SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Enables professors to drive end-to-end course design from concept to syllabus using a structured, multi-agent workflow that ensures learning outcomes govern assessments, scheduling, and policy artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • A six-agent collaboration (design_mentor_agent, outcome_architect_agent, assessment_planner_agent, schedule_planner_agent, syllabus_writer_agent, alignment_auditor_agent) that coordinates to produce a Course Concept Brief, Course Passport, learning outcomes, assessment plan, weekly schedule, and a syllabus.
  • Backward-design discipline: ensures outcomes drive evidence, schedule, and policy alignment with traceable checkpoints.
  • Suitable for new courses and redesigns across disciplines, with built-in governance and policy placeholders in the passport.

Quick Start

Design a new undergraduate course by articulating the course concept with your professor, then let the agent team generate outcomes, plan assessments, map a schedule, and draft the syllabus.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design a university course using backward design?

Backward design for university courses starts by defining learning outcomes first, then building assessments, schedules, and policies that align with those outcomes. This ensures every course artifact traces back to your original educational goals.

What is a Course Passport in higher education curriculum design?

A Course Passport is a governance document that captures your course concept and policy placeholders. It serves as the foundational reference point that guides downstream creation of learning outcomes, assessment plans, and syllabus structures.

How do I align learning outcomes with assessments and syllabus policies?

Aligning learning outcomes with assessments requires a structured pipeline where outcomes govern evidence and scheduling. An alignment auditor reviews the generated assessments, weekly schedule, and syllabus to ensure traceable checkpoints across all artifacts.

Can I use this backward design workflow to redesign existing university courses?

Yes, the backward design workflow suits both new course creation and curriculum redesign across academic disciplines. You can articulate your existing course concept and let the structured process regenerate aligned outcomes, assessments, and schedules.

What do I need to start building a syllabus from a course concept?

To start building a syllabus, you need to articulate your course concept brief. From there, the workflow generates learning outcomes, plans assessments, maps a weekly schedule, and drafts the final syllabus with embedded policies.
