Material that leads somewhere.

A reading on its own is a PDF. Here every reading and case is written for one course, at the right level, with a tutor to ask while reading and something to do once it is read.

A case study in Alma, The Third Request, from a course on leadership: a team lead is asked for a third favor by a peer two weeks before a major release. Beside the case, the AI tutor has answered the learner's question about why she does not just say no, citing two reasons from the case, and asks what a third yes would cost her team.

Written from your field

A reading explains one idea from the course in the terms of your field, from your own sources, at the level of the people taking it. A case sets out a situation the learner will have to act on.

A tutor beside every one

The learner can ask while they read. The AI tutor answers from that reading or case, and says so when something is not in it.

Something to do next

After a reading, a knowledge check or a learning game shows what stuck. After a case, the learner goes into a practice conversation built on it.

What your people see

Every reading and case is open to review before a learner sees it.

What each one is for

Every reading and case carries a learning objective, a time estimate, and a written design rationale.

Accuracy

Every piece is reviewed for accuracy before anyone takes the course. Your instructor or your expert sets how deep their own review goes.

Accessibility

Your team can check readings and cases against your own accessibility guidance before launch.

Where it fits

Readings and cases hold the course together.

In a typical course, about a quarter of the activities are readings and cases. Three examples of where they go.

To prepare for a decision

  1. Case study
  2. Practice conversation
  3. AI coaching
  4. A second conversation

The case sets out the situation, and the practice conversation makes the learner decide. Coaching goes back over the reasoning, and a second conversation tests whether it holds.

To understand a concept

  1. Interactive lecture
  2. Reading
  3. Knowledge check
  4. Reflection

The lecture introduces the idea and the reading goes deeper. The knowledge check shows what stuck, and the learner then puts it in their own words.

To settle an argument

  1. Dramatized case
  2. Discussion
  3. Reading
  4. Assignment

The scene raises a question and the discussion argues it. The reading then gives the learner the ideas to settle it, and the assignment asks them to.
