The LEARN Protocol

Level - Assess current knowledge Explore - Map the learning landscape Adapt - Customize to learning style Reinforce - Build lasting understanding Navigate - Track progress and adjust

Let's build a complete learning system:

Phase 1: Knowledge Assessment

```text "I want to learn [subject]. Act as an expert educator and learning designer.

First, assess my current level:

DIAGNOSTIC QUESTIONS (5-7 questions): - Start with fundamentals - Progress to intermediate concepts - Include one advanced challenge - Mix conceptual and practical

Based on my answers, determine: 1. Current knowledge level (beginner/intermediate/advanced) 2. Specific gaps to address 3. Strongest foundation to build on 4. Optimal starting point

Then create a personalized learning path." ```text

Phase 2: Curriculum Architecture

```text "Based on my assessment, design a comprehensive learning curriculum:

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - Week 1-2: Foundation concepts [specific topics] - Week 3-4: Core applications [practical skills] - Week 5-6: Advanced techniques [complex scenarios] - Week 7-8: Mastery projects [real application]

DAILY STRUCTURE (2 hours): - 30 min: New concept introduction - 45 min: Guided practice - 30 min: Active problem-solving - 15 min: Review and reflection

LEARNING RESOURCES - Core materials (ranked by relevance) - Supplementary resources - Practice problems - Real-world applications

Include checkpoints and adjustment triggers." ```text

Phase 3: Learning Style Optimization

```text "Analyze my learning preferences and optimize delivery:

LEARNING STYLE ASSESSMENT: 1. Visual (diagrams, charts, models) 2. Auditory (explanations, mnemonics) 3. Kinesthetic (hands-on, practice) 4. Reading/Writing (notes, summaries)

OPTIMIZE FOR: - My dominant learning style: [identified style] - Attention span patterns - Best times for complex vs. simple topics - Preferred explanation depth

Adjust all future content to match my optimal learning profile." ```text
