Tutorials › Teach from your own document

Teach from your own document

A curriculum class does not have to start from our material. Upload what you already teach — a syllabus, a set of lesson notes, or a whole book — and the plan follows it.

The Reliability of the Gospels

Build a day-by-day term plan. The coach turns your source into a weekly rhythm of coursework and debate days, plus a Sunday summary.

Step 1

Four ways to start a plan

Open Schedule on a curriculum class and you get a preset course, a topic you describe, an outline you paste, or a document you upload.

Presets are ready-made multi-week courses. The other three are how you bring your own material — and uploading is the one that handles something longer than a text box.

Step 2

Choose a PDF or a Word file

PDF or Word (.docx), up to 40 MB. Your own curriculum, a syllabus, lesson notes, a handout, or a full-length book all work.

One document per class — uploading again replaces the last one.

Can We Trust the Gospels?

Ready — 9 sections mapped. The plan will walk them in order.

Still reading it through? The screen says so, and says "ready" when the map is done. Nothing is generated from a half-read file.

Step 3

The file stays on the server — you get what we read

Your document is never posted to the class and students never receive the file. What comes back to you is a description of it: the title, the author if the work names one, the word count, and roughly how many pages.

Anything long gets read through and mapped to an outline first — a couple of minutes — so the plan can follow the work's own chapters in order instead of whatever the first fifteen pages happened to say.

Very long works are read up to about 600,000 characters, roughly a full-length book. If yours runs past that we tell you, and you can split the file across two classes.

Step 4

Built faithfully, then checked twice

The coach builds your course faithfully — even from material outside historic Protestant teaching — and then checks it twice. Once on the source you handed in, and once over the finished plan: every lesson, every question, every keyed answer, every debate framing.

Flags never block you. They surface what diverges so you see it before your class does, and you decide what to do about it.

Step 5

The author gets the credit

When the work names an author, the finished plan carries a "Based on…" credit line that your class sees. Tap it to edit the wording.

Then approve, and publish the days one at a time or turn on auto-advance. Your material, your pace, your class.
