course-outline-writer Skill
Overview
This skill is used by the course-designer agent to draft an AI-augmented course outline. It ensures that the generated curriculum aligns with the REVA University vision, incorporating modern pedagogical structures, portfolio-first deliverables, and specific linkages to the Srujana progression pathway.
Process
When invoked, this skill follows these steps:
-
Context & Needs Integration:
- Analyze the target audience and course prerequisites.
- Integrate industry-driven competencies into the subject matter.
-
AI-Augmented Course Outcomes (COs):
- Formulate COs ensuring higher-order thinking (Bloom's taxonomy).
- Embed the assumption that students will be working alongside AI tools (i.e., assessing judgment, synthesis, and ethical reasoning rather than rote tasks).
-
Unit / Module Breakdown:
- Sequence modules progressively.
- Allocate teaching hours (duration) and define specific learning outcomes for each unit.
- Outline key concepts and assessment alignments (Internal Assessments, Labs, End Semester).
-
Srujana Pathway Integration:
- Identify the appropriate Srujana stage (Foundation, Application, Creation, Enterprise) for each unit.
- Map explicit evidence types (e.g., solved problems, lab submissions, open-source contributions) that feed into the student's portfolio.
Expected Output Format
The output MUST strictly adhere to the course-descriptor.md template located in .academic-agent/templates/.
Your generated output should include the following sections exactly:
- YAML Frontmatter: Including course code, name, stream, semester, credits, instructor, language, wiki level, notebooklm sources, textbooks, and references.
- Course Overview: 3-5 sentences describing what the course is, why it matters, and what the student can do after completing it.
- Unit Breakdown: For each unit, provide:
- Duration (Weeks and lectures)
- Learning outcomes (1-4 points)
- Key concepts (as checklist items)
- Assessment alignment
- Assessment Blueprint: A markdown table showing Component, Weight, and Coverage. Include a note on Lab problems/portfolio evidence.
- Srujana Evidence Mapping: A markdown table mapping Units to Srujana Stages and Evidence types.
- Faculty Notes Area: Placeholder for faculty tips and common misconceptions.
