About XanEdu CoursePacks
What are course packs?
Course packs are generally a compilation of articles, cases,
textbook chapters, and other copyrighted materials compiled
to supplement learning materials for an individual instructor
or course. Course packs can take the place of expensive
textbooks or simply provide supplemental course readings
where a traditional textbook is required or preferred. XanEdu
CoursePacks provide an affordable, flexible, and copyright-compliant
way to provide students with high-quality custom course
materials.
What kind of course packs does XanEdu provide?
 XanEdu
high-quality custom CoursePacks are available in traditional
print, digital, or digital plus print formats.
- Print — Traditionally printed CoursePacks
offer a table of contents, pagination and bibliography
and a variety of production options including color and
custom covers, and comb, staple, three-hole, tape, or
perfect binding.
- Digital — Available through the Web, these
CoursePacks are accessed by students online when they
obtain a unique registration code. Students can read items
online or print a hardcopy from their personal computer.
Digital CoursePacks can be easily enhanced with a range
of multimedia content options.
- Digital Plus Print — XanEdu's most complete
solution combines our traditional print format with the
flexibility of digital CoursePacks. Each printed CoursePack
also contains an access code for the online materials.
This format adds great value to programs for which students
are distance learners, or students who learn both on campus
and online.
