Inkling Secures Investment from Top Education Publishers
“Inkling gives us a chance to introduce 'from scratch' interactivity into the educational experience,” said Gary June, chief global marketing officer at Pearson. “This is a critical part of our efforts to leverage next generation devices in new ways that will improve performance and retention.”
Textbooks on Inkling’s platform are built from the ground up for multi-touch devices like iPad, bringing a level of engagement and learning that’s impossible with flat reproductions of print books. Students love the rich interactivity, self quizzes, easy search and annotation tools, and the ability to buy by the chapter, saving them money. Professors like that Inkling textbooks drive better student engagement and achievement without requiring any change in instruction. Plus, social collaboration among students and between professor and student opens doors to entirely new ways to learn.
