Can I use a book to teach?
The Answer:
Of course. For some types of Courses, books are simply indispensable.
If you are going to use a book to teach your Student, there are fields on your Course where you can upload a picture that "you" took of the book cover, where you can set the title and the ISBN of the book. Do mention in your description that having the book is a requirement, if you need them to own this book as well. This is a great strategy to attract more Students who are familiar with this book.
Note: Uploading a picture you have taken of the a book cover and posting it here on your Course for the purpose of teaching and to encourage your Student to buy the book, is generally considered "fair use" under the copyright law.
