Whether you’re a distributor, publisher, author, or teacher, your main focus is to deliver profitable teaching materials that truly meet learners' individual wants and needs. Not an easy task as digitisation causes traditional boundaries to fade.
EDIA understands your challenges, opportunities and the world in which you move.


(RE)Distributors

We help distributors to maximise this:

  • One-stop-shop of learning materials for schools and learners

  • Variation in content that can be offered to schools (meet diversity of needs)

  • Discoverability of content by schools and learners

  • Revenue from learning materials sold

And minimise this:

  • Time spent on metadata tagging publisher’s content for discovery

  • Physical books in stock

  • Costs of distribution

  • Effectiveness of learning content 

  • Content alignment with and coverage of (national) curriculum standards

  • Dependency on distributors for digital content


Authors

We help authors to maximise this:

  • Quality of content written

  • Subject matter authority

Instructors & teachers

We help instructors and teachers to maximise this:

  • Learning outcomes of learners

And minimise this:
