Spot-the-Gold Lesson — Learner-Curated Highlight Reel
A long lesson where students flag the most valuable insights with a button as they watch, and their picks become a personal highlight reel they can revisit — pilots a TED-style speaking masterclass but the pattern fits any long lesson where curation drives retention.
Best for: Long lessons where the gold-to-filler ratio matters and personal curation drives retention — masterclasses, deep-dive lectures, and signature talks.

What it does
- Video lesson with floating flag button — a persistent 'spot the gold' button students tap whenever they hear an insight worth keeping
- Auto-built highlight reel — every flag captures the timecode (and optional auto-generated quote) into a running list
- Personal notes layer — students can add a short note next to each flag explaining why it mattered
- Replay-from-flag controls — clicking any flag jumps the video back to that moment, perfect for review
- Save and share output — the highlight reel can be downloaded, copied, or shared as the student's personal study artifact
- Stats footer — a tally of how many flags the student dropped, with a comparison to the average viewer if you want it
Best use cases
- Public speaking and communication — students mark the lines that resonated in a long talk
- Business and leadership masterclasses — leaders flag the strategic ideas that apply to their team
- Writing and storytelling — students mark the craft moves they want to steal
- Sales and marketing training — reps flag the language and frameworks they want to deploy
- Personal development and coaching — clients save the moments that hit and turn them into a personal manifesto
What you can change with your DNA
When you run this through the remix skill, your CCOS DNA — brand, voice, audience — drives these decisions automatically:
- Colors — slots for page background, video frame, flag button (active and idle), highlight-reel surface, and student-note accents; pick a high-attention color for the flag button
- Fonts — a confident display font for the lesson title and reel headings, and a comfortable body font for the notes and timestamps
- Copy — lesson title and intro, flag button label ('Spot the gold', 'Save this', 'Mark it'), reel section headings, and instructions for how the highlight reel works
- Images — video thumbnail or poster frame, instructor headshot, and any small icons for the flag and reel UI
- Behavior — choose whether flags also save an auto-transcribed quote, whether the reel persists between sessions, and whether students can compare their picks with peers
