My learners: [who they are, their age, their work] They already know: [what they know] They want to: [the result they want] They learn on: a phone, often on slow internet, in short breaks. My topic: [your topic] Write a course outline with 3 to 7 lessons. For each lesson give: - a short title (6 words or fewer) - one goal that starts with "After this lesson, you can" - the one idea it teaches - one example from daily life in Haiti Then give one sentence that says what the whole course lets them do. Ask me 3 questions if you need more facts before you start.
