WordPress + AI Platform Builder

Cornell · August 17, 2026

Course Overview

  • How it works: This is a fully self-directed course, built right into your LearnDash dashboard — log in whenever it suits you, and move through the material at your own pace.
  • The journey: You’ll spend 16 weeks with us, broken into 80 focused days. Each day is built around a two-hour learning block designed to fit into a real, busy life.
  • Who this is for: You don’t need to be a programmer, and you won’t need to become one by the end of this course either — that’s the whole point. This course is built for sharp, working professionals and agency-minded builders who have never written a line of code and have no plans to start.
  • What you’ll walk away with: A real, working understanding of how websites and WordPress are actually put together — not so you can build them by hand, but so you can confidently direct an AI partner (Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, working through Novamira) to build complex, professional, fully integrated platforms for you.
  • How we’ll get there: Instead of memorizing code, you’ll learn to read the “anatomy” of a website the way an architect reads a blueprint. That’s what lets you guide your AI agent with confidence, ask the right questions, and recognize a good result when you see one.

The Standard Daily 2-Hour Class Pacing Structure

To keep self-directed learning highly structured and predictable, every single 120-minute daily module on the LMS follows this exact time-blocked journey:

  1. 00:00 – 00:20 (20m) — Video Masterclass / Theoretical Grounding: Concept explanation, visual diagrams, and software anatomy lessons led by the instructor on video.
  2. 00:20 – 00:50 (30m) — Case Study & Dynamic Walkthrough: Line-by-line configuration analysis, database table breakdowns, or visual file-structure examinations. No code-writing required—students analyze and understand relations.
  3. 00:50 – 01:10 (20m) — AI Directive Lab (Prompt Engineering & Tool Setup): The instructor models exactly how to prompt ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini to configure, build, or troubleshoot the target component. Learn how to draft instructions that get predictable, clean output.
  4. 01:10 – 01:50 (40m) — Student Hands-On Practice: Students open their local staging environment, configure a setting, or connect their AI assistant to execute the daily goal inside WordPress Playground or Local.
  5. 01:50 – 02:00 (10m) — Conceptual Audit & LMS Review: A 5-question conceptual LearnDash quiz. The quiz does not test syntax memorization but focuses on relations, security, and mechanics.

Note: Per-topic quizzes are not yet built into this draft and will be added in a follow-up pass.
