New Ereading Platform Bridges the Gap Between Publishers and Teachers
Since its founding, Qlovi has signed on approximately 20,000 teachers and reaches over 100,000 students. More than 20 publishers provide titles for Qlovi, and in May the company announced major partnerships with HarperCollins and Open Road Integrated Media.
Qlovi wants to be more than a distributor and hopes to provide publishers with meaningful data on how titles are used. Currently, the platform provides sales data to publishers, but it has the capability to do more. Because the Qlovi ereader includes several free tools for teachers like Common Core aligned lessons, assessments, grading rubrics, and lesson-building tools, valuable data can be collected on title usage. Qlovi is able to assess the impact of individual titles on achievement, what titles are most popular, and what titles are helping teachers meet Common Core standards. In the near future the ebook platform will offer publishers in-depth reports on how their books are being used in the classroom.
