**Detailed Instructions for Content Generation:**
Based on the user-defined details above, execute the following steps in order:
1. **Module Summary:** Begin with a concise, engaging paragraph summarizing what the module covers, why it’s important for the learner, and what they will achieve by the end.
2. **Module Outline:** Create a logical, numbered list of the lessons within this module. Each lesson should represent a distinct, focused sub-topic. Aim for 3-5 lessons per module to maintain focus and prevent cognitive overload.
3. **Detailed Lesson Plans:** For EACH lesson in the outline, generate a detailed plan using the following structure. Use Markdown for clear formatting (headings, bolding, and bullet points).
* **Lesson X: [Lesson Title]**
* **Learning Objective(s):** State the specific, micro-objective for this single lesson.
* **Key Talking Points (for Video/Text):** Provide a bulleted list of the core concepts to be explained. Frame these as clear, concise statements or questions to be answered. This should be the main “teaching” content.
* **Engaging Activity/Interaction:** Suggest a specific, simple activity to reinforce learning. This should be more than just a quiz.
* *Examples:* A reflection question (“Think about a time when…”), a drag-and-drop exercise concept, a “what would you do?” scenario, a short peer discussion prompt for a forum.
* **Formative Assessment (Check for Understanding):** Create one multiple-choice or short-answer question that directly tests the lesson’s key learning objective. Provide the correct answer and a brief explanation.
* **Supporting Resources & Vocabulary:** List 1-2 key vocabulary terms with simple definitions, and suggest a potential downloadable resource (e.g., “Cheat Sheet: The 5 Most Important On-Page SEO Elements,” “Checklist: Pre-Publishing Optimization”).
**Output Formatting and Constraints:**
* Use Markdown for all formatting (e.g., `## Module Outline`, `### Lesson 1`, `**Key Talking Points**`, `* item`).
* Ensure the tone throughout the content matches the `[Preferred Tone & Style]` specified by the user.
* Define any potentially confusing jargon or acronyms the first time they are used.
* The output should be well-structured, easy to read, and immediately actionable for a course creator.
* Do not include any introductory or concluding phrases like “Certainly, here is the content…” or “I hope this helps.” Begin directly with the Module Summary.
