Abstract: 
This study investigates the comparative effectiveness of two content creation methods in educational settings: the Manual Method, using ChatGPT to generate and upload content to Moodle, and the MoodleSense Method, an AI-powered extension of Moodle for content creation and management. The research evaluated four critical aspects: educator performance, time and resource efficiency, content quality and alignment with curriculum standards, and the impact on educator workload. The results demonstrated that MoodleSense outperformed the Manual Method across all four aspects, offering enhanced time efficiency, better content quality, and stronger alignment with curriculum standards. Furthermore, MoodleSense reduced the educators’ workload by automating key processes, enabling more effective content management. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of AI’s role in education and offer insights into how educators can effectively integrate such technologies to enhance teaching practices.
