June 10th 2009 - Where do we fit?

Author: Craig Schoen

That seems to be the question everyone is asking themselves today. Where is the future going with paper. From every classroom to every board meeting it is on peoples minds, and for good reason. When you break this paradigm shift into its basic components it becomes a shift not just of medium, but how we share and gain knowledge from that medium.

It is clear that digital mediums are more adapted to share knowldege with a community of people than standard paper. What is clear is that schools need to retain full control over their knowledge assets and provide a simple cost effective way to deliver custom course content that makes sense for everyone. We have designed UCoursePack to meet this challenge by keeping the process and distribution of course content the same by integrating a tangable element into the digital learning model, which is the usb key.

Based on our research on how we interact with technology it is clear the having something in the students hands will ensure they are able to use it more often, and take greater ownership over it. This is important because the more the student interacts with their course ware using UCoursePack the more they are offering to the knowledge of the course, facilitated by the community builder.

So where do we fit in. We are the most simple way to transition your courses from paper to digital while keeping the support process for copy centers and book stores and students the same as what they are used to.
