About Prepara
What Prepara offers, how our books are made, and the people who write and review them.
Four ways to get started. Prepara meets you where you are.
Start turnkey or customize everything: adopt a complete ready-to-teach course, bring your existing book, modernize it with AI, or collaborate with us to build something entirely new. Prepara works the same from community colleges to research universities.
Adopt a Ready-to-Teach Course
Start with a complete Prepara course, or a free open textbook in the same reader, built, integrated and ready for immediate adoption.
- Interactive textbook, ours or a free open one
- Slides, videos and assignments
- Self-grading checkpoints
- Assessments and instructor resources
- Updates on your schedule
Bring Your Existing Book
Bring your textbook onto Prepara as it is. Nothing is added unless you ask.
- Keep your content as it is
- Maintain authorship and control
- Read in the Prepara reader, opened from your LMS
- Discuss authorship and royalties
Integrate AI and Prepara Tools into Your Book
Keep your book and add Prepara's Lessons, Checkpoint Quizzes, tools and AI. You stay the author.
- Lessons and Checkpoint Quizzes for each chapter
- AI integration, such as a tutor that answers from your book
- In-Class, Evaluation Studio and Lab activities for your course
- Discuss authorship and royalties
Build a Custom Course
Collaborate with Prepara to create a complete course around your vision, syllabus, objectives and teaching preferences. Prepara takes on as much of the work as you like.
- Built around your objectives
- Complete student and instructor package
- Ongoing updates and refinement
- Discuss authorship and royalties
Turnkey when you want it ready today. Custom when you want it built your way.
Prepara's catalog books are written by professors and peer reviewed; bring or build your own, and you remain the author, name on the cover included.
