There’s a new tool that can help college stores be part
of course-materials discussions. SIPX Campus makes it possible for campus
entities, such as the college store, to set up course readings on behalf of
instructors.
The tool is one of three created by ProQuest SIPX, a provider of digital course
material solutions. SIPX Central allows instructors to select course readings
through a self-service, cloud-based interface. SIPX for MOOCs enables course
readings for massive open online courses to be organized for an institution by
the company’s service team and simplifies copyright permissions, according to a report for Campus Technology.
The tools also provide free access to course-relevant
content to students, tools for sharing nonsubscribed copyrighted materials, and
analytics to monitor student engagement with assignments.
