Purple helps instructors design course modules, rubrics, and assignments more efficiently. By analyzing your syllabus and course goals, Purple can generate Canvas-ready content that aligns with your learning objectives—giving you more time to focus on teaching and refining your course.

Try it yourself

Step 1: Upload your syllabus and set the context

Click the plus icon, attach your course syllabus or materials, and prompt Purple:

"I've attached my course syllabus. Please analyze the course goals and learning objectives, then let me know when you're ready to help me design Canvas course modules."

Purple will provide a detailed analysis of your course goals and confirm it's ready to begin generating content. The response will end with suggested next steps, such as:

• Design a standard Canvas module template
• Start with a specific module or week
• Map learning objectives to activities and assessments

Step 2: Review and refine

Check Purple's analysis for accuracy. If anything doesn't align with your vision, provide specific feedback about what needs adjustment and why.

Step 3: Generate module content

Once the analysis looks good, ask Purple to develop specific modules. For example:

"This looks great. Let's start with Week 2. The theme is Unite, and the lecture topics are: course overview, engineering design processes, information gathering, and 5 dimensions of teamwork."

Purple will generate a complete module outline aligned with your syllabus, including structure, activities, and assessments.

Note: If Purple's response appears incomplete, simply ask: "The response was cut off—can you continue?" Purple will pick up where it left off.

At the end of each module, Purple will suggest next steps, such as:

• Create student-facing Canvas page content
• Add rubrics for assignments
• Draft instructor scripts for lecture videos
• Move to the next week's module
