The Course Architect Toolkit
The Learner Journey Friction Audit
Drop-off is an architectural variable, not a learner trait.
What it does
Drop-off is an architectural variable, not a learner trait. Rate each stage of the journey and find where your course is losing people.
Before and after


How to use it
- Rate how much friction exists at each stage of the learner journey, with evidence. The audit reads your evidence and names the stage where you're losing people, so the learner stops taking the blame for an architectural gap. For each stage, describe what actually happens, then rate how much friction exists there (0 = smooth, 10 = learners stall or leave).
