Extend learning beyond the classroom

Affordable and easy to use, Pearson eText helps students keep on learning no matter where their day takes them. The mobile app lets students read and study, even when they are offline. They can also add highlights, bookmarks, and notes in their Pearson eText to study how they like.

There are two ways you can use Pearson eText in your class: as a digital version of the Pearson title you’re using that students purchase on their own, or as an assignable course that lets you interact with students directly in the eText.

Begin by browsing available Pearson eText titles in your discipline (click “eText” at the top of the page) and selecting the title you would like to use.

How students purchase:

Pearson eText. Direct your students to Pearson where they can easily search by title or ISBN to purchase a Pearson eText subscription.

Pearson eText as a course. Create your course, personalize your content, and invite students to join. Students will purchase access to Pearson eText using your course invite link.
