Let us take on the task of converting your materials.

Our platform allows instructors to publish and digitally distribute their original course materials such as
lecture notes, handouts, lab manuals, etc. These materials can either be distributed as a stand-alone
collection, or they can be integrated into an editable digital textbook like the ones we have from: OpenStax,
LibreTexts, and other OER sources.

Most faculty have existing course materials and do not have time for the task of manually rebuilding them in a
compliant form. Expert TA provides an import tool, and support services, that allow for existing materials to be
converted into an accessible and editable form, without a major commitment from the instructor.

Overview

  • Digital Delivery: Within the Expert TA platform, each of your ‘collections’ is available via a digital eBook.
  • Flexible Content Organization: Instructors can organize lecture notes, lab manuals, handouts, and other materials into a single eBook collection, or separate them into multiple standalone collections based on how the course is structured..
  • Integrate in OER Textbooks: Course materials can also be rolled into a number of OER texts: OpenStax (all titles supported), selected Libretext titles, and others.
  • Editable and Updating: A powerful rich-text editor is provided that allows instructors to edit any of their own materials and/or any OER textbook available within our platform. Push edits to your class anytime via a one-click publish process.
  • LMS Integration: LTI 1.3 and 1.1 connectivity provide for single-sign-on, grades synchronization, and more. Your course materials will be just a click away.
