Pearson Partners with Jisc to Speed Textbook Transition to Digital

Pearson has signed a one-year partnership agreement with Jisc to speed the transition of its school textbooks to digital.

The agreement with Jisc, a UK not-for-profit specialised in digital technology for higher education, further education and research, is said to be based on "extensive engagement and feedback" from Jisc members and following six months of talks between Jisc and Pearson.

Pearson revealed yesterday (22nd September) a pilot scheme that will enable Jisc’s institution clients to gain access to Pearson’s entire range of e-textbooks.
