Re-flowable eText

Goals and features

Planned new client for the eText Platform family - late Q4

Re-flowable, XML-based content as compared to existing fidelity-based eText.

Great for mobile devices

Will take advantage of existing eText platform integration and authentication capabilities.

Bookshelves will be enhanced to support both traditional and re-flowable eText starting in v4.7.

XML eText

Non-fidelity client that can be viewed on variety of devices

A client that delivers content from the new Pearson Education workflow

Takes advantage of the substantial web services CMS already has in place

Co-exist with existing eText clients

XML eText

Utilize Pearson authentication systems – SMS, RUMBA and eCollege, etc.

Integrated with Pearson Learning Platforms

Direct access via Digital Bookshelves XML-based, ePUB3 file format? Base-line ebook functionality Likely one of many possible clients

Analytics

Pearson eText: We already can view daily volume and visitor characteristics via Google Analytics*

With new v4.5, all eText server events are being logged for analysis/reporting For each event, we capture Username, Book ID, Course ID, IP address, and Time Key server events:

Pages viewed Create/save/share notes, highlights, and bookmarks Search activity e.g. words, phrases Access to rich media via hotspot and custom baskets Glossary term access

Using LTG reporting tools, Business Units can learn: # of times a user entered an eText Length of user stay Page viewing sequence Use of book personalizations Use of interactive elements e.g. pop-ups, rich media assets, documents, etc.

* Browser, O/S, Traffic Source, Flash, Screen res., Java Support, etc.
