In addition to a new look and feel, users will have access to new tools and functionality to enhance the learning experience, including the following:
  • Notes Management: Ability to view all notes, highlights and annotations in a single location through the My Notes tab, turning annotations made in the margins into a streamlined study guide which can be printed or reviewed on a mobile device for a quick review before a test or exam
  • Highlighting: Capability to activate highlighting function with a single click and add notes to highlighted text
  • Bookmarking: Navigate to bookmark location with a single click and create bookmarks for specific pages
  • Search: Navigate between search results and book contents as well as view page content alongside the search results through the Search-In-Book function.
With the addition of the New CourseSmart Reader, CourseSmart now offers three reading experiences to ensure students have superior access to their digital course materials on any device they are using. The Classic CourseSmart Reader will continue to provide the reading experience that students and faculty have grown accustom to and the Accessible CourseSmart Reader remains the industry's most accessible platform, providing a reading experience specifically designed for use with screen readers.
