Print and digital education materials provider Pearson has been selected by Solar Energy International (SEI), a provider of technical training in solar, wind, water power and natural building technologies, to create a new professional textbook series available in print and eBook formats.
SEI offers hands-on workshops and online technical training for careers in renewable energy as well as continuing education for those already employed in the industry. Through its SEI Solar Professionals Certificate Program and other solar training, SEI serves between 2,000-3,000 students annually and has served over 20,000 students in its 20 years of service to the renewable energy industry.
Beginning in June, the first book in the new SEI Textbook Series will be available for SEI courses and other training organisations that have adopted SEI’s textbooks in solar electric design and installation and solar business and technical sales. Students have access to print and eBook formats through the textbook bundle and can access their content via their Mac or PC, or via Pearson’s eText for iPad app.
Pearson’s eText for iPad app presents digital content in the same high resolution as on a computer, even when pages are zoomed, and displays perfect fidelity to the print book. Students can easily add their own personalisation (notes, highlights, bookmarks) while working on their iPads.
