Transform textbook content
Modify and enhance content to create tailored class materials that align with learning objectives.
Make the books fit your teaching style
We understand the importance of adapting educational resources to meet the learning objectives of your class.

Step 1
Explore our catalog for top resources from leading-edge authors and publishers. Instructors can request free review copies for course customization.
Step 2
Enhance content with multimedia, or just use the content as is. Skip irrelevant chapters, or change the order to match your syllabus.
Step 3
Assign your customized materials to your students or embed them inside your LMS, and engage for improved educational outcomes.
