[A02] Finalise your blueprint

📋 Instructions

You’ll return to your work-in-progress blueprint and finalise the structure by organising your lessons, assignments and resources into balanced and well-ordered modules.

👣 Steps

Note: Before starting, I recommend exporting or taking a copy of your current blueprint in case you need to refer to it again or revert to its previous state.

To complete this assignment you’ll need to:

1. [Step: Renaming] Convert the high-level achievements to modules, simply by renaming the “ACHIEVE” entries to “MODULE”.
2. [Step: Reordering] Review the current order of the modules and make sure it is still the most effective journey through the work you need students to complete. If not, reorder the modules as necessary.
3. [Step: Balancing] Review the relative size of the modules and identify any that are conspicuously larger or smaller than the average, or their immediate neighbours. Use the “special moves” described in the lesson – Splitting, Combining and Migrating – to balance the content without changing the overall order. Remember to:
4. Preserve the logical boundaries between the enclosing LEARN/DO chunks.
5. Rename or relabel any module whose content has changed to make sure the description is still accurate.
6. [Step: Flattening] Remove the LEARN/DO chunks from your blueprint, taking care to keep the building blocks beneath them.
7. [Optional] Add a little more personality by giving your modules, lessons, and assignments “snappier” titles. Alternatively you can save this step for the next module, where you’ll start creating your course content.

🤖 AI Accelerators

You can use the following AI prompts to help you complete your assignment.

💬 Brainstorming module, lesson and assignment titles

I am creating an online course which helps [Group] to [Result(s)] so that [Reason]. One [Module/Lesson/Assignment] will cover [Topic]. Please suggest some engaging titles (maximum 50 characters).

Example:

I am creating an online course which helps small business owners to launch an email newsletter so that they can build an audience and generate qualified leads. One lesson will cover how to choose the right subtopics for the newsletter. Please suggest some engaging titles.

💬 Refining title suggestions

Once your AI has generated some title suggestions you can refine them using any of the following follow-up prompts (or combinations of them).

Please repeat the task but lead with a verb and write in the second person, i.e., you, your, etc.

Please repeat the task but phrase each suggestion as a question.

Please repeat the task but make sure each title starts with "How to".
