Course Creation: 2-Agent Educational Workflow
Transform any topic into a complete educational course automatically. This system creates professional-grade courses with structured modules, comprehensive lessons, practical exercises, and assessment materials - all organized in Notion for easy delivery and management.
🔍 Agent 1: Topic research → Course structure creation → Content planning notes → Research documentation
📚 Agent 2: Research consumption → Content creation → Materials development → Course completion
TLDR: Build a fully automated course creation system with 2 connected agents.
Agent 1 researches any topic thoroughly and creates a course structure
in Notion with detailed content notes for each section.
Agent 2 reads the research and systematically fills every page with
professional educational materials, exercises, and assessments.
The result is a comprehensive, ready-to-teach course
Optimal Course Structure Design
Before diving into the agents, here's the proven course structure that Agent 1 will create for maximum learning effectiveness:
📋 Course Overview Pages:
Course Introduction - Welcome, objectives, prerequisites, time commitment
Learning Path - Visual course roadmap and module progression
Resources Hub - Tools, software, reading lists, external links
Research - All source material and latest industry information
🎯 Module Structure (4-6 modules recommended):
Module Overview - Goals, what students will learn, estimated time
Lesson 1-4 - Core concepts with examples, case studies, step-by-step tutorials
Practical Exercise - Hands-on activity to apply knowledge
Knowledge Check - Quiz or assessment to verify understanding
Module Summary - Key takeaways and next steps
Agent 1: Research & Course Architecture
Purpose: Research topic comprehensively, create complete course structure in Notion, and provide detailed content guidance for every page.
Apps Connected: Research action, Notion
Agent 1 Prompt
TOPIC: [Insert your course topic here - e.g., "Advanced Python for Data Science"]
STEP 1: COMPREHENSIVE RESEARCH
Research the absolute latest developments, best practices, tools, and trends in [TOPIC].
Focus on:
- Current industry standards and methodologies
- Latest tools, software, and technologies
- Expert opinions and case studies from the past 12 months
- Common challenges and solutions
- Career opportunities and skill requirements
- Certification paths and industry recognition
STEP 2: CREATE COURSE DATABASE IN NOTION
Create a new Notion database called "[TOPIC] - Complete Course"
With properties:
- Page Type (select): Overview, Module, Lesson, Exercise, Assessment, Resource
- Module Number (number): 1, 2, 3, etc.
- Lesson Number (number): 1, 2, 3, 4 within each module
- Completion Status (checkbox): For tracking progress
- Difficulty Level (select): Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced
- Estimated Time (text): Time to complete
- Content Notes (rich text): Detailed guidance for how to write this content
STEP 3: CREATE COMPLETE COURSE STRUCTURE
Create these pages in the database:
OVERVIEW PAGES:
1. Course Introduction (Page Type: Overview)
2. Learning Path (Page Type: Overview)
3. Resources Hub (Page Type: Resource)
4. Research (Page Type: Resource) - DUMP ALL YOUR RESEARCH HERE
MODULES (Create 4-6 modules based on topic complexity):
FOR EACH MODULE:
- Module X Overview (Page Type: Module)
- Lesson X.1 - [Core Concept] (Page Type: Lesson)
- Lesson X.2 - [Advanced Application] (Page Type: Lesson)
- Lesson X.3 - [Real-world Examples] (Page Type: Lesson)
- Lesson X.4 - [Best Practices] (Page Type: Lesson)
- Practical Exercise X (Page Type: Exercise)
- Knowledge Check X (Page Type: Assessment)
- Module X Summary (Page Type: Module)
STEP 4: ADD DETAILED CONTENT NOTES
For EVERY page created, add comprehensive "Content Notes" explaining:
- Specific topics to cover
- Key learning objectives
- Examples and case studies to include
- Practical applications
- Common mistakes to address
- Assessment criteria (for exercises/quizzes)
Agent 2: Content Population & Material Development
Purpose: Read all research data and systematically fill every course page with professional educational content, exercises, and assessments.
Apps Connected: Notion
Agent 2 Prompt
STEP 1: ABSORB ALL RESEARCH
Read the "Research" page in the course database to understand all the topic knowledge gathered by Agent 1.
STEP 2: SYSTEMATIC CONTENT CREATION
Go through EVERY page in the course database and fill it with professional content:
FOR OVERVIEW PAGES:
- Course Introduction: Welcome message, clear learning objectives, prerequisites, time commitment, what students will achieve
- Learning Path: Visual progression through modules, skill building roadmap
- Resources Hub: Curated tools, software recommendations, reading lists, useful websites
FOR MODULE PAGES:
- Module Overview: Clear goals, what will be learned, estimated completion time
- Module Summary: Key takeaways, skills acquired, preparation for next module
FOR LESSON PAGES:
- Clear explanations of concepts with real-world examples
- Step-by-step tutorials with screenshots or code snippets
- Industry case studies and best practices
- Common pitfalls and how to avoid them
- Additional reading and resources
FOR PRACTICAL EXERCISES:
- Clear instructions for hands-on activities
- Required materials/software list
- Step-by-step guidance
- Expected outcomes and deliverables
- Troubleshooting common issues
- Extension activities for advanced learners
FOR KNOWLEDGE CHECKS:
- 5-10 multiple choice questions per module
- 2-3 short answer questions
- 1 practical scenario-based question
- Clear answer explanations
- Links back to relevant lesson content
- Passing criteria and next steps
CONTENT QUALITY STANDARDS:
- Write in clear, accessible language
- Include practical examples from the research
- Use proper formatting with headers, bullet points, code blocks
- Add callout boxes for key insights
- Ensure logical flow between sections
- Cross-reference related lessons
Set Completion Status to TRUE for each page as you finish it
Implementation Workflow
Sequential Execution Process:
Step 1: Run Agent 1 manually with your chosen topic (research + structure creation)
Step 2: Review the created course structure and content notes for accuracy
Step 3: Run Agent 2 manually to populate all content (may take 30-60 minutes for complex topics)
Step 4: Review completed course for quality and make manual adjustments if needed
Quality Control Checklist:
All pages have comprehensive content (no placeholder text)
Exercises have clear instructions and expected outcomes
Assessments include answer keys and explanations
Logical progression from beginner to advanced concepts
Expected Results
This automated course creation system will generate:
Complete course structure with 4-6 modules and 20-30 individual lessons
Professional educational content based on latest industry research
Practical exercises and real-world applications for each module
Assessment materials with quizzes, answer keys, and grading criteria
Transform any topic into a professional, comprehensive course in 2-3 hours instead of the typical 40-60 hours required for manual course development. The resulting course will be ready for immediate delivery to students or further customization based on your specific teaching style.
