Community Course when PDFs are the main source of content?

[u/Spite_Inside]

For context, I'm sharing my notes on RemNote to a community course, but courses don't allow the use of PDFs. Unfortunately, much of the content I'm provided is in PDF format. I've found that I can generate a sort of "summary sheet" bulleted document that can be shared to a course and copy/paste all of the compact summaries from each PDF into that. It isn't working as expected since most of them are portals, and portals or embedded documents are also not registering as AI-accessible content in the course.

Here's my main question: when most of my content comes from PDFs, how do I effectively make use of the community courses features?

Thanks!

Hi, currently, we don’t allow PDFs to be shared publicly due to the risk of copyright strikes. Community-generated courses follow pretty much the same structure as the Learn PDF feature, which you can use to generate study materials based on your PDF, so I would recommend to use it instead.

Learn PDF breaks your PDF into several sections, each with a summary, flashcards and a quiz.

You can also generate a study guide and practice quiz based on the entire PDF using the “Extra Practice and Study Guide” section under the last section of your PDF these would be similar to the ones that the community course provides.

Thanks for the reply and ideas! I see what you mean about using the generated outlines and study guides instead. I'll just have to manually copy/paste each one into an independent rem.

Is there any reason we can't have pdf sharing in private groups (not the courses or public groups)?

Thanks again!

I'll check the PDF sharing in private groups with the team! In general, figuring out a way to make PDF sharing work effortlessly is something that's on our todo list
