When starting to study new material the individual learners will have different levels of knowledge and skills. In order to cope with this situation, and always present exactly the material the student needs, Teach/Me provides selfadapting courses. When starting a course the student is asked some questions. The answers to these questions are used to compile a personalized course on the fly. The resulting course is then presented as a "personalized textbook" which is in fact a customized extract of the underlying textbook.

In addition, the courses may be used to structure certain topics, or to extract and compile material with a different view on the contents.

The courses can be assembled by a built-in course designer.
