Course Creation Framework
The complete system for designing, building, and launching online courses that actually get finished by students.
Whether you're launching your first course or your tenth, this framework eliminates the guesswork. Every template, checklist, and guide is battle-tested across dozens of course launches — from $49 mini-courses to $997 flagship programs.
What's Inside
Templates (Course Design)
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
templates/curriculum-planner.md | Full curriculum architecture — modules, lessons, time estimates, dependencies |
templates/learning-objectives.md | Bloom's Taxonomy-based objective writing framework with verb banks |
templates/lesson-script.md | Scene-by-scene lesson scripting template with hooks, teaching, and CTA |
templates/quiz-assessment.md | Quiz, assignment, and project assessment creation templates |
templates/slide-outline.md | Slide deck structure template — visual + narrative flow |
templates/module-overview.md | Single module design template tying objectives to outcomes |
templates/student-feedback-survey.md | Post-course and mid-course survey templates with scoring |
Guides (Strategy & Decisions)
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
guides/platform-comparison.md | Deep comparison of 12 course platforms — features, pricing, tradeoffs |
guides/pricing-strategy.md | How to price your course — models, psychology, competitive positioning |
guides/content-formats.md | When to use video vs text vs interactive — decision framework |
Checklists (Execution)
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
checklists/pre-launch.md | 47-item checklist: everything before you open the cart |
checklists/launch-week.md | Day-by-day launch sequence with email timing and social cadence |
checklists/post-launch.md | First 30 days after launch — feedback loops, iteration, evergreen setup |
Examples (Worked Module)
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
examples/worked-module-python-testing.md | Complete worked example: Module 3 of a "Python Testing Mastery" course |
examples/worked-lesson-script.md | Full lesson script for "Writing Your First Parametrized Test" |
examples/worked-quiz.md | Complete quiz with answer key and explanation rationale |
examples/worked-curriculum.md | Full 8-module curriculum plan for a mid-tier technical course |
How to Use This Framework
Step 1: Design Your Curriculum (Start Here)
Open templates/curriculum-planner.md and fill in your course's module structure. Use templates/learning-objectives.md to write measurable objectives for each module.
Step 2: Plan Each Module
For each module, copy templates/module-overview.md and fill in the details — lessons, activities, assessments, and time estimates.
Step 3: Script Your Lessons
Use templates/lesson-script.md for every lesson. The template includes hooks, teaching segments, examples, and calls-to-action.
... continues with setup instructions, usage examples, and more.
📄 Content Sample examples/worked-curriculum.md
Worked Example: Full 8-Module Curriculum Plan
Course: "API Design & Development with Python"
Price Tier: Standard ($197)
Target Student: Backend developers (1-3 years experience) who build APIs without a systematic design approach
Format: Self-paced, video + code-along + projects
Estimated Total Duration: 18 hours of content + 12 hours of exercises
Transformation Statement
Students will go from building APIs by trial-and-error with inconsistent patterns, no documentation, and fragile integrations to designing, implementing, and documenting production-quality REST APIs that follow industry standards and delight consumer developers.

| # | Module Title | Core Capability | Lessons | Duration | Prerequisites |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | API Design Thinking | Design APIs from the consumer's perspective | 4 | 2h | None |
| 2 | REST Fundamentals Done Right | Apply REST constraints correctly (not cargo-cult) | 5 | 2.5h | Module 1 |
| 3 | Request & Response Design | Structure requests, responses, and errors consistently | 5 | 2.5h | Modules 1-2 |
| 4 | Authentication & Authorization | Implement JWT, OAuth2, and API keys securely | 5 | 3h | Modules 1-3 |
| 5 | Input Validation & Error Handling | Validate inputs, return structured errors, handle edge cases | 4 | 2h | Modules 1-3 |
| 6 | Documentation & Developer Experience | Create API docs that developers actually use | 4 | 2h | Modules 1-3 |
| 7 | Performance & Scaling | Add pagination, caching, rate limiting, and monitoring | 5 | 2.5h | Modules 1-5 |
| 8 | Capstone: Full API from Spec to Deploy | Build a complete API applying all modules | 4 | 3h | All modules |
Module 1: API Design Thinking
Learning Objective: Design API endpoints from the consumer's perspective, identifying resources, actions, and relationships before writing code.
| Lesson | Topic | Format | Duration | Activity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1 | Who Consumes Your API? | Video (talking head) | 12 min | Map your API's consumers (worksheet) |
| 1.2 | Resources Are Nouns, Not Verbs | Video + text | 15 min | Identify resources in 3 case studies |
| 1.3 | Designing the URL Structure | Code-along | 20 min | Design URL scheme for an e-commerce API |
| 1.4 | API Design First vs Code First | Video + discussion | 12 min | Write an API spec before any code |
Module Assessment: Given a business requirement, produce a resource map and URL design (no code). Peer reviewed.
Common Sticking Points: Confusing actions with resources (e.g., /sendEmail vs POST /emails)
