CuraCourseBooks and courses serve different jobs
A book holds shared instructional material for an organization. A course delivers that material to an enrolled class. Students enroll in courses, not books. This lets an author develop shared curriculum without rebuilding a separate copy for every class from scratch.
Create a book in your organization
Open your organization’s Library, then create a book. Choose the organization, title, description, and license. Book creation requires the appropriate organization role; if no organization is available, ask its administrator to check your permissions.
Choose editing permissions deliberately
Editable and Locked licenses determine how adopted material can be customized. These are product editing permissions, not a substitute for a copyright or commercial licensing agreement. Confirm your rights to text, media, and third-party material before distributing it.
Author and publish the material
Organize the book’s pages, add your explanations and activity blocks, and publish ready pages. Shared code files have their own Publish library action in book settings; adopted courses use the published library version.
Adopt the book into a course
When creating a course, select books available to your organization. The course can use published material from those books. Follow first-course setup, then publish and share for class access. When a book changes, review the linked-page update behavior before changing an active class.
Organization sharing and public distribution
New books are created for the organization. Public Bookstore listing is currently administered by CuraCourse; creating a book does not automatically list it publicly. For public distribution, commercial licensing, or a publisher arrangement, discuss your curriculum with us. No existing online audience is required to author material for your own courses.
