The operating problem

Why this work needs a defined handoff.

A course can have sound instruction while its links, dates, module states, and facilitator notes drift apart. Educators then spend delivery time finding preventable setup errors.

Scope

Work the role can support

  • Build modules from approved course plans
  • Maintain release calendars and routine settings
  • Check links, labels, and learner facing files
  • Track requested changes through review and publication

Inputs

What your team provides

  • Approved syllabus or course map
  • Current content files and naming rules
  • Release calendar and platform access
  • Content owner for instructional questions

Workflow

A reviewable path from request to handoff.

  1. Reconcile the plan

    Compare the syllabus, course map, and release calendar before making platform changes.

  2. Prepare the build

    Create or update modules, links, labels, and settings from approved material.

  3. Run the delivery check

    Inspect learner visibility, links, dates, and file versions against the launch checklist.

  4. Publish or route

    Publish only where authority is documented and route instructional uncertainty to the content owner.

Deliverables

Outputs you can inspect

  • Review-ready course modules
  • Release and change calendar
  • Link and visibility check log
  • Open content question list

Quality controls

Checks that support review

  • Prelaunch view using the learner perspective
  • Version label on approved source files
  • Two source check for dates that appear in multiple places
  • Change log with reviewer and publication state

Boundaries and human decisions

Capability includes knowing when to stop.

Educators retain curriculum, assessment, grading, and instructional decisions.

The assistant does not rewrite substantive content without an approved brief.

Platform changes with unclear learner impact remain unpublished until review.

Examples

What this can look like in practice.

New cohort setup

Duplicate an approved course shell, replace cohort dates, verify visibility, and present the shell for owner review.

Content revision release

Replace the approved file, check every linked location, record the version, and archive the superseded asset.

Frequently asked questions

Clarify the role before work begins.

Can the assistant design the curriculum?

Not within this service. The assistant administers approved material while the educator owns curriculum and teaching choices.

Which platform can this support?

The workflow can be adapted to your learning platform when access, conventions, and a review path are available.

Should the assistant publish changes directly?

Only when publication authority and a tested checklist are explicit. New or high impact changes should be reviewed first.
