Custom Publishing

Custom Publishing

If you’re not currently realising the full benefits of a traditional book or package, consider a custom solution where you can combine the best course materials, organised the way you want them at better value for your students.

With a Pearson Custom book, you can expect:

• Quality
  Our custom programme allows you to adapt your course material by letting you choose content from Pearson textbooks, case studies, readings, lab manuals, or your own original work to match your course objectives and personal approach. Customising your content provides a clear roadmap to your course allowing your students to be more engaged.
  
  
• Savings
  If you currently use only a portion of your required text then you can help your students at the bookstore! For many class sizes, Pearson Custom enables you to put together course materials that are the perfect fit. Content can be organised just the way you want them, so your students will enjoy substantial cost savings and adding value to their purchase.
  
  
• Control
  Our custom books and lab manuals take the guesswork out of text revision cycles. You can extend the life of your custom book beyond the off-the-shelf types by deciding how, when, and whether you want to revise - annually or less frequently. If you adopt a custom book and elect not to change its contents for next semester, your bookstore can buy the used books as it would any standard text.
  
  

Pearson can also help you bridge the gap between classroom and online instruction. We offer a wide selection of quality online content and media services to provide the best solution for blended learning, integrated course management, self-directed student mediation and revision. We will work with you to help you identify a media solution that will work for you, ranging from simple customisations of existing technology offerings to the creation of full-scale interactive applications, as well as department and campus-wide solutions.

What you can expect:

• A wide choice of existing online content
• Course Management content
• Companion Websites
• CD/DVD content
• eBooks
• Online grading and assessment tools
• The ability to integrate your own media sources
• Podcasts
• Audio or video
• Video embedded PowerPoint slides
• Websites
