XanEdu, the leading faculty-preferred provider of custom course materials and textbooks, has partnered with Barnes & Noble and Texas A&M to conduct research on the efficacy of accessing and studying custom course materials within NookStudy. Students at Texas A&M will access their XanEdu course materials in NookStudy and provide valuable feedback on usability, accessibility and feature preferences of both the application itself, and the digital content provided.

NookStudy enables students to manage all of their digital content – eTextbooks, class materials, and notes within one application – and is available for any student to download free on the computing device they rely on most, their PC or Mac.

“NookStudy was designed with extensive input from college students, professors and administrators,” said Jade Roth, Vice President of Books & Digital Strategy at Barnes & Noble College Booksellers, LLC. “Expanding our long standing partnership with XanEdu, the leading publisher of custom digital course materials for higher education, is the next natural step. Our two companies share common goals for enriching the classroom experience, providing easier access to course materials, and supporting collaboration among students and faculty.”

Information gained through the research will enable XanEdu to better support and expand its platform-neutral delivery model.

Thanks to Michael von Glahn for the heads up.
