Courseload's seamlessly integrated platform delivers course materials through any web-enabled device (computers, laptops, iPads and Android devices, smart-phones, etc.) allowing all course material to be located in a single place. With digital tools that enable search, highlighting, annotating, and creating links to online content, the technology is easy-to-access and simple to use.

Bookstores know their customer needs are changing and so do we! We started selling our All Access Pass (AAP) in the fall of 2011. Since then we've got a lot of positive feedback from students for the ease of use and instant access meeting their demands for multiple, affordable choices they can access anytime, anywhere, on any device . We now want to bring our bookstore partners into the fold by allowing them to sell All Access Pass redemption codes in their store. The All Access Pass helps bookstores stay competitive, better serve customers, and be "paper-lite."

we find ourselves in an environment that is fast evolving from one based on one-to-many relationships to one based on many-to-many relationships, powered by social networking sites, consumer and cloud technologies, and mobile devices. In this brave new world, we CIOs have a lot less authority and control than we expected.
