What's in this template
6 connected components you can rename, recolor, and extend with AI.
A course structure diagram outlines how an online or classroom course is organized, linking a central course node to its modules, lessons, assignments, quizzes, and supporting resources. It gives creators a bird's-eye view of pacing, dependencies, and exactly where content or assessments are missing.
Course creators, educators, and instructional designers use a course structure diagram when outlining a new class, redesigning an e-learning program, or planning a content release schedule. It works well for mapping a course outline, a module breakdown, or a drip-content plan before production begins.

- Use Bloom's verbs in objective labels, such as compare, design or evaluate, so every node describes something a learner can demonstrate.
- Mark prerequisites in skill trees and learning paths, and place each assessment next to the objective it measures.
- Export a PNG or SVG for docs and slides, or a GIF or MP4 to keep the animation.
