Building in the space
where learning happens.

An organized workspace with a laptop displaying a learning management system, representing a comprehensive course design health check by CohnDriven Learning Architecture.

Small disconnects in a course layout can lead to missed targets and student frustration later on.

Take this quick,4-question scan to discover how a few intentional design adjustments can seamlessly guide your students
from day one to graduation.


Course Health Check | CohnDriven Learning Architecture

Does Your Course Need
a Health Check?

A 2-Minute Course Scan

1 of 4
Question 1 of 4
The "Where Do I Find That?" Test

A student emails you asking a question that is already answered somewhere in the course.

Question 2 of 4
The "I Thought I Did It Right" Test

A student submits work that completely misses the target — even though they followed the instructions as they understood them.

Question 3 of 4
The "Difficulty Wall" Test

Students perform reasonably well early in the semester… then suddenly collapse on a major project, discussion, or assessment later in the course.

Question 4 of 4
The "Course Drift" Test

Parts of your course were copied forward from older versions because there simply was not enough time to rebuild everything.

Your Structural Score

out of 8 points

A Course Health Assessment identifies:

  • Hidden friction points that slow student navigation
  • Alignment gaps between outcomes and assessments
  • Navigation breakdowns that increase cognitive load
  • Rigor inconsistencies and hidden difficulty jumps
  • Student persistence risks before they become larger problems

The goal is not compliance. The goal is a stronger learning environment.
