The Cinematic Curriculum Method Toolkit
The Worldbuilding Designer
A course is a world the learner enters.
What it does
A course is a world the learner enters. Build its three layers — aesthetic, conceptual, emotional — and check they align.
Before and after
How to use it
- Describe and rate each layer of your course's world. The designer draws them as nested rings and checks for the thing that quietly breaks immersion: layers that are thin, or that pull against each other. Work from the surface inward. Describe the evidence for each layer, then rate how fully it's built (0 = absent, 10 = richly realised).
