Pearson and the Eminata Group Launch North America’s Largest iPad-Based eTextbooks Initiative for Postsecondary Institutions via kwout
This fall students at CDI College, Vancouver Career College and Reeves College will pilot iPad and Pearson textbooks in the Accounting and Payroll Administration program. This is the start of a program that will see 14,000 students at 38 campuses in 22 cities across Canada move to etextbooks within 3 years. While these types of pilot programs are new in Canada institutions like ACU, Seton Hill, Southern California and many others have been running pilots with iPads and etextbooks for the past year in the US.
Let’s all hope that Pearson has applied what it has learned in these early pilots and is offering an improved product and experience for the Canadian students who will be using these new tools for the first time this fall.
