Just When Universities, Colleges, and Companies needed real innovation in E-Learning content….
It is no secret that the covid-19 situation has caused great pain to universities, colleges, government, and companies that deal with on-line training. All these organizations are facing the same problem --- how can the quality of online content be improved in terms instructional effectiveness while helping reduce cost of content acquisition and delivery.
For those schools and organizations planning their programs for next year, Electric Book Company is now offering development services for their ‘Study Suite’ offering.
A video showing a short example of how Study Suites work is available here.
In terms of post-secondary organizations, departments delivering training in algebra or physics that make use of textbooks published by OpenStax can now bundle their school’s instructional videos to serve as a video library (or ‘study suite’) that is text-searchable by students. In essence, the textbook serves as the launch site to search only the videos provided by the school for text terms of interest.
Schools or companies that have already invested significant resources into video production now have another outlet for that content by associating the collection with quality textbooks published by OpenStax. These study suites can be used by students with no need for complex integration with a formal Learning Management System. In addition, the suite can be used as a promotional vehicle, since study suites can be accessed by students anywhere – meaning your organization’s content can provide an important example of quality instruction which can help recruit students (or employees).
Currently, EBC supports Study Suite development for subjects in College Algebra and University Physics (but more titles are already in progress!).
Give the video a look, drop us a note, and let’s work together to turn today’s challenges into tomorrow’s opportunities!
