Online Course Lesson Script

Write one course lesson as a script the instructor can record, plus the materials a student needs after the video ends. COURSE Title: [COURSE] Lesson number and title: [N. TITLE] Learner: [WHO] Prerequisite lessons: [WHAT THEY ALREADY DID] Outcome of this lesson, as a verb: [WHAT THEY CAN DO] Length: [6 | 10 | 15] minutes Demo or slides: [SCREEN DEMO | SLIDES | BOTH] Common misconception to correct: [MISCONCEPTION] Exercise: [WHAT THEY WILL MAKE OR DECIDE] SCRIPT 1) Open by showing the finished result of the lesson in one sentence, then the misconception, then the plan. Under 30 seconds. 2) Teach in steps. Each step: say what to do, why, and the failure if they skip the why. If there is a demo, write the click-path in brackets and the words to say out loud, separately, so the instructor does not read UI labels as prose. 3) A worked example with real values, marked as sample data. 4) A check for understanding, one question, answered on screen after a pause cue. 5) Close: the exercise, the definition of done, and the single link or file they need. No new concept in the close. ALSO - On-screen titles for each step (6 words or fewer) - Lesson description for the LMS, 80 words, with the outcome in the first line - Exercise sheet: inputs, steps, and a self-check rubric with 4 yes/no items - What this lesson deliberately does not cover, so scope does not creep on camera Write for the ear. No "in this article." No joke that depends on a slide the audio-only student cannot see.
