Course Designer
An AI-powered teaching skill that reviews a course syllabus, identifies pedagogical strengths and areas for improvement, and helps instructors turn selected recommendations into ready-to-use teaching materials.
A syllabus review, followed through
- The syllabus
- Two exams and a staged group research project. The objectives mainly emphasise knowing and explaining concepts.
- The review
- The project asks students to evaluate research evidence, but that capability is not explicit in the objectives.
- The instructor’s choice
- Keep the assessments and weights. Develop a project-level learning objective.
Evaluate organizational practices using relevant organizational behaviour theories and credible research evidence, considering contextual factors, competing explanations, and potential unintended consequences.
How it works: Upload, Review, Improve
Upload. Review. Improve.
A short first review, followed by the improvements you choose.
Start with the course you have
In your AI assistant, share a syllabus or course outline with the skill. A syllabus is enough to begin; additional documents are optional.
Open the quick-start guide (opens in a new tab)Find what is worth keeping and changing
Read a concise review of strengths, consequential priorities and questions to verify. The example separates a documented alignment issue from possible improvements that need more evidence.
Read the sample review (opens in a new tab)Turn a chosen priority into usable material
Select one or more recommendations. The sample follows an instructor who keeps the assessments and weights unchanged, then develops a proposed objective and assessment map.

What to bring
A syllabus is enough to begin. Add an assignment brief, rubric or sample questions if you want a closer review of a particular issue.
The first review identifies strengths, up to three priorities and questions that need verification. Choose a priority to develop into materials such as revised objectives, an assessment map or assignment instructions. Keep the course constraints you need to preserve.
Suggestions remain drafts for your judgement and local approval. The skill does not change official course files.
