Course Planner

Education

Plan course units with competency mapping and time allocation.

Course Planner takes a unit concept and produces a structured plan covering context, competency alignment, topic breakdowns, and time estimates. It enforces that topic times sum to allocated hours. You get a complete unit plan ready for downstream development.

Pain points

Planning a single course unit takes days of mapping competencies and estimating time.
Topic allocations frequently exceed or fall short of the unit's total hours.
No standardised format means every planner produces different quality output.
