During these challenging economic times, record numbers of Americans are returning to school in search of marketable degrees and job skills, yet, according to a United States GAO report, the average cost of books and supplies for a first-time, full-time student at a public community college is 72 percent of the cost of tuition and fees. This is an untenable situation for the student, and Pearson Learning Solutions is committed to working with the educator to make education affordable and accessible again.
Custom publishing quite simply means better educational value, with lower costs and less waste. When educators streamline course materials to mirror course goals, they take control of what their students purchase for class and how that content is delivered. This content can take the form of a customized textbook, eBook or online material. Since students only buy the material actually used in class, they pay significantly less – a much better value than buying multiple books that they will only partly use. Customized course content is educationally valuable and the quality design, development and production we provide ensure that students are also purchasing a valuable, long-lasting resource. Please feel free to check out our success stories from schools across the U.S. and Canada.
