Core Learning Designer
Course design built around your school. Teachers stay in charge.
Core Learning Designer is a curriculum and resource design application for Australian schools. It helps teachers create LMS pages, unit designs and course designs that meet their school's own standards.
Good teachers spend too many hours on production work.
Designing a strong course is professional work. Rebuilding the same information across programs, schedules, outcome maps and dozens of LMS pages is not.
Disconnected documents
Change a unit and the program, schedule and map all need updating by hand. Things drift out of alignment.
Inconsistent practice
The school's agreed teaching model lives in a policy document, not in the materials students actually use.
Time taken from teaching
Every hour spent formatting and cross-referencing is an hour not spent on feedback, relationships and real design decisions.
Three connected stages, from course intent to classroom-ready pages.
Each stage builds on the one before, so course documents stay aligned as decisions change.
Course design
Set the course, year group and syllabus, then map units across the year with timing and assessment points.
Unit design
Shape each unit around clear learning intentions, evidence of learning and a visible learning sequence.
LMS pages
Produce accessible, student-facing pages for the school's LMS, starting with Canvas.
Set your teaching model once. See it in every resource.
Whether a school is committed to Explicit Teaching, Mastery Learning, inquiry or a model of its own, Core Learning Designer is designed to build it into the templates every teacher uses.
Leaders set the model
Pedagogy, terminology and branding are configured once for the school.
Teams adapt it
Faculties tailor it to their subject where the school allows.
Teachers apply it
Resources follow the model by default, and teachers refine and approve them.
Built to support professional judgement, not replace it.
Core Learning Designer is being designed by an experienced school leader and curriculum designer. These commitments shape how it is built.
The teacher stays the designer
The app proposes. Teachers edit, decide and approve.
Teacher-only, no student data
No student accounts, and no identifiable student information needed to use it.
Hosted in Australia
Built on AWS in Sydney, with AI processing designed to stay in Australia.
School-owned resources
What staff create belongs to the school, in standard formats that work without the app.
Curriculum is never invented
Curriculum requirements come from authoritative sources, not AI memory.
Works with your LMS
It improves content for the systems schools already use. It does not replace them.
Help shape it before release.
A school pilot is planned for early 2027. Schools that register interest will be contacted as pilot details are confirmed.
Australian schools and faculties interested in more consistent, less time-intensive course design.
Early 2027. Timing and scope will be confirmed with interested schools.
Register interest. No commitment is required at this stage.
