Etextbooks

Etextbooks are interactive, digital versions of core texts that are available anytime, anywhere. They can be easily accessed and downloaded to your device, meaning you can be learning from day one of your course.  

We have partnered with Kortext, our etextbook provider, to provide you with access to around 100 key titles as part of a six-month pilot project.  

As most teaching and learning will be delivered online for now, the timing of this pilot couldn’t be more perfect. Etextbooks will help you create a more personalised and engaging online teaching and learning experience that will benefit both students and academic teaching staff.
