Courseload: Any Textbook. Any Content. Any Device.


Introducing Courseload
The cost of textbooks has risen twice as fast as other costs in higher education. Research indicates that more than one-third of all students go without one or more textbooks each year, driving students, parents, faculty, and school leaders to actively look for ways to cut textbooks costs. Courseload offers an electronic version of any textbook on any web-enabled device for one-third to one-half of the price of a traditional printed textbook.


Student Benefits
With Courseload, students see up to a 70% reduction in the cost of new textbooks. All course materials are accessible through any web-based device (Laptops, iPads, Android devices, Smartphones, etc) taking the bulk out of the backpack. Students say they learn more from an e-textbook read on Courseload. Cheaper, lighter, and better for learning. No wonder three quarters of students prefer Courseload to traditional textbooks.



Instructor Benefits
Courseload’s faculty dashboard enables new ways to teach and understand how students learn with real-time analytics and note sharing. Choose any textbook, workbook, article, publication, or video you like; we can handle it. Want to incorporate multimedia materials into your courses? We can do that too.

Let us help you find a better way to help students lower their costs and improve their learning.
