CourseBlueprint: A Structured Pipeline for Adaptive Pedagogical Video Generation Grounded in Course Corpora
CourseBlueprint: A Structured Pipeline for Adaptive Pedagogical Video Generation
Generative text‑to‑video systems have made impressive strides in producing visually fluent educational clips, yet they often miss the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) essential for effective instruction—such as prerequisite‑aware sequencing, learner‑adaptive depth, and sustained cognitive engagement. In this article we introduce CourseBlueprint, a novel course‑grounded pipeline that generates adaptive pedagogical videos in a single forward pass over an undergraduate biomedical‑imaging corpus (BMED 2300; 23 lectures, 1,116 slides).
The pipeline replaces ad‑hoc prompt chaining with typed intermediate representations and validation steps. A scaffolding module constructs a stage‑labeled prerequisite concept graph while deterministically removing cycles. An adaptive controller then assigns per‑concept style specifications, and an engagement generator produces narration following a fixed hook → retrieval → core → analogy → forward contract structure. When retrieval confidence is high, a deterministic slide‑image override grounds the rendered video by reusing instructor slides.
We also release a reusable benchmark corpus and an evaluation harness that combines repeated LLM‑judge scoring with regex‑grounded objective metrics. In a five‑topic ablation study, removing the engagement contract drops the engagement score from 5.00 to 1.20, the adaptive score from 4.80 to 3.40, and the Flesch readability from 38.0 to 19.8, while analogy and retrieval‑prompt counts approach zero. The slide‑image override transforms a 0/9 corpus‑grounding failure into a 9/10 successful slide‑match rate.
These results demonstrate that pedagogical video quality depends less on surface fluency than on explicit, typed instructional contracts that make scaffolding, adaptation, engagement, and grounding auditable.
