… as a traditional course creator wanting to move from creating content courses to teaching frameworks that require the student to use AI to complete the task. I want the teacher to guide the use of the ai applied to the framework being taught.
Got it, James. You’re talking about replacing traditional “content dump” courses with framework-based, AI-assisted teaching models—where the teacher guides students through applying a framework using AI as a tool to complete real tasks.
That’s a powerful evolution—and exactly where the future of digital education is headed.
🎯 YOUR NEW MODEL IN A SENTENCE:
“Teach the framework. Let AI do the grunt work. Guide the student to apply it in real life.”
This isn’t passive learning. It’s active building with a human teacher + AI toolset + actionable framework.
🧩 THE MODEL: “Teach-Apply-Coach” (TAC)
This is the structure that replaces content-heavy courses with high-impact, AI-accelerated learning.
✅ PHASE 1: TEACH (The Framework)
- Present your named framework (e.g. 4–6 steps) in a live or pre-recorded module.
- Keep the content light. Use stories, metaphors, and clarity.
- Goal = student understands the path and the “why” of each pillar.
✳️ Example: “Today we’re using the CLARITY Framework to define your core offer. It’s 5 steps. Each one builds on the last.”
🤖 PHASE 2: APPLY (with AI)
- At each step, the student uses AI to generate or prototype something real.
- You don’t teach “about” AI—you prompt them through using it on their problem.
✳️ Example Task:
“Step 2 is ‘List Client Problems.’ Use this AI prompt to generate 25 pains your dream client faces. Then refine 5 that resonate with your real experience.”
KEY: You give them pre-built prompts, templates, or workflows—but ask them to adapt, evaluate, and improve what AI gives back.
💬 PHASE 3: COACH (Decision-Making + Judgment)
- Here’s where the teacher brings value:
Help the student:- Choose what to keep
- Refine what’s wrong
- See what AI missed
- Think like a strategist
✳️ Example Coaching Questions:
- “What do you like or dislike about the AI’s suggestions?”
- “Which ones feel off-brand or misaligned?”
- “How would you rewrite this to fit your audience better?”
Now they’re learning judgment, creativity, and leadership—not just copy-pasting.
🧠 TEACHER’S ROLE SHIFT (Old vs New)
| Traditional Course Creator | Framework + AI Teacher |
|---|---|
| Teaches everything via video | Teaches only the model, not the minutiae |
| Delivers content to be watched | Guides action to be done |
| Focuses on knowledge transfer | Focuses on outcome delivery |
| Asks students to consume | Asks students to build using AI |
| Stays the expert | Becomes the mentor and strategic guide |
🛠️ HOW TO DESIGN THIS TYPE OF COURSE
1. Name Your Framework
Break the transformation into 4–6 named steps. (Like BLESS, CLARITY, REACH, etc.)
2. Write 1 AI Prompt per Step
Give your students one solid prompt to use per step. Bonus: teach them how to adjust it.
3. Give 1 Coaching Question per Step
Push them to evaluate, not just accept the output. Add human discernment.
4. Add a Live Review or Feedback Layer
Weekly group calls, async video replies, or peer reviews = accelerate learning + trust.
🔥 EXAMPLE IN ACTION (Quick Sketch)
Framework: “OFFER”
- O – Outline Audience
- F – Find Their Fears
- F – Frame the Promise
- E – Explain Your Process
- R – Refine with Feedback
Lesson Format for “F – Find Their Fears”:
- Teach: Why fear-based messaging matters (3–5 min story + model)
- Prompt: “List 25 deep fears of [insert audience]. Use tone: empathetic, not manipulative.”
- Coach: “Which of these actually match what your clients say to you? What’s missing? What feels off?”
Result: They’re not watching—they’re building something real, using AI + human clarity + your framework.
🗣️ POSITIONING FOR CREATORS
“Instead of building content-packed courses that overwhelm people, build a framework and teach them how to apply it using AI—with your strategic guidance. They build faster. You teach smarter.”
🚀 NEXT STEPS YOU COULD OFFER
- A mentorship program helping coaches turn their frameworks into AI-powered courses
- A template pack with customizable AI prompts for framework-style teaching
- A live demo session walking people through TAC in real time
Live Example
This is a Live Client Example: We used the Framework Prompt (shared earlier here) and then applied the TAC to the framework.
One of the examples that this client used was the creation of a framework called ‘BLESS”. To provide some context, she works with Christian Women. Let’s break this using the TAC framework to teach:
✅ What You Have:
A framework like BLESS — it’s clear, action-oriented, spiritually rooted, and outcome-driven.
🤔 The New Question:
How do you actually teach this framework in real life—without bloating it into a content-heavy course?
🎯 THE GOAL:
Teach live, mentoring-style, or hybrid courses built around real-time transformation—not passive content.
🧩 How to Teach a Framework-Based Course
👇 Use this structure for every pillar in your framework:
🪜 1. Start With a Story (Connection)
- Why: People remember truth through emotion and example. Stories open the heart.
- What to do: Share a personal story or client story that illustrates the struggle the pillar addresses.
✝️ Example for “Bring it to God”:
“I used to go into conversations with my son already emotionally loaded. I’d pray after the blow-up. Now I pray before. That changes everything.”
📖 2. Name the Principle (Clarity)
- Why: Give the brain a simple truth to hold onto. This is the “point” of the pillar.
- What to do: Summarize the key lesson in one sentence.
“Before we can set boundaries with others, we have to anchor our emotions in prayer.”
🛠️ 3. Teach ONE Tool or Exercise (Action)
- Why: Action is the antidote to overwhelm.
- What to do: Lead them in doing the action task live (or assign it between sessions).
Task: “Take a breath. Say a 20-second prayer out loud for peace before your next conversation.”
🧠 4. Ask a Reflective Question (Processing)
- Why: Reflection deepens transformation. This helps them own the lesson.
- What to do: Ask a journaling question and pause.
“What usually happens when you don’t pause to pray? What changes when you do?”
📖 5. Anchor with Scripture (Spirit)
- Why: This centers the learning in God’s Word and builds faith-based confidence.
- What to do: Read the Scripture together. Ask how it applies.
“Philippians 4:6 tells us not to be anxious—but to pray. How does that verse shift your perspective today?”
🙏 6. Close with Prayer + Challenge (Spiritual Activation)
- Why: End with alignment to God and a clear next step.
- What to do: Pray aloud. Give them ONE thing to practice that week.
“This week, before any hard conversation, pause and pray. Even if it’s just a whisper. Watch how God softens the space.”
🧠 Teaching Mindset Shift:
You’re not a lecturer – You’re a guide.
You’re walking them through a faith + action journey, not dumping content on them.
🧪 Delivery Models That Work
| Model | Format | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Live Group Mentoring | Weekly Zoom (1 hour, 1 pillar/week) | High engagement, low prep, flexible. |
| Hybrid Mini-Course | Pre-recorded 5-10 min video per pillar + live call | Keeps structure, adds depth with mentoring. |
| Workbook Series | PDF or journal with space for each pillar’s action + reflection | Great for print, digital downloads, or email coaching. |
| Devotional Journey | 5-day or 5-week email or YouVersion plan | Lightweight entry point that builds trust + leads to mentoring. |
🔥 Summary Teaching Flow per Session
