The idea is to create a reusable course generator Val designed with effective, research-backed learning techniques in mind. That includes techniques like spaced repetition (via an interval between email lessons), retrieval practice (quizzing and fill-in-the-blank), elaboration and reflection (writing exercises). The Val(s) will include:
- Email signup and verification
- Template to fill in with course content
- SQLite tables to store students and track progress
- Cron job to send lessons to students
As the first use case for this generalizable course creator, I plan to make a course about Make It Stick, which is a practical book about learning research that gave me the idea.
I'm writing more about the implementation on my digital garden, which is also where you'll find the signup form.
