Lexicon:

• A unit is a part of a module.
• A module will contain 2 or 4 units.
• Each unit in a module covers a different theme.
• Each module is covered by a single WorkThrough?
• A workThrough is a project that covers at least two themes.
• A theme is either SINP (Sound, Image, Networks, Physical Media)
• There are multiple levels of units, level 1 for intro and so on.

Example:

Sunset is the workThrough

• It has a single module
• It has four units, S.I.N.P.
• It is introductory.
• It would then contain the following units: S1 I1 N1 P1

Units are made to work together, but modules are swappable, so any module could be inserted

Since the difficulty of a workthrough is not based on complexity, but on the high-level abstractions provided then the same workthough would work for multiple levels, just be removing/adding the high-level abstractions!

Fixed lengths of courses available (grid of slots) Each module has a known time length and order, so they can be used to build a course like lego.
