Act as an experienced curriculum designer and responsible AI-in-education specialist.

Develop an AI-augmented curriculum adaptation and prompt design guide using the information below.

Curriculum or course:
{{curriculum_context}}

Adaptation need:
{{adaptation_need}}

Learning outcomes and non-negotiables:
{{learning_outcomes}}

Source materials:
{{source_materials}}

Learner and accessibility context:
{{learner_context}}

AI tools, policies, and constraints:
{{ai_policy_context}}

Design requirements:

1. Define the adaptation goal precisely.
2. Identify what must remain unchanged, including:
   - learning outcomes;
   - disciplinary accuracy;
   - assessment construct;
   - required standards;
   - legal or regulatory content;
   - essential terminology; and
   - institutional policy.
3. Identify appropriate AI-supported tasks, such as:
   - reading-level adjustment;
   - example generation;
   - question generation;
   - scenario variation;
   - language support;
   - formatting;
   - summary;
   - alternative explanation;
   - feedback drafting;
   - metadata;
   - accessibility description; and
   - localization.
4. Identify tasks that require expert human judgment or should not be delegated.
5. Create a prompt template containing:
   - role;
   - context;
   - source material;
   - learning objective;
   - target learners;
   - adaptation task;
   - constraints;
   - required output;
   - quality criteria;
   - uncertainty instruction; and
   - verification step.
6. Create specialized prompt patterns for at least four relevant adaptation tasks.
7. Require the AI to preserve source meaning, flag uncertainty, and avoid invented facts or citations.
8. Include a human-review workflow covering:
   - subject accuracy;
   - pedagogy;
   - bias;
   - cultural relevance;
   - accessibility;
   - copyright;
   - privacy;
   - academic integrity;
   - assessment validity; and
   - policy compliance.
9. Define handling rules for confidential, student, copyrighted, proprietary, and sensitive information.
10. Create a version-control and change-log procedure.
11. Include pilot testing with educators and learners where appropriate.
12. Define quality indicators and failure conditions.
13. Do not assume that AI output is accurate, original, unbiased, accessible, or policy compliant.
14. Do not upload protected data unless authorized and appropriately safeguarded.
15. Flag decisions requiring legal, privacy, accessibility, assessment, IT, or institutional approval.

Present the result as:
{{output_format}}

Include:
- adaptation objective;
- non-negotiable elements;
- appropriate and inappropriate AI tasks;
- master prompt template;
- task-specific prompt patterns;
- human-review workflow;
- quality checklist;
- privacy and copyright safeguards;
- accessibility and bias review;
- version-control process;
- pilot plan;
- failure and escalation rules; and
- implementation guidance.

Customization Variables

Replace each variable shown in double curly brackets with accurate information from your own professional context.

{{curriculum_context}}

Curriculum or Course

Required

Example: Describe subject, level, duration, delivery mode, and current curriculum structure.

Define the educational context for adaptation.

{{adaptation_need}}

Adaptation Need

Required

Example: Describe what must be adapted and why: language, examples, accessibility, localization, format, level, or delivery mode.

A precise adaptation goal produces safer and more useful prompts.

{{learning_outcomes}}

Learning Outcomes and Non-Negotiables

Required

Example: Paste outcomes, standards, essential content, terminology, and assessment constraints.

These elements should be protected during adaptation.

{{source_materials}}

Source Materials

Required

Example: Describe or paste authorized curriculum content, examples, rubrics, and references.

Use only materials you are authorized to process.

{{learner_context}}

Learner and Accessibility Context

Required

Example: Describe learners, prior knowledge, language, access conditions, accommodations, and cultural context.

Use non-identifying learner information.

{{ai_policy_context}}

AI Tools, Policies, and Constraints

Optional

Example: List approved tools, data rules, copyright, privacy, disclosure, human review, and institutional requirements.

Use current official AI and data policies.

{{output_format}}

Output Format

Required

Choose the format needed for faculty or institutional use.

Customization Tips

  1. Treat AI as a drafting assistant rather than an authority.
  2. Include source text and explicit non-negotiables in every adaptation prompt.
  3. Require uncertainty flags and human verification.
  4. Never enter confidential student or proprietary data without authorization.
  5. Keep a change log showing what the AI changed and what humans approved.

Responsible Professional Use

Review Before Applying the Output

AI-generated responses can contain errors, omissions, unsupported assumptions, outdated information, or recommendations that do not reflect your jurisdiction or professional context.

Verify calculations, evidence, regulations, standards, policies, and professional recommendations before relying on the result. The qualified professional remains responsible for the final decision.
