Learning sites
Teaching, built to be used
Most of what I build is learning material: short courses and evidence bases for people who need to understand a method or a service landscape without reading forty papers first. They run in a browser, they work on a phone, and each one ends with question sets that explain the answer rather than just marking it.
They are built for teams rather than for a platform. A site can be copied, printed as a workbook, or handed to a group as pre-reading. Nothing needs an account.
The sites
- LUNA: UK aphasia provision. The evidence base and the service landscape for aphasia provision in the UK, with an assistant that answers only from the source set. Built for clinicians and commissioners who need the picture quickly.
- Participatory systems mapping. A course on systems mapping for health services research: six evidence lanes, worked questions, and an essay workbook for a taught session.
- Community research link work. Training for community research links, covering roles, recruitment, ethics, facilitation, data handling and analysis, in nineteen pages.
- MOST study notes. Course notes for the CADIO multiphase optimisation strategy: the method for building, optimising and then evaluating a complex intervention.
- AI at work: understanding the risk and reducing it. Practical guidance for teams adopting AI tools in research and professional work, written for people who will be asked to use them.
- MSci Human-Computer Interaction. Teaching material for the HCI module, including the mobile design brief and the assessment criteria.
- The Neighbourhood Health Service. A module on neighbourhood health, interprofessional working and integrated care.
Some of these have a document-grounded assistant attached: a chat window that answers from the course's own source set and refuses questions the material cannot support. It is a small model with a narrow library, and that is the point.
How they are made
Each site is a static build from plain markdown, a page map and a small renderer. That keeps them fast on a bad connection, readable on a phone, and easy to copy if a team wants to run the material themselves. The question sets are data, so the same source generates the printable workbook.
If you want to use one in your own teaching, ask. I would rather help than have someone rebuild it badly.
