Course Builder

A course from your source, with you in the loop

The builder asks. You answer. Nothing is published until you approve it.

A PDF, Markdown or DOCX file goes in. The interview sets the audience, the length, the tone and how learners should move through the course. The outline shows the lessons and the pages they will cite. You approve it, then you apply and publish.

What happens, in order

The author stays in the loop at the outline, at apply and at publish.

  1. Step 1

    Upload the source

    PDF, Markdown or DOCX. The text of that file is what later lessons are allowed to cite.

  2. Step 2

    Answer the interview

    Audience, level, duration, tone, assessments, language, the shape of the course, the kind of activity, what learners already know, and the style.

  3. Step 3

    Approve the outline

    Modules and lessons appear with the source pages they will use. Writing starts only after you approve.

  4. Step 4

    Review the lessons

    Each block is checked against the cited pages. Unsupported claims are flagged before anyone can publish.

  5. Step 5

    Apply, then publish

    Apply creates the course through the academy's own services. Publishing is a separate step, after the checks.
