AI didn't just change
how students learn.
It changed what you can build.
You don't need a developer, a budget, or a semester of lead time. This course walks university educators through building real, working web tools — from idea to live URL — using AI.
Parts 2–4 available soon.
What's possible
If you can imagine it, you can build it.
This isn't about learning to code. It's about bringing your teaching ideas to life.
Build exactly what your course needs
Practice exercises, calculators, disclosure forms, flashcard decks — things that fit your course exactly, not approximately.
Gamify your classroom
Interactive challenges, self-assessment quizzes, streaks and scoring. If you can describe the experience you want, you can build it.
Create what doesn't exist yet
A guided mini-course. An interactive case study. A student reflection portal. Your imagination is the only limit.
The learning path
Four parts. One working app.
Each part builds on the last. Start with Part 1 — it's completely free. The rest follows naturally.
Build and publish your first teaching app
Describe a tool in plain English. Watch AI generate it. Deploy it to a live URL, all in one session. You'll leave with something real that your students can actually use.
🔨 Available now · 60 to 90 minConfiguration and environment variables
Learn how to keep secrets safe and prepare your app to connect to external services. One concept that unlocks everything that comes next.
🔐 Coming soon · 45 to 60 minMail and integrations
Connect your app to the outside world. Send yourself an email when a student submits a form. One integration that makes your tool feel professional.
✉ Coming soon · 60 to 75 minData and Supabase
Give your app memory. Save student submissions to a real database, review them later, and export to CSV. This is where your tool becomes real infrastructure for your course.
🗃 Coming soon · 75 to 90 minWho it's for
Designed for educators, not engineers.
You don't need a Computer Science degree. You need a teaching idea and a willingness to try.
New to AI tools
You've heard about ChatGPT but haven't used it to build anything. That's exactly the right starting point.
Not a programmer
No coding background. No desire to become one. That's not a limitation here. It's the whole point.
Frustrated by off-the-shelf tools
You keep reshaping your teaching to fit tools that weren't built for you. This course flips that.
Accounting and business faculty
Built with your discipline in mind (journal entries, rubrics, case simulations) but useful across any subject.
A builder, not a consumer
You'd rather make the exact thing you need than settle for the thing that's almost right.
Ready to actually do something
This is a build-along experience. You'll leave with a published, working app. Not a certificate. Not a slide deck.
What you could build
Real tools, built with this approach.
Each one started as a plain-English description. Each one is live and used by real students.
Brewed Awakening
Students budget for financial controls across a simulated café: control environment, segregation of duties, HR policies, and more. Then the disasters hit. The controls they skipped are exactly the ones that hurt them.
The Typing Dojo
Built for a 9-year-old who needed to learn to type and wasn't going to do it the boring way. Lego-themed, game-based, and designed to make the repetitive parts actually fun enough to keep coming back to.
CtrlAltDefeat
Students face IT threats: encryption failures, access control gaps, phishing exposure. They have to identify the vulnerability and respond before the damage compounds.
No Gorilla
A chart clarity self-assessment across five dimensions: message and focus, chart choice, data integrity, cognitive load, and accessibility. Students score their own visuals before anyone else does.
