About LEARN NC

About LearnPress

LearnPress is a system for publishing web-based multipaged works (called “editions”) built from text pages and multimedia. Editions can look like anything from a slideshow to a textbook, and may have chapters, tables of contents, glossaries, indexes, bibliographies — all the parts of a print book. But because LearnPress editions are designed for the web, they're easy to use on the web.

In addition, the pages and images from which editions are constructed are available in a library. When you search for pages, you'll find links to editions of which they're a part. When you search for images, you'll find links to pages that include them. You can use as much or as little as you need, and it's all interconnected.
