AI Learning Bot Selective Indexing
Fine-tune which sections of your online course platform should be ingested by AI learning assistants and LLM crawlers.
User-agent: LearningBot Allow: /courses/advanced-seo/ Allow: /courses/programmatic-seo/ Disallow: /checkout/
Verify your crawler permissions using a tool like Google's 'Fetch as Google' (for relevant bots) or a custom crawler simulator.
Monitor crawl frequency in your server logs to ensure AI learning bots are accessing your core curriculum content and not restricted areas like user accounts or payment gateways.
Medium Priority
Semantic Course Structure for Ingestion
Use semantic HTML5 elements and structured data to help LLM scrapers understand the hierarchical relationships and key concepts within your course materials.
Wrap individual lesson content within <article> tags to signal its distinct educational unit status.
Utilize <section> with descriptive 'aria-label' attributes (e.g., 'aria-label="Module 3: Advanced Keyword Research"') for different course modules or thematic units.
Ensure all assessment data (quizzes, assignments) uses proper <table> tags with <thead> and <tbody> for structured data extraction by AI tutors.
High Priority
RAG-Friendly Lesson Optimization
Structure your course lessons and supplementary materials so they can be easily 'chunked' and retrieved by Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines for AI-powered Q&A and personalized learning.
Keep distinct learning concepts within logical content blocks, ideally under 700 words, to facilitate precise retrieval.
Avoid ambiguous pronoun references; consistently use specific module names, concept terms, or instructor names in summaries and transitions.
Ensure each lesson or module summary clearly reiterates the core learning objective and its relation to the overall course curriculum.
