Kortext Support STEM Students Globally, by Securing Partnership with OpenStax

lterrat's bookmarks 2017-08-17

Summary:

"Kortext, the UK's leading personalised etextbook company and OpenStax, a non-profit ed-tech initiative that provides free, peer-reviewed, openly licensed textbooks to millions of students in the U.S., have partnered to provide 23 OpenStax titles in the Kortext library, increasing the number of accessible STEM titles available for universities worldwide.

The partnership will connect the UK's leading etextbook platform with one of the biggest open access educational repositories in the U.S. in order to contribute to closing the growing 'STEM skills gap'. This has become an area of keen interest for UK universities and investment for the UK government (based on report 151, conducted by the Science and Technology Committee for the House of Commons 2017)."
