WorldbyFlow for curriculum designers

A unit is a sequence of explanations that has to hold together. WorldbyFlow produces the pieces of that sequence from the record, how something works, what a case shows, what a field asks, and its Studio assembles a full course from them: scope and sequence, unit plans, discussion questions, assessment and capstone.

Written for Designs courses and units for a school, district, or edtech company.·Runs in the Learning domain

Where this fits in your week

Designing courses means producing a great deal of accurate explanatory material and arranging it so each piece prepares for the next. The scans here produce the pieces: a lesson plan for a single session, a mechanism explained cleanly, a case worked end to end, a survey of a whole field, and a study of the pedagogical method the course is built on.

Lead scan

Lesson Plan

3 credits · in-depth · about 2–4 min

A single session planned to a named framework with its materials. The unit of a unit.

Try it on: a subject you already hold an opinion about, so you can grade the result against what you know.

How It Works

2 credits

How something works, explained cleanly from the record: how a vaccine works, how a bill becomes law. The explanatory core of a lesson.

Try it on How vaccines work · How the Federal Reserve sets rates · How a bill becomes law

Case Study

2 credits

One episode worked end to end: setup, what happened, the turning point, the outcome, what it shows. The anchoring case for a unit.

Try it on The Apollo programme · The Manhattan Project · The Green Revolution

Field Study

4 credits

A whole field surveyed: its questions, methods, canonical works and live debates. The scope-and-sequence read before you write one.

Try it on Cognitive science · Linguistics · Ecology · Microeconomics

Method Study

4 credits

The pedagogy the course is built on, studied as a method: origin, evidence, failure modes. Project-based learning is a claim, and this grades it.

Try it on Project-based learning · The Socratic method · Spaced repetition · Direct instruction
A working path

From a first run to a result you can hand over

The order matters. The first read gives you the structure; the next ones fill the parts that are hardest to source by hand.

01

Open with Field Study on the subject of the course

The field's own map of its questions and debates. The scope and sequence usually falls out of it.

4 credits
02

Run How It Works on the concept the unit turns on

A clean explanation from the record, sourced. The core the lesson is built around.

2 credits
03

Run Lesson Plan for the first session of the unit

One session planned to your framework with its materials. Edit it into the unit's voice, then repeat for the sessions that follow.

3 credits
04

Assemble the course

Export the pieces as PDFs, or let the Studio's curriculum class assemble a full course from them with assessment and capstone.

No credits.

What comes back

A result whose claims carry their grades

Sourced, not asserted

Every figure and quote links to where it came from. A claim the scan could not source is marked as such rather than dressed up.

Verified or grounded
Reported or attributed
Contested
Open question

Ready to hand over

Assemble the reads into a Studio curriculum, or export each as a PDF for the course binder.

Run Lesson Plan on something you already know

The fastest way to judge the result is to pick a subject you know cold and read it against what you know. If a colleague sent you here with an invitation, the credits land on your account when you sign up.
