“As
the leading secondary publisher in the Caribbean, we are absolutely delighted
to have signed this agreement with BookFusion and to be in a position to
support a local business.
Caribbean at Oxford
University Press, Oliver Thornton commenting on the partnership between Oxford
University Press and BookFusion Ltd
With
so many tablets and smartphones in the hands of kids, there is a need for
digital content for the student to read as was asserted under the TIS (Tablet
in Schools Program as explained in my blog article
entitled “How
JA$114 million spent on Math, English and Science for TIS Project Tablets by
January 2015”.
To
this end, Oxford University Press and BookFusion Ltd have partnered to deliver
quality digital educational resources for the Caribbean as reported in the
article “Oxford
University Press, BookFusion To Bring Digital Resources Into Classrooms”,
published Thursday May 9, 2019, The
Jamaica Gleaner.
The Oxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford responsible for the publication of their literary and written work. University of Oxford is a University of Oxford.
Their
collaboration will support the following customers looking to bring more
digital into the classroom:
1. Caribbean
schools
2. Institutions
3. Ministries
of education
This
as they will deliver a comprehensive range of educational resources, accessible
across all devices anytime, anywhere!
BookFusion and Oxford
University Press - Ebooks are the future of education
BookFusion
Ltd, a leading eBook provider in the Caribbean, works to provide students
across the region with ebooks for SCEC and CAPE. The platform currently hosts
several Oxford eBooks mainly:
1. Lower
secondary resource ebooks
2. CSEC®
ebooks
3. CAPE®
ebooks
Plans
to increase their offering by the need of 2019 are afoot. This would include:
1. Investigating
Science for Jamaica Second Edition
2. Principles
of Accounts for CSEC® Second Edition
3. Information
Technology for CSEC® Third Edition
They
also host the popular CXC® Study Guide series as well. So this is a big plus
for not only BookFusion and Oxford, but for the CXC as well.
So
says publisher for the Caribbean at Oxford University Press, Oliver Thornton, “Adding
to the list of partners in the region that we work with, it will ensure that
many more students and teachers will have access to our market-leading
resources across a huge range of subjects and series, including the CXC Study
Guides”.
Still
you can always download ebooks for free at my MICO Wars blog article “How
Students and Teachers can find free Reference and Fiction books”.
Clearly,
BookFusion and Oxford University Press see that ebook content is the future for
Education. So Jamaicans need to partake in this revolution via making their own
books and online services.
