From Campus Technology:
The Apple iPad-based textbook has arrived–at least in Canada. Eminata Group, which runs six for-profit colleges and universities on 38 campuses in 22 Canadian cities, will be replacing traditional textbooks with digital ones over the next three years in a new deal with Pearson.
Starting in September, 1,600 students at CDI College, Vancouver Career College, and Reeves College will receive iPad tablets preloaded with their textbooks running on Pearson’s eText for iPad app. Two of those institutions have run pilot programs with the technology. Over the next three years, Eminata representatives say they expect to convert all of the company’s school programs for 14,000 students to digital textbook delivery.
