Ingram Content Group Inc., a US-based provider of physical and digital services to the book industry, has announced that DeSales University and Salus University have selected Ingram's VitalSource Bookshelf e-learning platform to enhance the interactive learning tools, curriculum and content for students in their physician assistant programs.
Collaborating with DeSales University and Salus University, Vital Source created custom e-textbook programmes for the physician assistant curriculums offered by each institution. Content for each program was acquired by Vital Source from multiple, leading textbook publishers.
Students in both programs have the flexibility to access their e-textbooks through the school's learning management system. Content may also be used online and offline through a variety of operating systems and devices, and users can make notes, highlights and annotations in their e-textbooks, which automatically sync across devices. In addition, students can share and subscribe to notes and highlights from their peers.
The VitalSource Bookshelf platform is the most used e-textbook delivery platform in higher education with more than 3.25 million users across 6,000 campuses around the world. It uses the latest technology to enhance the learning experience through e-textbooks and digital education. Content from more than 350 of the world’s top academic publishers is available to VitalSource Bookshelf platform users, including those living with disabilities, on a variety of operating systems and devices.
