Course companion: one module per chapter, with objectives, recap and self-check
Students finish courses that come with a book. A course companion is the written version of the programme: one module per chapter, opening with what the student will be able to do, closing with a recap and a few questions with answers. It becomes the deliverable in the sales page, the reading between videos, and a product on its own for people who prefer to read.

Frequently asked questions
Can it follow my existing course outline?
Yes. Put the module list in the idea field; the brief follows it and you can rename or reorder chapters before writing.
Do the self-check questions have answers?
Yes, each question comes with a short answer, so the book works alone as well as alongside the course.
Can I add screenshots of my lessons?
Edit the DOCX in Word or Google Docs and export your own PDF, or keep our PDF for the text-only version.
Is it different from the workbook?
The companion teaches and checks understanding; the workbook makes the reader practise with exercises. Courses with homework often use both.
