Seattle, WA (PRWEB) July 21, 2014
Akademos, Inc. announced the release of its CoursePack Creator 2.0 tool today at NACUBO 2014.
“CoursePack Creator 2.0 is an enhanced web-based tool that makes it easier than ever for instructors to create cost-effective, custom compilations of academic material,” said John Squires, Chief Executive Officer of Akademos. “At Akademos, we are committed to developing forward-thinking solutions to improve the faculty textbook and course materials adoption process.”
Widely recognized as an alternative to traditional textbooks and class handouts, instructors in higher education have realized the benefits of adopting CoursePacks. "As a professor at Benedictine College, I know textbook affordability is a major concern for students, and CoursePacks certainly can provide a cheaper alternative," said Andrew Jaeger, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Benedictine College. "Akademos' new tool offers a simple way to compile collected readings from textbooks, journals, online sources or even my syllabi. I'm eagerly looking forward to using the CoursePack Creator 2.0 tool to create content next semester.”
CoursePack Creator 2.0 will offer faculty and instructors a greater degree of control over their course materials. Features include, but are not limited to:
- Ability to create custom cover art and designs
- Easy to use drag-and-drop interface to organize chapters
- Blending of both publisher and instructor created content
