## Prompt

```text
Help me design a course that runs entirely over WhatsApp (or a similar messaging app).

**Topic and outcome:** [what learners should be able to do by the end]
**Learners:** [who they are, their devices, data costs, literacy and language]
**Group size and format:** [one-to-one broadcast / community group / small cohorts]
**Length and pace:** [e.g. "3 weeks, one lesson a day"]
**My tools:** [regular app / business app / automation or chatbot tool / none]
**Free or paid:** [and how people sign up]

Plan:
1. **Curriculum:** modules and daily lessons, each with one clear objective.
2. **Lesson format:** what each lesson looks like in chat - a short text, a voice note under 2 minutes, an image or short video, and one task. Keep files small for low-data users.
3. **Schedule:** what goes out when, plus reminders and catch-up messages for people who fall behind.
4. **Engagement:** prompts for replies, peer discussion rules, accountability, and how I'll keep the group from getting noisy.
5. **Assessment and feedback:** quick quizzes, voice or photo submissions, and how I'll give feedback without being overwhelmed.
6. **Operations:** onboarding message, group rules, opt-out handling, moderation, and accessibility.
7. **Privacy:** members' phone numbers are visible in groups - recommend options to protect them and how to get consent.

Return a course overview, a day-by-day schedule table (Day | Objective | Message content | Format | Learner task), the first 3 lessons written out, and the welcome message.
