Step-by-Step Guide to Automate E-Learning Document Generation

using System;
using Aspose.Words;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Load the course template
        string templatePath = "CourseTemplate.docx";
        Document doc = new Document(templatePath);

        // Populate template with learner's details
        string[] fieldNames = { "LearnerName", "CourseTitle", "StartDate" };
        object[] fieldValues = { "Jane Doe", "Introduction to Programming", "2025-01-17" };

        doc.MailMerge.Execute(fieldNames, fieldValues);

        // Save the personalized material
        doc.Save("PersonalizedCourseMaterial.docx");
        Console.WriteLine("Course material generated successfully.");
    }
}

using System;
using Aspose.Words;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Load the certificate template
        string templatePath = "CertificateTemplate.docx";
        Document doc = new Document(templatePath);

        // Populate certificate with learner's details
        string[] fieldNames = { "LearnerName", "CourseTitle", "CompletionDate" };
        object[] fieldValues = { "Jane Doe", "Introduction to Programming", "2025-01-20" };

        doc.MailMerge.Execute(fieldNames, fieldValues);

        // Save the certificate
        doc.Save("CompletionCertificate.docx");
        Console.WriteLine("Completion certificate generated successfully.");
    }
}

        // Append the certificate to the course material
        courseMaterial.AppendDocument(certificate, ImportFormatMode.KeepSourceFormatting);

        // Save the combined document
        courseMaterial.Save("E-LearningPackage.docx");
        Console.WriteLine("E-learning package created successfully.");
    }
}
