Increasing Adoption of eBooks Among Schools and Universities

eBooks help educational organizations meet three key strategic priorities: improving the student experience and academic outcomes in an increasingly competitive environment; driving innovation in learning, teaching, and research; and assisting in the effective and efficient use of space and human resources. Ensuring timely access to key books has been a fundamental challenge for universities and their libraries for many years, as well as the lack of sufficient copies has regularly featured as the top complaint in student surveys. The adoption of eBooks is a convenient option as students can read them at anytime from anywhere, which helps meet their expectations in a better and efficient manner.

The program, provided by the Department of Criminology, is designed for people who work in international development or want to work in the field. Students of this program can be employed in military settings, distant regions, or as peacekeepers, far from traditional learning environment. Every student is provided with an iPad with course materials and eBooks, as well as access to a course app. Students can read these eBooks without an internet connection, which can be frequently unavailable or unreliable in their workplace. Thus, the rise in adoption of eBooks across schools, universities is fueling the growth of the global digital publishing market.
