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:

1. Context & Needs Integration:

   • Analyze the target audience and course prerequisites.
   • Integrate industry-driven competencies into the subject matter.

2. 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).

3. 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).

4. 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:

1. YAML Frontmatter: Including course code, name, stream, semester, credits, instructor, language, wiki level, notebooklm sources, textbooks, and references.
2. Course Overview: 3-5 sentences describing what the course is, why it matters, and what the student can do after completing it.
3. Unit Breakdown: For each unit, provide:
   • Duration (Weeks and lectures)
   • Learning outcomes (1-4 points)
   • Key concepts (as checklist items)
   • Assessment alignment
4. Assessment Blueprint: A markdown table showing Component, Weight, and Coverage. Include a note on Lab problems/portfolio evidence.
5. Srujana Evidence Mapping: A markdown table mapping Units to Srujana Stages and Evidence types.
6. Faculty Notes Area: Placeholder for faculty tips and common misconceptions.
