What you will learn
From rough idea to shareable link
This course teaches you to build interactive training experiences using Gemini Canvas. Here is what you walk away with.
A prompting framework that works
Learn the content-first, mechanics-second, style-last approach that keeps builds recoverable and sessions productive.
Recovery moves for when things break
Things will go wrong. You will learn how to revert, reset context, switch from describing to prescribing, and recover fast.
Confidence to build your own
The habits and discipline from this course transfer to anything you build with AI. Gemini Canvas is just the starting point.
The course
Four lessons. Forty minutes.
Each lesson builds on the last. Avatar-led video instruction, interactive quizzes, and hands-on games throughout.
1
Lesson 1: From User to Director
10 minutes
The decisions you make before you type a single prompt define everything that follows. Learn to scope your idea, build a source pack, and shift from user to director.
2
Lesson 2: The Socratic Engine
Scoping Source pack Build framework
10 minutes
Great prompts are conversations, not commands. Learn chain-of-thought prompting, the difference between describe and prescribe, and why one prompt should only ever do one job.
3
Lesson 3: Build Your Game
Prompting Chain of thought Iteration
10 minutes
This is where things get built and where things go wrong. Dev nav bars, source of truth, reverting fast, and the recovery moves that save hours.
4
Lesson 4: Test, Break and Share
Building Debugging Recovery
10 minutes
Preview is not live. Learn how to stress-test every screen, find the breaks before your users do, and get your finished build in front of people.

The framework
Content. Mechanics. Style.
Get this order right and every prompt lands cleaner. Get it wrong and you rebuild things that were working.
1
Content
Lock in what your build does and what people get from it. Your questions, scenarios, feedback, and rules. All finalised before you open Canvas.
2
Mechanics
Build the interactive logic. What happens on a wrong answer? How does the progress indicator work? Test each element individually before combining.
3
Style
Animations, colours, fonts, and visual polish come last. A style change should never require rebuilding content or mechanics.
Inside the course
Avatar videos. Interactive games. Real skills.
This is not a slide deck with a voiceover. Every lesson uses avatar-led video, interactive quizzes, and hands-on games built with QuikAuthor.

From the course
The thinking behind the build
Two key ideas from the course material that set this approach apart.
From the build guide
"Every bug you hit and fix is a lesson for your learners. Show the mess, not just the finished product."
Step-by-step Build Guide
From Lesson 2
"Your first response is a starting point, not a finished product. That pause before accepting. That is where good builds are made."
