Description
The full toolkit behind Course Architect OS: the Course Architecture Canvas, Design Principles Auditor, Laws & Logic Check, Cognitive Load Auditor, Retention Engine, Engagement Architecture tool, and Practitioner Stance tool — covering all six pillars the course teaches: architecture, principles, logic, cognitive load, retention, and practitioner identity. Use it to audit a course you’ve already built, or to design one from scratch against a proven pillar system instead of guesswork.
