COURSE STUDIO

What Course Studio does

Course Studio builds a course for you. You give it a book, a syllabus or both, and a short brief: who the course is for and what they should be able to do. It reads the sources, proposes an outline, picks the computer the labs run on, then writes every chapter. You stay in charge: it stops and waits for you at three points, and nothing is published without your say.

What you get

Each chapter of the finished course has:

  • a lab on the learner’s own computer in the cloud, with steps that are checked on that computer;
  • views and figures: what the learner sees beside the lab, and diagrams for the book;
  • a book chapter in plain words, ending with a summary, key terms and a self-check;
  • a chapter test;
  • video scripts, then the voice and video made from them.
