SkillDuck Receives Top Rating "Excellent" in Independent Test by eLearning Journal

SkillDuck - the AI course generator impresses with automated course creation, AI videos, and a structured authoring workflow

Regensburg, March 16, 2026 - The AI course generator SkillDuck from i40 - the future skills company has received the top rating "Excellent" in an independent test conducted by the eLearning Journal. With an overall score of 91 points, the editorial team particularly praised the high level of automation in the creation of digital learning content, the clearly structured production process, and the integration of innovative AI features.

Creating high-quality web-based trainings (WBTs) remains time-consuming for many Learning & Development departments. This is exactly where SkillDuck comes in: the AI-based course generator enables companies to create complete eLearning courses from an initial topic idea within just a few minutes - including learning structure, content, interactions, quiz questions, and visual elements.
AI-powered course creation with a multi-agent system.

At the core of SkillDuck is a multi-agent system, where specialized AI agents take over different steps of course creation. This creates an automated workflow that guides authors step by step from the course idea to the finished training.
At the beginning, users define basic course parameters such as topic, target audience, tone, or desired learning objectives. Based on this information, the platform automatically generates a structured course draft that includes didactically aligned content, interactive elements, and knowledge checks.

At the same time, humans remain an integral part of the process: according to the "human-in-the-loop" principle, authors can review, modify, or expand all generated content at any time. This allows courses to be flexibly adapted to company-specific requirements or existing learning concepts.

AI videos and multilingual learning offerings
The test particularly highlighted the ability to integrate automatically generated explainer videos into learning modules. Based on the course content, SkillDuck creates a script which is then presented as a moderated video by a digital avatar.
In addition, entire courses can be translated into different languages with just a few clicks - an advantage especially for internationally operating companies that want to roll out learning programs globally in a short time.

Strong ratings in all categories

In the eLearning Journal test, SkillDuck achieved consistently high ratings:

• Functions: 4.5 out of 5 stars
• Technology: 4.5 out of 5 stars
• User-friendliness: 5 out of 5 stars

The editorial team particularly praised the guided production process, the balance between AI automation and manual control, as well as the integration of additional media formats such as images and videos.
