Teach from two, three, or more books in one class. Your students see one textbook. Hide the units you skip and assign work from any book.
Your main textbook rarely covers everything. Borrow a few units from another book, or hide the chapters you’re skipping this term.
Add curricula and hide the units you skip. Students search every book at once, and you assign work from any of them.
Mix books from the library and add your own activities. Students see one table of contents.
Pick from 20+ vetted curricula, including CSAwesome, Java Methods, Python for Everybody, and Mobile CSP.
Keep only the chapters you teach and hide the rest.
Add AP exam prep, topic drills, or Logic Gym’s thousands of validated problems.
Two teachers and six books, with one textbook for each class.
Her primary book is CSAwesome, which lines up with the AP exam units. She adds two chapters from Java Methods for more on recursion and iteration. Near exam season, she adds Be Prepared: AP CS Exam in Java and hides everything except the diagnostic and practice tests. Three books, one textbook.
He teaches NumPy, pandas, and Matplotlib from Python Data Science Handbook. From Learning Data Science, he adds the Data Science Lifecycle and Exploratory Data Analysis chapters. His juniors need those ideas before the libraries make sense. Four students doing a capstone also get a few chapters from Inferential Thinking. The rest of the class doesn’t see them. Two paths through one elective.
Mix anything from the bookshelf. Add your own with Custom Activities.
No new menus to learn, and you assign work in the wizard you already use.
Add books from your school’s shelf, as many as your course needs.
One click hides a chapter and everything in it. You can still change any unit on its own.
Use the wizard you know. It stops you from mixing books in one assignment.
Your students get a clean view, and you keep the workflow you know.
Everything you add shows up in one textbook, so students never switch between books.
Hide a chapter from the class, then assign it to a few students. Nobody else sees it.
Choose what each period sees from the same shelf, without copying a class.
Pick a student and see the textbook exactly as they see it, with their latest answers, code, and progress. Check their view before class, or review their work after.
A student asks in their own words. Alps searches every book in the class and brings back the page that explains it, and the practice that drills it.
A student types “why does 7 / 2 give me 3 instead of 3.5” and gets integer division — a term they never typed.
One search covers every curriculum in the class. Nobody has to guess which book holds the answer.
Results come back ranked, with the reading that explains an idea beside the questions that drill it.
Hidden units never appear. A chapter you marked Hidden unless assigned shows only for the students you assigned it to.
Teachers get the same search, and it follows whichever student’s view they are looking at.

Add another curriculum, hide what you’re not teaching, and assign work the way you already do.
