Migrate to eTextbooks

Deciding to move from print course materials to digital versions seems deceptively simple. After all, the benefits of such a move are well known and include:

  • Reduced acquisition costs
  • Easy and immediate access to course materials. This can be particularly useful for military students in remote locations around the globe
  • Ability to support late enrollments and rapidly growing programs. It is a scalable solution
  • No inventory carrying costs
  • No shipping costs

The reality of implementing the decision to achieve the benefits, however, belies that assumption. (Here's just one cautionary tale.) Many of the titles on your booklists may not be available digitally, and having publishers simply convert files to a PDF format, though relatively quick, may not provide the best student experience. ED MAP helps you develop an end-to-end digital migration strategy that helps you realize your goals for the project – including significant cost savings and increased efficiencies in delivering course materials.

What Our Customers
& Partners Are Saying

"ED MAP is extremely responsive to our changing needs and responds with the positive approach we expect from someone who wants to be our partner for the long-term and not just another vendor waiting for the bill to be paid. In addition, ED MAP is committing resources to a large conversion we are making to deliver our classroom materials in digital format. The undertaking is immense and promises exciting benefits for our students, but the complexity requires constant attention that ED MAP is willing to commit on our behalf. If you want a partner instead of a vendor, you simply have to choose ED MAP."
