Overview
Design chain: Backward Design → Bloom’s Taxonomy → Learn / Practice / Test / Reflect → Mastery → Spiral Review
Feynman teach-back is required in every lesson.
Backward design: module outcome
Student can instrument a local Assist pipeline stage-by-stage, deploy Whisper/Piper via Wyoming with measured tradeoffs, and prove wake→action→speech with the internet disconnected.
Bloom arc
Analyze (architecture) → Apply/Evaluate (STT/TTS) → Create/Evaluate (private speaker)
Module learning cycle
Orient → Recall → Learn (reading) → Demonstrate (worked example) → Guided practice → Independent practice / homework → Feynman → Lab → Quiz → Feedback → Module project → Module exam → Reflect
Module assessments
| Activity | Purpose | Link |
|---|---|---|
| Module project | Integrated skill (Apply/Create) | project.md |
| Module quiz | Retention across topics | module-quiz.md |
| Module exam | Mastery verification | exam.md |
| Remediation | Re-teach weak areas | remediation.md |
Practical mastery gate: pass before you continue
Spiral review
Uses HA entities/actions from Module 3 and Docker/network/ops from Module 1; failures must cite stage names forever after.
Practical gate
Feedback → targeted reading → new practice → redo Feynman Retry → reassessment (see remediation.md).
