Refining Activities

Generated activities are starting points. This recipe shows how to review and improve them.

Goal

Take a generated lecture or assessment and refine it to match your teaching style and course needs.

Review checklist

For each generated activity, check:

• Accuracy — Does the content correctly represent the source material?
• Completeness — Are all assigned concepts covered?
• Level — Is the difficulty appropriate for your students?
• Flow — Does the material build logically?
• Tone — Does it match your teaching style?

Refinement strategies

• Edit directly — modify text, add your own examples, adjust explanations
• Regenerate with feedback — tell Chelle what to change ("make the introduction more engaging" or "add more real-world examples")
• Adjust scope — add or remove concepts from the unit to change what the activity covers

Tips

• Focus on the structure first, then refine the details
• If an activity doesn't feel right, check the concept mapping — the issue might be upstream
• Generated assessments benefit most from refinement, especially the rubric
