A book needs a different sequence
A video lesson can pause for a demonstration. A book needs to explain what the learner would otherwise see. Start by collecting lesson notes, a transcript you already have and the examples that make the course distinctive. Export them from your teaching tools first; there is no direct course-platform import to assume.
Choose a guide when readers need explanations they can consult later. Choose a workbook when the value comes from doing exercises. A companion book can cover one module well without recreating the entire course.
Turn lessons into a reading plan
- Name one outcome and the prerequisites for each chapter.
- Replace references such as 'watch what I do here' with a written demonstration.
- Group repeated explanations once, then link ideas through the chapter order.
- Use your outline review to add examples, checkpoints and a next action before writing.
Inspect the workbook before sharing it
The Strunk sample shows a real source-based workbook and its exported files. SuperEbook's workbook PDF adds fillable answer pages in an appendix; it does not turn every exercise into an inline form. Open the sample in the PDF reader your learners use and try the fields.
After generation, work through the exercises yourself. Check that instructions are complete, answers are defensible and students have enough space to respond. DOCX export is useful when you want to make further layout changes.
