Public pilot · 8 weeks
Test one difficult sequence before transforming an entire course.
The pilot gives a faculty something real enough to judge content, use, accessibility and maintainability, without assuming a full engagement is already justified.
Included
One representative, transferable slice.
- Focused diagnosis of assets and the point of friction
- Sequence map and review criteria
- One representative case, visual or interactive prototype
- Academic and accessibility review within scope
- Sources, decision log and operating notes
Not included by default
What the pilot does not promise.
- Complete-course redesign or LMS migration
- Causal learning-outcome study
- Processing identifiable student data
- Certified conformance in every future environment
- Production without subject-matter availability
Schedule
Eight weeks, eight visible decisions.
Times below are planning allowances to refine in the statement of work. Indicative total: sponsor ≈ 5 hours; subject-matter expert ≈ 10 hours.
| Week | Focus | Reviewable output | Client decision | Sponsor | Expert |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Decision and evidence | Pilot charter, source inventory and risk log | Approve the problem, audience and boundary | 60 min | 90 min |
| 02 | Learning-sequence map | Current-state and target-sequence map | Approve prerequisites and sequence | 30 min | 90 min |
| 03 | Applied-case direction | Case brief, assumptions and assessment link | Select the representative case | 30 min | 90 min |
| 04 | Visual and interaction prototype | Reviewable low-fidelity prototype | Approve the representation before build | 45 min | 90 min |
| 05 | Representative production | Editable content and first production slice | Confirm the production pattern | 30 min | 60 min |
| 06 | Integration and accessibility | Integrated slice and accessibility review log | Prioritise remediation | 30 min | 60 min |
| 07 | Academic validation | Content review, revisions and evidence summary | Accept or assign remaining findings | 45 min | 90 min |
| 08 | Handover and next decision | Source package, operating notes and scale options | Stop, iterate or scale with evidence | 60 min | 60 min |
Institution roles
- Sponsor: priorities, scope, trade-offs and final decision.
- Subject-matter expert: accuracy, prerequisites, progression and assessment criteria.
- Specialist reviewers: accessibility, platform, rights or brand as needed.
Starting assumptions
- Access to non-sensitive assets and one clearly bounded sequence.
- Review windows held in the agreed week.
- No identifiable student data required.
- The target environment is known before integration.
Exit criterion
Stop, iterate or scale with evidence in hand.
At the end, the institution has the completed slice, the source files defined in scope, the review log, known limitations and three continuation options. Pilot success is judged by the quality of that decision and handover, not an invented learning metric.
