Curriculum Architect Header: Alan Pruitt | AWC & UArizona Yuma | Mission Loop Framework

Narrative Overview

I am a Curriculum Architect specializing in high-level engineering and institutional agility. My work focuses on bridging the gap between foundational Exercise Science and the integration of Generative AI. As a USMC Veteran, I approach instructional design with a focus on structural integrity, scalability, and the "Mission Loop" framework.


πŸŽ’ The Flagship: EXW Master Library

Live AI Tool Box & Master Library

This curated library serves as the central hub for my Exercise Science (EXW) courses. It utilizes a custom-engineered tech stack to deliver research-grade accuracy directly to students.

  • Integrated Pedagogy: Built on the Mission Loop (Pattern / Rule / Solve).
  • Accessibility First: Fully mobile-responsive and WCAG 2.1 AA compliant.
  • AI-Enhanced: Developed using the Gemini CLI within VS Code to refactor bilingual (English/Spanish) clinical tools and automated rubrics.
  • SSoT: All tools are hard-wired to PAGA 2018 (2nd Ed) standards.

Architect's Note: All clinical data and client profiles processed within these tools must be wrapped in ### delimiters to ensure structural integrity and auditing accuracy against the PAGA 2018 (2nd Ed).


Professional Identity & Roles

  • Adjunct Faculty | Arizona Western College (AWC)
  • Generative AI Strategist | The University of Arizona – Yuma Campus
  • Founder | Webcognita LLC

πŸ—οΈ The Primary Framework: The Mission Loop

All repositories and course architectures within this profile are audited using the Pattern / Rule / Solve workflow:

  1. ### Pattern ###: Identifying physical inactivity trends or pedagogical gaps in 1st/2nd-year community college cohorts.
  2. ### Rule ###: Applying the federal standards of the PAGA 2018 (2nd Ed) and ACSM 12th Ed.
  3. ### Solve ###: Engineering OER-accessible, mobile-first Markdown solutions and AI-driven clinical toolsets.

πŸ“œ Single Source of Truth (SSoT)

To ensure research-grade accuracy and safety, my Exercise Science content (EXW101, EXW150, EXW245, EXW265) adheres strictly to:

  • Primary: Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans (PAGA) 2018.
  • Secondary: ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription (12th Ed).

πŸ› οΈ Tool Box & Technical Stack

My workflow is engineered for high-level scalability and institutional agility:

  • LMS: Canvas (Mobile-first, WCAG 2.1 AA compliant semantic HTML).
  • IDE: VS Code (Integrated with Gemini CLI for rapid curriculum refactoring).
  • Infrastructure: Infrastructure-as-Code (Markdown, GitHub, Git version control).
  • AI Strategy: Agentic workflows, math verification, and ### delimiter protocols.
  • SSoT Alignment: Automated clinical auditing against PAGA 2018 (2nd Ed).

πŸ“ˆ Current Projects

  • AI-Powered Academic Tool Box: Engineering a bilingual (English/Spanish) clinical auditing tool for Exercise Science students.
  • EXW Course Refactoring: Version-controlling curriculum for Fall 2026.

πŸš€ Featured Architectures

GenAI Strategy for the UArizona Yuma Food Lab

  • ### Pattern ###: Identifying the "hallucination gap" and misinformation in nutritional AI models.
  • ### Rule ###: Applying U.S. Dietary Guidelines and PAGA 2018 (2nd Ed) as the exclusive SSoT.
  • ### Solve ###: Engineering agentic prompt workflows and math verification tools for student-led nutritional auditing.

Exercise Science Curriculum Hub

  • ### Pattern ###: High cost-barriers and low mobile accessibility for 1st-year Kinesiology students.
  • ### Rule ###: Strict adherence to OER (Open Educational Resources) and PAGA 2018 federal standards.
  • ### Solve ###: Delivering a version-controlled repository of mobile-first Markdown curriculum and AI-assisted grading rubrics.

Institutional Agility & Accessibility

  • ### Pattern ###: Inconsistent UI/UX and fragmented navigation across Canvas LMS course modules.
  • ### Rule ###: Enforcement of WCAG 2.1 AA contrast standards and a strict <h2> to <h4> semantic hierarchy.
  • ### Solve ###: A library of reusable, accessible HTML/CSS templates designed for high-engagement, mobile-first academic delivery.

πŸŽ“ Leadership & Methodology

I am pioneering an Infrastructure-as-Code approach to education, moving beyond static document silos toward a dynamic, version-controlled curriculum. By sharing this workflow, I aim to equip fellow educators with the tools for institutional agility.

πŸ—οΈ The "Markdown for Educators" Workflow

This workflow eliminates "Format Friction" and ensures that instructional assets are as scalable as the technology that delivers them.

1. ### Pattern ### (The Problem)

Traditional curriculum development relies on "Static Silos" (Word/PDF). These formats are difficult to version control, lack native mobile responsiveness, and create friction when moving between AI tools, the web, and the LMS.

2. ### Rule ### (The Standard)

Every instructional asset must be:

  • Interoperable: Capable of running in the Gemini CLI, VS Code, and Canvas.
  • Accessible: Native WCAG 2.1 AA compliance through semantic hierarchy.
  • Auditable: Plain-text format to allow for Git-based version history.

3. ### Solve ### (The Execution)

The Architect's Tech Stack eliminates friction by moving content through this automated pipeline:

  • Drafting: Utilize VS Code + Markdown for distraction-free, structured engineering.
  • AI-Refactoring: Leverage the Gemini CLI to audit content against PAGA 2018 or refactor bilingual clinical tools.
  • Versioning: Push to GitHub to ensure a permanent "Paper Trail" of all pedagogical changes.
  • Distribution: Deploy to GitHub Pages (Web) and Canvas LMS (Mobile) simultaneously.

⚑ The Force Multiplier

"Markdown allows the Architect to spend less time formatting and more time engineering the Mission Loop."
