creating a course based on a book. is it possible?

Hi. I'm going to create a course that is based on a fiction book. Would that be possible? I mean, won't it break any rules here? I haven't seen any similar courses here

    You can create a course on pretty much anything, except for the stuff you'd expect to be prohibited:

    My concern is copyright law. I don't really know what your course will be about, but if it's based on someone else's fiction book, remember you generally can't use someone else's content without their permission.

  • Are you the author?

    Several of my courses are based on my books, but I own the copyright to all the material. If you are not the copyright holder than you do not have a right to use the author's intellectual property.

    I have no idea how you would create a course based on fiction, however.
