Each step stays editable, visible, and connected

01

A chapter structure is not automatically a curriculum

Books optimise for reading; learners may need different pacing, prerequisites, examples, and checks.

02

Map meaningful source boundaries

Identify chapters, sections, concepts, definitions, and examples before deciding what belongs in each lesson.

03

Generate lessons and practice

Create objectives, concise explanations, exercises, and homework without losing the connection to the source.

04

Fill prerequisite and pacing gaps

Use a teacher checklist to add missing background and break dense sections into realistic learning steps.

05

Respect authorisation and traceability

Use only material you are allowed to teach from and keep enough source context to verify generated claims.

Questions and limits

Common questions

What source formats can I use with course from PDF?

Books optimise for reading; learners may need different pacing, prerequisites, examples, and checks. Only use source material you are authorised to process, and remove unnecessary personal or sensitive information.

Does course from PDF use my own material as context?

Books optimise for reading; learners may need different pacing, prerequisites, examples, and checks. The selected description, document, recording, lesson, or response remains the grounding context for the requested workflow.

Can I edit the output from course from PDF?

Identify chapters, sections, concepts, definitions, and examples before deciding what belongs in each lesson. Generated modules, lessons, exercises, criteria, scores, and feedback are saved as editable product objects rather than a block of text to copy elsewhere.

What happens to files and recordings uploaded for course from PDF?

Only upload material you are authorised to process. Keep personal data to the minimum needed for the teaching task, review the result before sharing it, and follow your organisation’s retention and consent policy.

Can a teacher override the result from course from PDF?

Create objectives, concise explanations, exercises, and homework without losing the connection to the source. AI can prepare or assess a first pass, but the educator controls source material, assignment, publication, the final score, and student-facing feedback.

Which subjects and languages work with course from PDF?

Create objectives, concise explanations, exercises, and homework without losing the connection to the source. Support depends on the source quality and requested subject, so educators should review terminology, notation, cultural context, and assessment expectations before use.

How is course from PDF priced?

AI usage is metered with the same SubSchool AI balance used by course, lesson, homework, and assessment workflows. You can keep drafts private and review the expected operation before publishing or assigning the result.

Can I use course from PDF without publishing a public course?

Use a teacher checklist to add missing background and break dense sections into realistic learning steps. You can keep work private as a draft, test the complete flow with example data, and publish or assign it only after review.
