The Learning Counsel’s Lunch and Learn discussions are a great way to investigate the products and services recommended by Learning Counsel Research. In this Lunch and Learn discussion, Robin Nunis, the National K-12 Sales Executive at Vital Source, brings you the information you need to optimize your district’s digital ecosystem. According to Robyn, “Today I wanted to talk to about Launch. Launch is a product where we provide digital content. And by digital content, I mean, eBooks and courseware, on the same platform so that your students, aren't stressing…, I've got to go over here. I've got to go over there. I've got to get into this staff, that app, whatever will be. This would be one place that would have your eBooks, your courseware, all your content to go with single sign on.
“We optimize your digital ecosystem. We have seamless access SSO. We can deliver courseware, we can do deep content integration. If you want to have links and stuff that go further in the courseware or into the book, we can do that. And we also have several rostering solutions. So your students know, there's courseware here. I can just launch from here. We also do OpenStax.
“If your district is doing dual enrollment, there have been a lot of challenges for districts to be able to obtain that content easily for their students. In the past, it would be either buying print and trying to get those passed out, sending them to different bookstores or Amazon, or sending them to a bookstore to get access codes. And then all of a sudden, this class may not be taught. Or, they may be adding a class and you're stuck with all this stuff. So, we have come up with a product called Explore, where students in dual enrollment can just go out there and we have all your content, all your courseware and the district can manage which students are in which courses. If someone moves somewhere else and you need to move someone in, it's a couple of clicks, as opposed to sending them all over the place to buy content.”
With all the complexities of buying and delivering content, simplicity is the name of the game. To simplify your content world, tune into this exciting Lunch and Learn presentation with Vital Source.
