Create a course

instructor

Start a course by setting its name, audience, duration, tier, and presentation model. The AI then drafts an editable outline.

Summary

A course starts as a short brief. Nalanda turns it into an editable outline, then a slide tree.

Steps

  1. Instructor -> New course.
  2. Fill name, audience, duration (minutes), and tier (Basic / Professional / Expert).
  3. Optionally add scope, deliverables, and rough input (briefs or references for the AI).
  4. Choose a presentation model (field 08) - the structure the AI builds to. Minto is the default.
  5. Save. You land on the outline page, ready to generate or write the plan.

Notes & tips

  • You can edit every course detail later from the course page (Edit), including the model.
  • Changing the presentation model does not rewrite existing content - re-generate or re-tidy to apply it.
