Features

Bring in the open chapters you teach from, in the order you teach them.

Add the practice

Put checks for understanding, autograded practice, and custom activities between sections.

Tutoring grounded in the text

Turn on the AI tutor, and it answers from the lesson students are reading.

Why faculty use it

  • Students keep a zero- or low-cost textbook and get the practice publisher platforms charge for.
  • Adopting OER no longer means giving up homework and analytics.
