For teachers
Teach with Rolling Edition
Every book in our public catalog is free to read and free to reuse, so your students pay nothing for the textbook. Each book has a teaching kit, made from its current edition and kept current with it.
Free for every teacher
- A syllabus: a chapter a week, or a shorter plan that evens out the reading.
- Objectives: what students can do by the end of each chapter, in the chapter's own words.
- Lecture outlines: each section's key terms, the predictions it asks students to make, its examples and its working rule, each linked to the section.
- Examples that run: every example passed on the versions the book pins, and runs again when a library releases.
- Your own assistant: connect Claude, ChatGPT or another assistant to the books, and ask it to plan your course, draft slides or a quiz from a chapter, or tutor a student without giving away graded answers, citing each section. How to connect
Book text is CC BY 4.0: credit Rolling Edition, link back to the book and to the licence, and say what you changed. Code examples are MIT: keep the notice “Copyright (c) Rolling Edition and contributors” and the MIT terms with any code you copy. How to credit us
Answer keys, with the Educator plan
Each kit has a quiz bank with answer keys. Every answer is tied to the section it comes from. The keys are never public, so you can use them for graded work.
- Sign in with an email link to your school address.
- Tell us your school and what you teach.
- We check your request. Then choose the Educator plan, and the keys open with it.

Courses and assignments
With the Educator plan, make a course from a book or some of its chapters, with its dates, and give your students its class link.
- Each student's progress: the chapters they've read and their Lab hours, with a grade report to download.
- A lower price for your students: once they join your course with its class link, they can become members for less, and keep that price while they're in a course.
- Assignments in the Lab: each asks students to change one of the book's examples to do something the book doesn't. It's graded automatically against our own solution, on each student's own data and on data they haven't seen. Ready for A Primer on Search Relevance, with more books to follow.
- New editions: your course stays on the edition you adopted. Its page shows what changed in your chapters since, and you choose when to move.
- A new term: copy the course, without its students.
- Your students' privacy: only you and the co-teachers you invite see the roster. We keep which chapters each student read, not how long they spent, and delete everything 60 days after the course ends.
