Overview
This course develops the professional discipline required to produce structurally coherent, pedagogically sound textbooks that meet both curriculum requirements and commercial publishing standards. It focuses on planning before drafting, ensuring that every chapter has a clear learning trajectory rather than a loose collection of content. Participants learn how to translate specifications into teachable sequences, how to write explanations that genuinely support understanding, and how to design exercises that reinforce knowledge rather than simply test recall. The emphasis throughout is on professional reliability: producing manuscripts that require minimal structural rewriting and integrate smoothly into editorial workflows.
