v2. Audit and Update your Curriculum - by Deepseek
NOTE: This is just a prototype of the App. The current prototype is like a movie set -- it looks and feels real from the front, but all the "magic" is pre-written. A real-world application is like a functional building. It needs plumbing (a backend), a foundation (a database), and connections to city services (external APIs).

The AI-Ready Curriculum Playbook
This playbook is a practical guide designed to empower university leaders, program directors, and faculty to streamline the often complex process of curriculum modernization. By leveraging a series of structured AI prompts, this playbook helps you efficiently audit your current programs, identify gaps between academic offerings and real-world job market demands, and generate actionable materials for creating future-ready courses. In short, it turns the challenge of AI integration into a manageable, step-by-step opportunity.
How to Use This Playbook
- Choose a public AI tool like ChatGPT (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), or Claude.
- For each prompt, first paste your relevant curriculum text (e.g., your full Mission Statement) into the AI chat window.
- Click the "Copy Prompt" button below your chosen prompt.
- Paste the copied prompt directly after your own text in the AI chat window and press Enter.
- Critically review the AI's output. Use it as a first draft or a source of inspiration, not a final answer.
Do not paste any private, confidential, or personally identifiable student or faculty data into public AI tools. Publicly available models may use your input data for training purposes. This playbook is intended for use with non-sensitive, publicly available institutional documents like mission statements, course catalogs, and anonymized learning outcomes.
