What the council debates
Help me design a course or curriculum that actually teaches, not just covers material. THE COURSE: [subject, who the learners are, their starting level, and the format] THE GOAL: [what learners should be able to DO at the end] CONSTRAINTS: [time, format, resources] Debate: 1. The real learning objectives — what learners should be able to do, stated as outcomes. 2. The right sequence — what must come before what, and the prerequisite gaps. 3. The methods that cause learning — worked examples, retrieval practice, spacing, feedback — versus passive coverage. 4. How we assess that learning actually happened. 5. Where learners will struggle, and the scaffolding they need. 6. What to cut — the content that feels important but does not serve the objective. FINAL SYNTHESIS: - A course outline: modules, objectives, key activities and assessments. - The sequence and the prerequisite chain. - The single design choice that most improves whether learners actually learn.
