As many of you know, I’ve worked in the education industry for over 35 years. Obviously, much has changed in that time as technology has transformed the way we work and serve our customers. Perhaps most emblematic of that change is the news we announced earlier this month about our new Evergreen delivery model for higher education. A decade ago, we still predominantly sold print textbooks, which instructors could choose to adopt for their courses and that we updated with new editions every few years. Today, those textbooks have been mostly replaced by ebooks or sophisticated courseware that includes the content found in our print materials, but also includes many powerful tools to help students learn more efficiently and help instructors run their courses. Now, our Evergreen model is moving us another step further. With over 90% of our higher education business being digital, we are now able to build new infrastructure that shifts us into a world where we no longer need to plan content updates around traditional textbook edition cycles. We publish content updates live in our courseware at times that are convenient for faculty and allow them to choose when to incorporate updates into their courses. This keeps content current and relevant for today’s students. Our Evergreen delivery model also lays the groundwork for a system not built strictly around ISBNs, allowing our content and tools to be more modular and to give instructors the ability to configure a course in the way that works for them and their students. I have been excited to talk about this for a long time – and glad that day is finally here. Congratulations to the massive team at MH that has made the Evergreen delivery model happen.
