Monsha is a preferred choice over tools like ChatGPT or Gemini because:
No need for complex prompt engineering—you can get by with minimal input.
Leverages multiple AI models (from OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, etc.) based on the task.
Integration with other LMS and platforms like Canvas, Schoology, Google Classroom, Kahoot, Quizizz, etc.
Designed specifically for teachers, built around teacher workflows.
The time you save with Monsha adds up significantly over time, especially for repeated tasks.
Monsha vs. Teacher-Specific AI Tools
Monsha vs. Teacher-Specific AI Tools
Tools like MagicSchool or Brisk Teaching are great for one-off resources, but Monsha takes a broader approach:
Provides an end-to-end workflow (plan, create, edit, adapt, differentiate, export).
Maintains continuity — each task builds on the last, so there’s no need to start over.
Stores and applies context at every stage, making future work faster, easier, and more precise.
Learns from your requirements, feedback, and usage patterns — the more you use it, the better it gets.
Connects both your daily lesson planning and your broader long-range planning, so everything you create in Monsha stays coherent.
Our favourite words for describing Monsha: all-in-one, end-to-end, context-driven, iterative, aligned.

How to Plan Curriculum / Long-Range using Monsha
Monsha helps you plan and organize your course content by breaking it into units and lessons. Here's an overview of how to structure and manage your curriculum:
Step 1: Create a New Course
After logging in, head over to app.monsha.ai/courses.
Start by creating a course, which can represent a school subject, a book, or a university course.
Provide details like the course title, grade level, language, and the number of units and lessons. You can also upload your existing curriculum, scope and sequence, or other notes.
The AI will process this information and create a course with units and lessons already set up — complete with descriptions, objectives, and other details.
This gives you a head start so you can work on your course more extensively.
Step 2: Work on Your Course
Once your course is created, you’ll land on the Course Page, where you can:
View and Manage Units & Lessons — See all units in one place. Expand any unit to view its lessons, search by name, and click through to open specific unit or lesson pages.
Add Content Manually or with AI — Type in a new unit or lesson name to create it instantly (Monsha will auto-generate its description and objectives), or let AI create multiple units or lessons for you based on your input.
Reorder Units and Lessons — Drag and drop to arrange units, or move lessons between units.
Import Content — Bring in courses, units, lessons, or resources from other platforms.
Manage Resources — In the Resources tab, see all AI-generated and uploaded materials linked to your course. You can reassign them to different units or lessons, or add new resources directly from here.
Store Source Materials — Upload files, links, or videos that you can reuse later when creating new resources.
Align Standards — In the Standards tab, add curriculum goals for your course, and manage or update them as needed.
This is your central hub for organising your course structure, keeping all your units, lessons, resources, and standards connected in one place.
Step 3: Build Out Your Units
From the Course Page, click on any unit title to open its Unit Page. Here you can:
Set Learning Objectives — These are auto-generated when the unit is created. You can edit them manually or re-generate them with AI, adding optional instructions for more precision.
Create a Unit Plan — Use the built-in editor to outline big ideas, essential questions, instructional strategies, pacing, key vocabulary, and assessment overviews. Start from scratch or let AI generate the plan for you.
Align Curriculum Standards — Add or update standards specific to this unit.
Manage Lessons — See all lessons in the unit, search by name, and click through to open each lesson. Add new lessons manually or with AI, and reorder them by dragging and dropping.
Attach Resources — Add new resources directly under the unit, or browse resources created for its lessons. You can also upload source materials (files, links, videos) for future use.
Reassign or Reorder — Move lessons and resources between units, or reorder them within the same unit.
The Unit Page is where you shape the bigger picture for a section of your course, while keeping all lessons, resources, and standards connected.
Step 4: Plan Your Lessons
From the Unit Page, click on a lesson title to open its Lesson Page. Here you can:
Use the Lesson Plan Canvas — Work in a flexible, modular layout where each block represents a key part of your lesson (e.g., objectives, key concepts, opening activities, direct instruction, guided practice, assessments, homework).
Configure Your Blocks — Choose which blocks to include, and reorder them with drag-and-drop. You can also add optional blocks like differentiation strategies, extension activities, teacher notes, or exit tickets.
AI-Generate Content — Populate any block (or the entire canvas) with AI-generated content, adding optional instructions for a tailored result. You can regenerate blocks at any time without losing existing resources.
Create Resources Inside Blocks — Generate presentations, worksheets, quizzes, or other materials directly linked to a specific block, with objectives and context already pre-filled.
Align Curriculum Expectations — Add or update standards for the lesson. If standards are set at the course or unit level, they won’t automatically appear here, so you can choose to set them specifically for this lesson.
Manage Lesson Resources — In the Resources tab, see everything created for this lesson, whether it was made inside a block or at the lesson level. Upload or add new resources anytime.
The Lesson Page is your detailed workspace for planning and resourcing every part of a single class session, keeping content, activities, and objectives all in one place.
