COURSE STUDIO

Approvals

Three times in every run, Course Studio stops and waits for you. Each stop shows what it made and a short list of what to look for. You either Approve and it moves on, or Send back with notes and it makes that part again.

The three stops

Each approval moves the run on; sending back makes that part again with your notes.

1. The outline

The chapters, each with its sections and tasks. Each section becomes a book section and a video. Select a chapter to see its sections and tasks.

What to look for:

Does the order make sense for a beginner?
Is anything in the curriculum missing?

Send it back with notes such as “make it 8 chapters” or “add VAT”, and the engine writes it again.

2. The computer and apps

The computer the labs run on, and whether it was decided by a fixed rule or by the model when no rule decides. Then the apps on the computer (only the apps this course opens) and every task with where it goes.

The app-gap report lists tasks that need a new ability in an app, or a new app altogether. If it’s empty, every task fits an app that exists. If you approve with gaps, those chapters stop with “needs a new app”.

3. Each chapter’s checks

Before a chapter’s media is made, it’s checked: the lab is run and the chapter is reviewed. You see the lab, the book page as learners will read it, the test (select Show answers), the video scripts, and the results of the checks. Errors stop the chapter; notes are for you. When everything passed you’ll see “Every lint passed and the review found nothing.”

What to look for: are the lab tasks things people really do at work?

Lab run	5 of 5 steps checked	Passed

Test	the right answer is the longest too often	Note

A chapter's checks with one error.

Sending back

Write what to change: the engine makes it again with your notes. At a chapter, tick which parts to make again (lab, views and figures, book, test, video scripts). With none ticked, it makes all of them.
