Combating the Higher-Ed Used Book Market
3. Educate professors for course redesign
Major learning companies are swiftly evolving their core value proposition towards educational software, in many cases referred to as courseware. The most highly touted aspect of this innovation lies in adaptive learning technology, which presents the potential for real improvements to overall education as students are empowered to learn at a personalized pace. Being non-transferable software products, they also present an economic salvation for learning companies from the secondary market. Implementing these new software-enhanced learning behaviors requires heavy professor adoption. To accomplish this, "course redesign" is necessary -- a process by which professors are taught how to implement new products for use in class.
