From chapters to modules
We map the book into courses, modules, and sections, in the order a learner should meet the material.

What book to course means
The book stays the source. The course is the path through it.
Book to course is the production path from a manuscript or a published book to lessons a learner can complete. We break the book into courses, modules, and sections, then attach the media and the checks that prove someone went through it.
PTC LMS is that build in the portfolio: two books became two courses learners finish in order. Villa Mont LMS and Simple LMS are the other education platforms we have shipped, when the course needs a home.
How a book becomes a course
Structure, a section a learner can finish, and proof they did.
A section they can finish
Each section can carry an overview, video, audio, and slides, so the chapter is something to complete, not only something to read.
Proof of completion
Ordered progress, exams, and a certificate close the path from the first page of the book to the last lesson.

Questions about book to course
What we need from the book, and how learners move through it.
What do you need to turn a book into a course?
A manuscript or a finished book, and a table of contents we can treat as the spine. Video, audio, and slides can already exist, or we can plan the section around the chapters you have.
How is the book structured for learners?
The book becomes one or more courses. Courses split into modules, and modules split into sections. On PTC LMS, each section runs as an overview, then video, audio, and slides.
Do learners have to finish sections in order?
When the curriculum calls for it, yes. PTC LMS requires learners to move through both books in order, so later modules stay locked until earlier ones are complete.
Can the course live in an LMS you also build?
Yes. Book to course produces the curriculum. Custom LMS development is the platform that sells it, plays it, and issues the certificate. Alpha Trait LLC can scope them together.
Map a book into a course
Bring the manuscript, the table of contents, or the recordings. We turn them into a path learners can finish.

Need the platform too?
A course still needs checkout, a player, progress, and a certificate. That is the LMS build.
