, it shows "No collaborators".
Remove a Collaborator
Click the X button next to a collaborator's role badge to revoke their access. Only the course owner can add or remove collaborators.
Collaborators with the "editor" role can upload materials, create practice sets, and use all AI features on the course. You cannot add yourself as a collaborator.
Share a Course
Go to CoursesGenerate a public link to share your course with anyone — no login required to view.
Open Course Detail Page
Navigate to the course you want to share.
Click "Share"
Click the "Share" button at the top-right of the page (next to the "Edit" button).
Copy the Share Link
A popover appears with the share URL. Click the copy icon — it will change to a checkmark (✓) and show a "Share link copied" toast notification.
Send the Link
Send the copied link to anyone. They can view the course title, description, and material list without needing an AITA account.
Shared courses are read-only for viewers. If you want someone to upload or edit materials, add them as a collaborator via the three-dot menu instead.
Join a Shared Course
Go to CoursesJoin a course that has been shared with you via a link. The course content will be synced to your account.
Open the Share Link
Click or paste the share link you received into your browser. It opens the course share page showing the course title, language, and a "Course Files" list.
Click "Join"
Click the "Join" button at the top-right of the share page to add this course to your account. You must be logged in — if not, you'll be redirected to the sign-in page first.
Access the Course
After joining, the course appears in your course list. You can access all shared materials and use AI features (knowledge points, Q&A, practice) on them.
You cannot join your own course. Joined courses sync the original content to your account so you can study independently.
Edit / Delete a Course
Go to CoursesUpdate your course details or permanently remove a course.
Edit a Course
On the course detail page, click the "Edit" button at the top-right. The "Edit Course" dialog opens with pre-filled fields: Title, Description, Credits, Language, Start Date, and End Date. Modify any field and click "Update Course" to save.
Delete a Course

Confirm Deletion
Click "Delete" in the confirmation dialog to permanently remove the course. Click "Cancel" to abort. This action cannot be undone.
Deleting a course permanently removes all associated materials, knowledge points, practice sets, AI chat history, and collaborator relationships.
