PRINT

Colleges that provide physical, print versions of texts can trust Pearson’s award-winning course materials, authored by respected educators and practitioners in Canada and across the globe.

Our catalogue of both domestic and international texts cover a wide range of disciplines and employment categories. To order physical texts from Pearson, your institution can register for a free OASIS account (or log into your existing account) – to find out more about OASIS, click here. If your institution has traditionally encouraged students to use print texts but you’re interested in the benefits of going digital, click the “DIGITAL” tab to learn more!

DIGITAL

Pearson’s digital resource options vary, and can be customized based your individual college’s needs. Pearson offers digital texts in a variety of formats, as well as entire customizable courses built in our three learning platforms – MyLab, Mastering and Revel. These learning platforms are built upon the principles of learning science and are designed to engage your students, helping you to enable active learning and achieve better results.

Pearson’s digital learning platforms include tools like simulations, digital interactives, adaptive study modules and video demonstrations to provide hands-on learning and help instructors reach students with a wide range of learning styles and competencies.

If your institution is using digital resources, you can also sign up for our inclusive access program, which makes sure your students get direct access to the resource they need on the first day of class for a discounted price.

Digital Textbook Options

Pearson offers different types and formats of digital textbooks (or eTexts), and can provide these to your institution through a variety of channels. All eTextbooks offer the ability for students to highlight and take notes and can be accessed both online and offline. All eTextbooks are available both on the Pearson learner store (if you want your students to purchase directly) as well as through our channel partners. Our eTextbooks are designed to be read on a number of external digital reading platforms, including VitalSource, Adobe Digital Editions and more. Most platforms provide two options for purchase: a 180 day subscription (where students can access the title for 6 months), or perpetual access (a download with no expiry). The standard file format for these eTextbooks are uPDFs or ePubs, and pricing for eTextbooks varies by title.

There are many purchase and access options for students who want to use eTextbooks. Not only do we provide a direct channel (through our learner store) for students to purchase, but we also partner with eTextbook distributors to allow institutions to make bulk purchases and provide groups of students with instant access. Below is a summary of the partners that enable eTextbook purchases:

Platform	Description
VitalSource	Partner site, offering titles from Pearson and other publishers
Kivuto	Kivuto is another partner site similar to VitalSource, and can work with schools to set up an online store (which can integrate with your LMS) to facilitate the purchase of select digital products

Other distributors (Google Play, Amazon)	Partner sites, where students can purchase and access titles from Pearson and other publishers
