Shiken

Overview

Shiken is an AI-powered platform for creating and selling adaptive online courses. It combines a course builder, AI content generator, learner analytics, and a store into one system. Educators upload documents, add a URL, or write a prompt, and Shiken generates complete course content including formatted text, images, quizzes, and translations. The platform supports courses in any language with single-click translation, and the AI text editor lets creators refine copy, add sections, or adjust formatting after generation. What makes Shiken stand out from standard course platforms is its native adaptive learning features. The platform personalizes the experience for each learner, adjusting content delivery based on performance. A native text-to-speech reader narrates lessons for audio learners, and video plus quiz integration adds interactivity beyond static reading. Creators can sell courses directly through the Shiken store. Learner analytics provide visibility into progress, completion, and assessment results. Shiken is trusted by over 30,000 learners globally and is ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR compliant, which matters for professional and enterprise users.

How It Works

You create a course in Shiken by uploading a document, pasting a URL, or writing a prompt describing the course topic. The AI generates structured course content including formatted lessons, supporting images, and initial quiz questions. You refine the content using the AI text editor, which can rewrite sections, add examples, improve clarity, or change formatting. Once the course is built, you enable features like text-to-speech narration, embedded videos, and graded quizzes. Learners access courses through the Shiken platform and receive personalized content delivery based on their performance. The platform tracks each learner's progress and provides creators with analytics on completion rates, quiz scores, and engagement. Creators on paid plans can list courses in the Shiken store and charge for access, building a revenue stream from their expertise. Team plans allow multiple admin seats and the ability to bring your own LLM API key for custom AI model integration.
