Why it works
Experts earn more teaching than doing, but most cannot structure knowledge for retention. AI accelerates the instructional-design scaffolding, yet only the designer can spot when an expert's explanation contradicts pedagogical best practice.
How it makes money
One-off project
How to start
- Interview the expert for 90 minutes and record the tacit knowledge that never makes it into slide decks.<br>2. Use AI to map learning objectives to Bloom's taxonomy and sequence modules for spaced repetition.<br>3. Deliver a complete curriculum package: module outlines, slide scripts, homework prompts and assessment rubrics.<br>4. Validate every AI-suggested learning activity against the expert's actual student feedback from past workshops.
