XanEdu Means Convenience at University of Texas Dallas
Colleges and universities have the unique responsibility of providing
students with quality, relevant materials for their courses—while at the same
time offering a more enriched service experience to students for fewer dollars.
XanEdu works with you to quickly provide your institution with the
copyright-cleared course materials that meet your needs.
"Convenience is key," says Mike Brown, Textbook Manager, University of Texas
at Dallas Barnes & Noble Bookstore, "and that's exactly what XanEdu gives us.
I've worked at UT Dallas for 13 years, and I used to have to keep a giant file
of all articles and publishers, call all of them for approvals, and then wait to
hear back from them. It was very time consuming and frustrating. Now I just send
a list of articles to XanEdu and they take care of everything—from checking
copyright clearance to cleaning up old, fading, and blurry articles and making
them clear and easy-to-read."
"At UT Dallas, we use XanEdu for both print and digital coursepacks. We keep
the print copies on the shelves with the digital access codes so students can
also access them online. We use XanEdu Digital CoursePacks because they're easy
to access around the world. Many of our classes are executive groups, a class of
40-50 students who are corporate executives getting an MBA. They don't have time
to track down course materials, and XanEdu provides quality, easy-to-use Digital
CoursePacks with quick turnaround."
Another reason Brown chooses to use XanEdu is because of the quality customer
service he receives. "XanEdu is a huge step up, both in the type of product
provided and in the outstanding customer service. I've only used a couple of
other coursepack vendors but they offered virtually no customer service at all.
My XanEdu account representative is excellent—he's always easy to reach and
available to work with me. The corporate office has always been very helpful as
well. If I have a special request, XanEdu does everything possible to get it
done. Their impeccable customer service makes my job easier."
Brown says that using XanEdu also helps with the bottom line. "When cutting
costs, one of the first things that we look at is employee payroll, because that
is a factor within our control. I can keep the costs down with XanEdu because
the service they provide would be such a time-consuming task for one of our
employees to perform. With that time and money savings, I don't have to worry so
much about having to cut employees."
"I could get a coursepack copied anywhere, but I wouldn't get the turnkey,
incomparable products and services that XanEdu provides."

Integrate XanEdu CoursePacks in Blackboard
XanEdu CoursePacks and Blackboard are important educational tools for both
instructors and students. These convenient, time-saving services are designed to
help simplify your work load and make class content easily available to
students, all while providing time savings that will free up your hectic
schedule. XanEdu To Go brings CoursePacks and Blackboard together in one
seamless integration.
XanEdu To Go allows CoursePacks to be placed into one of the many approved
password-protected online environments. That means your CoursePack can be
"embedded" into any Blackboard course, and even courses hosted in open-source CM
systems—so you aren't forced to jump back and forth between different systems to
manage your courses.
Your students will benefit, too! Now they can access their CoursePack
articles and content without ever leaving the environment of their online
courses. It's easy and convenient for them, which means fewer questions and
complications for you.
"Blackboard is such an integral part of today's teaching and learning
process, it just made sense to combine it with XanEdu CoursePacks," said Mike
Flowers, XanEdu Vice President of Editorial Operations. "The unique convenience
of both products gives customers the tools they need to put together successful,
content-rich course materials while providing easy access for their students."
So stop jumping back and forth to manage your courses and get everything
you're looking for in one place with XanEdu To Go.

much more quickly and save money to boot!"
