Creating Lessons
Lesson Studio gives you three ways to build a lesson:
1. Select learning standards
Build a lesson aligned to specific academic standards.
2. Paste content or prompts
Paste notes, a lesson plan, or an AI prompt to generate a lesson structure.
3. Import files
Upload existing materials such as:
documents
slide decks
websites
other instructional resources
After choosing one of these options, you’ll be prompted to provide additional information. For example, you may need to:
select the standards you want to cover
upload files or links
provide a short description of the lesson
Kira will then generate a lesson outline.
Review and Adjust the Outline: Once the outline appears, you can customize it before generating the full lesson.
You can:
reorder lesson steps
adjust the length of each step
modify the content that will be generated
When you're ready, click Generate to build the full lesson.
Editing Your Lesson
Once the lesson is ready, you can refine it in two ways:
Ask Kira AI — Use the AI assistant to make adjustments in plain language
Edit manually — Click into any step and select the section you want to change
Navigation & Organization
On the left panel, you can reorder or delete lesson steps
Within each step, you can edit or remove any content created by Kira
Drag and drop to reorganize content within and between steps

Publishing and Assigning content
Here's a quick walkthrough of the toolbar at the top of the Lesson Studio:
After the lesson is finished generating and you’re satisfied with each step, click the Publish button. Then, click Assign to to assign the lesson to your students.
You can assign the lesson to:
an entire class
one or more sections
individual students
Before assigning, you can also:
set a lesson title
choose a due date
enable or disable the AI Tutor
adjust assignment settings
When you’re all set, click Assign.
Grading content
Once at least one student has started the lesson, you can begin grading.
To grade a lesson:
Go to the Library
Locate the lesson you want to grade
Click the lesson
Select Grade at the top of the page
This will open the Grader.
In the Grader, you can go through each student’s work. You can see which activities they have Submitted on the left-hand side, and their answers on the right-hand side.
💡 Kira Tip: To save time, you can also click the Grade All With AI in the top right. This will grade each students’ work and provide feedback on their answers! We always recommend double-checking the AI’s responses to ensure quality and accuracy.
After you’ve reviewed their work, you can click Release Grades on the bottom left to finish their grading and send them their score.
