FAQ

Can Gemini adapt the syllabus to a specific competency framework?

Yes, simply paste the competency framework directly into the prompt or attach it as a file. Specify to Gemini to map each syllabus module to the framework competencies. For example, add: "Align each session with the following competencies: [LIST]". Gemini will then produce a correspondence matrix between modules and targeted competencies, which is particularly useful for certification training or educational models submitted for accreditation.

How to get a syllabus for an online or hybrid course?

Specify the teaching modality in your prompt ("100% online course" or "hybrid format with 60% remote learning"). Gemini will automatically adapt the pedagogical activities accordingly: it will propose discussion forums, online quizzes, asynchronous collaborative work, and synchronous sessions via videoconferencing. You can also ask it to recommend specific tools (Moodle, Google Classroom, Notion) for each type of activity.

Is the generated syllabus compliant with university standards?

The advanced prompt produces a syllabus compliant with standards commonly used in francophone higher education (ECTS credits, Bloom's taxonomy, constructive alignment). However, each institution has its own templates and requirements. It is recommended to use Gemini's result as a solid working base, then adapt it to your institution's official template. You can also provide your institutional template to Gemini, asking it to fill in each section.
