Course map — how to read it
Disciplines, modules and topics — plus search, filters and the completion pills.
A course is a four-level tree. Understanding the levels makes a 400-video channel navigable in seconds.
The four levels
| Level | What it is | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Discipline | The broadest grouping — a subject area the channel covers. Shown as a filter chip. | Calculus |
| Module | A coherent unit inside a discipline, ordered beginner → advanced. | Differentiation |
| Topic | A chapter inside a module — the card that actually holds the videos. Its small colored label names the chapter it covers. | Rate of change |
| Video | One YouTube video, with the concept it teaches and why it sits here. | Intro to dy/dx |
Ordering is the whole point: the AI is asked to sequence modules, topics and videos so that each one builds on the last, rather than the reverse-chronological order YouTube gives you.
What's on a video row
- A checkbox — your progress. Progress →
- The title, which opens the video on YouTube.
- A short reason line: why the AI placed this video at this point in the course.
- The Overview and Transcript buttons.
Navigating a large course
Search
Type into the filter field to narrow the whole map to matching videos, modules and concepts. It searches the syllabus, not just titles.
Discipline chips
Click a discipline to show only that track. Click it again to clear. Useful on channels that cover several unrelated subjects.
Completion pills
Each topic, module and discipline carries a small pill showing how many of its videos you've completed, and the dark tracker at the top of the course shows the total. They update the instant you tick a box, on every surface.
Why some videos are missing
- Shorts are excluded everywhere. Anything 60 seconds or under is dropped before the AI sees it, and isn't counted in the video total.
- Private, unlisted and members-only videos never appear — they aren't in the public uploads list.
- Videos uploaded after your course was built appear only after a Refresh. Refresh & new uploads →
Sharing what you're learning
The share button in the panel header and the export menu both produce something you can hand to someone else — a Markdown checklist is the most portable. Export →
