Ed Map, RedShelf Team up on Learning Resources
RedShelf and Ed Map have partnered in a move that will make the former's e-reader and more than 380,000 titles available to Ed Map clients.
As a result of the partnership, RedShelf's e-reader will be integrated with Ed Map's course materials management platform, Openvue.
"Working with RedShelf also enhances Curate by Ed Map," said Kerry S. Pigman, president and COO of Ed Map, in a prepared statement. "Curate enables the discovery, alignment and selection of multiple types of educational content, including OER (open educational resources) and disaggregated content, that support learning outcomes. The Redshelf e-reader will facilitate seamless access to course packs, collections and other materials identified by Curate."
"The cost of traditional, printed course materials has led many students to choose not to purchase materials at all," said Greg Fenton, co-founder and CEO of RedShelf, in a news release. "Our partnership with Ed Map will make it easier than ever for students to access affordable, digital course materials, thereby enabling them to focus on succeeding in class, rather than on the cost of their books."
