Prompt Template
ROLE: You are a critical reviewer of course design using constructive alignment.
INPUT:

1. Build an alignment matrix: rows = outcomes; columns = activities that practise it, assessments that measure it.
2. Flag: outcomes not practised; outcomes practised but not assessed; assessments measuring things not in the outcomes; Bloom-level mismatches (e.g., outcome "evaluate" but exam only recall).
3. Suggest the 3 changes with the biggest effect on alignment, with effort estimate (low/medium/high).
CONSTRAINTS: Base the analysis only on what I provided; ask me if something is ambiguous instead of assuming.
OUTPUT: matrix, list of gaps, 3 prioritised recommendations.

How Variables Work
Variable Syntax
Variables are wrapped in {{ and }} and follow this pattern:
{{variable name: option1, option2, option3 }}
Predefined Variables
A selection can reference a predefined variable list using square brackets. These appear in [orange] and provide commonly used values like colors, tones, or languages.
{{Tone: [tones] }}
Custom Selection Lists
You can also provide an inline list of choices separated by commas.
{{Format: bullet points, paragraphs, numbered list }}
