PDF lessons
Upload notes and books as PDF lessons that learners read right inside the course.
Turn notes into lessons
Upload chapters, handouts or past papers as PDF lessons that open inside the course. Material you already use in class becomes part of the online course in minutes. Teachers do not need to retype anything, and learners find each document in the right place in the lesson order.
Read without leaving the course
Learners read in the lesson player on any device, with progress counted like any other lesson. There is no need to download files or switch between apps. When they finish reading, they move straight to the next lesson, and teachers see the PDF as completed in their progress reports.
One copy for every course
Files live in the media library, so the same PDF can be reused wherever it is needed. Update the file once and every course that uses it shows the new version. This keeps material consistent across classes and saves teachers from uploading the same document again and again.
