Yudu Media Launches Device-agnostic Publishing Platform for Digital Texts
Summary
The new platform helps educators create documents that can be annotated, bookmarked and additional materials can also be integrated by students. However, as educational budgets are usually tight, procuring devices is a cost that schools need to watch and of course getting materials onto tablets often needs a little training for instructors to create something engaging for students. “Yudu Education solves the biggest challenge of the Bring-Your-Own-Device era for both publishers and students – cross-platform access,” said CEO Richard Stephenson. “Students may need to read and take notes on a Windows PC in the classroom, but then want to pick up where they left off on their iPad at home.“ Content creators using the Yudu platform can also sell their materials direct to consumers, which helps to avoid syndication charges along the way. Yudu says that the new platform is based on its established technology that has been used by top publishers including Weldon Owen, Random House and HarperCollins among others.
