Course Builder
helio / course-builderGive it the subject, grade level, and pacing. Your AI teammate produces the lesson plan, slide outline, and practice questions for the next class — every week, matched to where the course actually is.
What is Course Builder?
- ·Delivers next week's lesson before you need it: Lesson plan, slide outline, and practice questions matched to exactly where the syllabus is — not a generic template.
- ·Matches practice questions to actual grade level: Each question checked for difficulty; anything off-level gets flagged with a suggested adjustment.
- ·Verifies its own answer explanations: Checked against the lesson's actual content before anything reaches a student.
- ·Adapts when pacing changes mid-course: Tell it the new pacing and the next lesson reflects it — no material for a schedule already passed.

Questions
- Does it know my specific curriculum?
- Give it your syllabus and pacing once, and every subsequent lesson is produced against that specific structure, not a generic course outline.
- Can it grade student work too?
- It can draft answer keys and rubrics, but grading actual student submissions is a separate workflow that still needs your judgment on partial credit and context.
- What if I need to adjust the pacing mid-course?
- Tell it the new pacing and the next lesson prep reflects it — it doesn't keep producing material for a schedule you've already moved past.
- Does it work for non-classroom teaching (corporate training, etc.)?
- Yes — the same workflow applies to any structured teaching context with a defined syllabus and audience level.
