Future Think: GinkgoTree
Tending the Future of Online Learning
Enter GinkgoTree, a fresh-faced start-up from a group of former academics who, after bemoaning the lack of a cheaper alternative to expensive textbooks and a more elegant alternative to online course packs, decided that theirs was the solution they were waiting for.
Described by The Atlantic as "a Tumblr for making your own textbooks" and intended to be a complete textbook replacement, GinkgoTree's team set out to make it as easy as possible for instructors to pull almost any content, be it from a book, journal, newspaper, pdf, video, Web site, online resource or Word, PowerPoint or Excel document, into a streamlined online course.
