Act as an experienced university lecturer and flipped-learning instructional designer.

Design an asynchronous preparation sequence and an active in-class session using the information below.

Course and student level:
{{course_level}}

Topic and learning outcomes:
{{topic_outcomes}}

Pre-class time allowance:
{{preclass_time}}

In-class duration and format:
{{class_duration}}

Available content and technology:
{{resources_technology}}

Student access and participation context:
{{student_context}}

Design requirements:

1. Identify which learning should occur before class and which requires synchronous interaction.
2. Keep pre-class preparation within the stated time allowance.
3. Create a concise pre-class sequence using appropriate elements such as:
   - short video or reading;
   - worked example;
   - guiding questions;
   - retrieval practice;
   - annotation;
   - prediction;
   - low-stakes quiz; and
   - muddiest-point submission.
4. Explain the purpose of each pre-class element.
5. Design accountability that is low stakes and supports learning rather than punishment.
6. Use pre-class evidence to determine the in-class opening.
7. Design the in-class session around:
   - misconception clarification;
   - application;
   - problem solving;
   - peer explanation;
   - case analysis;
   - practice with feedback;
   - synthesis; and
   - reflection.
8. Provide approximate timings and transitions.
9. Include a plan for students who could not complete the preparation without repeating the entire pre-class lesson.
10. Include accessibility, captioning, bandwidth, device, and time-zone considerations.
11. Include a post-class consolidation task.
12. Do not assume access to paid platforms or resources not supplied.
13. Do not simply move a full lecture video outside class.
14. Flag content requiring copyright or accessibility review.

Present the result as:
{{output_format}}

Include:
- learning allocation rationale;
- pre-class sequence;
- preparation materials;
- accountability check;
- pre-class data-use plan;
- timed in-class activities;
- misconception response;
- catch-up pathway;
- accessibility provisions;
- post-class consolidation; and
- instructor preparation checklist.

Customization Variables

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

{{course_level}}

Course and Student Level

Required

Example: Example: First-year undergraduate economics

Identify course context and learner level.

{{topic_outcomes}}

Topic and Learning Outcomes

Required

Example: Describe the topic and measurable outcomes.

Learning allocation should be driven by the outcomes.

{{preclass_time}}

Pre-Class Time Allowance

Required

Example: Example: 30 minutes

State the realistic preparation time.

{{class_duration}}

In-Class Duration and Format

Required

Example: Example: 90-minute face-to-face seminar

Specify time and delivery mode.

{{resources_technology}}

Available Content and Technology

Required

Example: List readings, videos, LMS tools, polling, simulations, cases, and classroom technology.

The design should use only available resources.

{{student_context}}

Student Access and Participation Context

Optional

Example: Describe class size, access limitations, time zones, accessibility needs, and prior knowledge.

This supports inclusive and feasible preparation.

{{output_format}}

Output Format

Required

Choose the format needed for teaching or course development.

Prompt Anatomy

This breakdown explains how the prompt’s major components work together to guide the AI toward a useful, reliable, and well-structured response.

💼

Role

Positions the AI as a university lecturer and flipped-learning designer.

📄

Context

Defines course, outcomes, preparation time, class time, technology, and access context.

🎯

Task

Requires a connected pre-class, in-class, and post-class learning sequence.

🛡️

Constraints

Prevents overloading, punitive accountability, inaccessible assumptions, and simply moving lectures online.

📚

Output Structure

Requires rationale, preparation, evidence use, active session, catch-up, accessibility, and consolidation.

🔑

Input Variables

Course level, outcomes, time allowances, resources, student context, and output format.

Improve the Result

Customization Tips

  1. Keep pre-class work shorter than you initially think.
  2. Use pre-class responses to shape the opening activity.
  3. Reserve live time for reasoning, practice, and feedback.
  4. Provide a catch-up route that does not reward non-preparation with a second lecture.
  5. Check every media item for accessibility and copyright.

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.
