Frequently Asked Questions
How can I adapt the course plan generated by Gemini to my national framework?
Specify the relevant framework directly in your prompt (e.g., French National Education curriculum, RNCP framework, European Qualifications Framework). You can copy and paste the targeted competencies from the framework into the prompt and ask Gemini to align each session with these specific competencies. After generation, check the correspondence with a competencies/sessions matrix and adjust manually if necessary.
Can Gemini create course plans for all school levels?
Yes, Gemini adapts to all levels, from preschool to higher education, as well as vocational training. The key is to clearly specify the target audience in your prompt: learner age, school level, expected prerequisites, and teaching context. For primary levels, emphasize play-based activities and hands-on manipulation. For higher education, focus on critical thinking and research. The more specific you are about your audience, the more relevant the plan will be.
How do I integrate interactive and digital activities into the generated plan?
Add a specific instruction to your prompt like: "Include at least one digital activity per session, choosing from: interactive quiz (Kahoot, Wooclap), collaborative work (Google Docs, Miro), educational video, online simulation, or flipped classroom." You can also specify the digital tools available at your institution so that Gemini suggests realistic activities that are directly applicable with your existing infrastructure.
