Wolverine Course Design Assistant-AI-powered course design assistant

Example

A professor wants to revise their course on environmental science to include clearer learning goals. The assistant guides them in crafting specific, measurable objectives, such as 'By the end of this course, students will be able to analyze the impact of human activity on climate change using data from scientific studies.'

Scenario

In an introductory course, an instructor may struggle with vague objectives like 'Understand climate change.' The assistant refines this objective to make it actionable and measurable, ensuring students’ progress can be effectively assessed.

Example

For a course in modern history, the assistant helps the instructor break down dense reading material into manageable sections, each focused on a specific historical period or event. The assistant recommends embedding formative assessments between modules to reinforce learning.

Scenario

In an online course, a history instructor faces difficulty in maintaining student attention through long lectures. The assistant suggests breaking the lectures into shorter, thematic videos paired with reflection questions and discussions to promote deeper engagement.

Example

An instructor of a business management course seeks advice on assessments. The assistant suggests combining case studies and simulations with multiple-choice quizzes, aligning each with the respective learning objectives such as 'Apply management theories to solve real-world business problems.'

Scenario

A business instructor uses multiple-choice quizzes as the primary assessment method. The assistant recommends introducing case studies as a more authentic assessment, where students can demonstrate practical application of theoretical concepts.
