For instructors

Adopt a book, add a tool, or bring your own book. Prepara sets it up with you.

For instructors

Four ways to get started. Prepara meets you where you are.

Start turnkey or customize everything: adopt a complete ready-to-teach course, bring your existing book, modernize it with AI, or collaborate with us to build something entirely new. Prepara works the same from community colleges to research universities.

Turnkey when you want it ready today. Custom when you want it built your way.
