Paste one resource, choose the question you need answered, and copy a focused first-pass prompt. Start with the smallest review that can move your decision forward.
AI organizes evidence. You make the academic judgment.
You do not need to complete every section. Pick the question that matches what you need to know right now.
Not sure? Start with Is This OER Worth More of My Time? It is designed to help you decide whether a resource merits a closer review.
The resource is the only required field. Add course information if you are checking fit or likely prep work.
Skip anything that does not matter for the question you chose.
Privacy: These fields stay in your browser while the prompt is prepared. Shared course details can also stay for this browser session so you do not have to retype them on the next Promptbook task. Use the Remember option only on a device you control.
Use this before investing time in a close read or detailed rubric.
See what looks promising, what could be a problem, and what you should inspect yourself next.
Use this when the quick screen raises questions you want to investigate before moving on.
Use this when you need to compare a promising resource with the course you actually teach. Add course context above if you have it.
Get a straightforward fit map without turning the first pass into a giant rubric.
Use this when you need specific chapters, sections, partial coverage, and the most consequential gaps.
Use this to separate what is actually documented from what still needs verification.
Get a short list of documented facts and unresolved questions about reuse, student access, and accessibility.
Use this when remix rights, file formats, accounts, downloads, teaching supports, or accessibility documentation could affect your decision.
Use this after a resource looks promising and you need to know what you would still have to build, supplement, update, maintain, or replace from your current textbook ecosystem.
Identify the few gaps or missing supports most likely to create extra teaching or preparation work.
Use this when you need a realistic picture of initial prep, lost teaching supports, and ongoing maintenance.
You do not need a full evaluation of every resource. If a quick screen reveals a dealbreaker, move on. If a resource still looks promising, inspect the original source, verify important claims, and go deeper only where the decision needs it.
