About Us

CourseSmart LLC is a new venture founded and supported by five higher education textbook publishers. Our mission is to improve teaching and learning by providing instructors and students better exposure and access to digital course materials.

CourseSmart brings together thousands of textbooks across hundreds of courses in an ebook format on a common platform. In doing so we provide a number of unique benefits to instructors, students, partners and institutions.

• For instructors, CourseSmart provides instant access to review and compare textbooks and course materials in their discipline area without the time, cost, and environmental impact of mailing print exam copies.
• CourseSmart allows students to find their assigned textbook as an eTextbook at savings that average 51% versus the print version.
• For many students, the value of CourseSmart is in the web functionality. Search, instant access, note taking, and a lighter backpack are some of the benefits of an eTextbook that excite students. For more student comments on the CourseSmart eTextbook, check out "What Students are Saying."
• Partners and institutions that partner with CourseSmart benefit from having a large selection of eTextbooks available in a common format from a single provider. CourseSmart is an ideal partner for those looking to lower the total cost of education and open new opportunities through a more "wired" campus.
