- Enter the unit and what it covers. Both are required. A few lines or a list of topics is enough, such as “theories of development across the lifespan; cognitive, social and emotional development; research methods; applying development to practice”.
- Set the level and discipline. These shape the outcomes, the activities and the kind of assessment that suits your students.
- Set the shape of the unit. Choose the number of teaching weeks (4 to 16), the contact hours each week and the mode: on campus, fully online, blended or intensive. The line under the form shows the total contact hours.
- Choose the assessment. Pick how many tasks (1 to 5) and whether there’s a final exam: yes, no, or let the planner decide. Under more options you can add requirements such as “one group task”, “no task over 50%” or “a hurdle skills assessment”.
- Add your outcomes and handbook entry (optional). If your unit already has learning outcomes, enter them one per line and they’ll be used exactly as written. Paste an existing unit outline, the course learning outcomes or the accreditation standards the unit must meet, and the plan will follow them. You can also describe the class format and the cohort.
- Plan the unit. Choose “Plan the unit”. The outcomes, assessments and weekly topics are planned first, then the weeks are written four at a time while you watch. You’re charged once, only when everything is finished. If something interrupts it, “Finish writing” carries on at no extra cost.
- Read it four ways. The unit outline has the description, the outcomes with their Bloom levels and the assessment summary. The weekly schedule has each week’s topic, what students do before class and in class, resources to find, how you’ll check learning, and what’s due. Assessments describes each task and the outcomes it assesses. Alignment shows every outcome against the weeks that teach it and the tasks that assess it, and warns you about any gap.
- Rewrite what you’d change. Rewrite any single week, with an optional note such as “more group work” or “move this to a lab session”, or rewrite the whole assessment plan. Each price is on its button. Or choose Edit and change anything yourself, free, including adding outcomes or tasks.
- Download it. Get a Word unit plan, a Word weekly schedule, a print or PDF copy, or a spreadsheet of the schedule to paste into your LMS or teaching calendar.
- Build on it. From a finished plan you can create a lesson plan for any week, write a full assessment brief with a rubric for any task, or generate a final exam paper across the unit’s topics. Each is priced on its own button. You can also start a unit plan from a set of learning objectives or a topic overview you’ve already made. Every plan is saved to “My Unit Plans” and to “Everything You’ve Generated” on your User Hub.
Every action’s credit cost is shown on its own button before you commit to it. Nothing is charged silently.
