A design reference

Prepare teaching with accountable evidence

Build an explanation that another person can inspect, without outsourcing interpretive responsibility.

Design proposal · User validation required
Entry

A teacher chooses a passage, intended audience and question.

Proposed flow

  1. Read in context

    Read the coherent passage and wider book context before extracting a claim.

  2. Compare

    Inspect editions, reliable lexical alignment and attributed perspectives.

  3. Collect evidence

    Attach quotations, excerpts and media anchors to specific draft claims.

  4. Review the draft

    Separate verified Scripture, source interpretation, AI suggestions and the teacher’s own conclusions.

  5. Export deliberately

    Check quotation rights, references and audience; retain human ownership and a versioned source trail.

Recovery and alternative routes

An unavailable source or conflicting interpretation is shown explicitly. AI can assist a draft but cannot approve teaching or manufacture references. Private pastoral material is excluded unless deliberately authorised for this purpose.

What counts as a complete outcome

The teacher can substantiate the explanation and identify unresolved questions.

Research-informed design proposal

Engagement facets to specify

Possible situations: Teaching and preaching preparation, Theological and exegetical study. These are overlapping task contexts, not fixed user categories.

Specify the chosen purpose, passage unit, pace, participation, social setting, interpretive task, environment and disclosure or teaching responsibility. Use the scenario framework.
