The best of both worlds :
We recognize that society and education are moving toward digital, but we also know how much our readers seem to appreciate the tangible, comforting aspect of printed books. Each universe has its advantages and disadvantages that should be put into perspective. Our publishing experience dates back to 2001, during a profound technological evolution with the democratization of high-speed Internet via ADSL which also saw the birth of general public websites.
Our teams, always focused on digital technology, have continued for several years to improve their infrastructure and development interfaces around the book. The shift in publishing, undoubtedly the most significant, was that of digital publishing and the arrival of e-readers. This is why, since 2014, we have developed all our ranges to respond to these issues. Our range of textbooks provides a balanced experience by offering both interactive digital formats and high-quality paper books.
The digital books are enriched and supplemented with advanced features such as videos, interactive quizzes and internet links, thus offering a dynamic immersion in educational content, linked to our e-learning platform.
As for the paper versions, they provide an authentic tactile experience that appeals to many students, allowing them to fully immerse themselves and make the book their own in their learning. These titles are also highly appreciated, in particular for facilitating students' digital disconnection and their dependence on screens.
Our teams work in close collaboration with printers and designers, as well as teachers, to design and renovate our catalog, thus offering around fifty new products each year linked to each year's school program.
Digital and Paper
Digital Books:
Digital books provide a dynamic and interactive learning experience, enriched by advanced features linked to our e-learning platform, such as embedded videos, interactive quizzes and web links. Thanks to these features, students can explore educational content in a more immersive and engaging way and thus also prepare for the submission of their school work or assessment.
Our eBooks enable real-time content updating, meaning information can be updated instantly to reflect the latest corrections or adjustments to the text based on feedback and comments from all our readers, while e-learning platform offers new discovery workshops or developments in the educational field. This flexibility allows you to benefit from materials that will always be updated and enriched, to best adapt to reading and learning experiences.
This flexibility offers a significant advantage, in particular for the preparation of exams with constantly evolving subjects, but also for works linked to the school program to be presented for examination. The documentary base created by our teams can then serve as a basis for training and in-depth study.
The digital version also makes it possible to reduce the costs associated with updating the content, since this is included in the initial acquisition that we offer to schools, but also to readers through combined offers. Another major advantage concerns storage, which allows you to reduce the weight of school bags while having access to your library and interactive courses at any time!
Paper Books:
Paper books offer a unique tactile and visual experience that cannot be replicated by digital formats. The feeling of turning the pages, making notes in the margins, and handling the physical book contributes to immersion and knowledge retention. but also to a certain sensory connection.
Although paper books do not benefit from the interactive features of digital books, such as font adjustment or speech synthesis, they nevertheless offer access to the e-learning platform which complements its use, making possible the digital experience.
The availability of paper books helps ensure full access to information, even in environments where access to technology may be limited, without suffering from energy-related issues! A paper book doesn't need batteries to work!
Accessibility for all
Accessibility has been our constant commitment since 2008 and has committed our resources to the development of tools allowing everyone unrestricted access to culture. We are committed to making learning accessible to everyone. This is why we have included advanced accessibility features in our digital books (all ranges). Students with reading or visual disabilities will find options such as text-to-speech, changing font to enlarge, and adjustable contrasts to facilitate comprehension and engagement whether the reader is using an iOS or Android tablet.
Concerning our paper books, gradually from 2024, they will all include QR-Code which will connect them to educational activities, to get to the heart of the work, and support the student in appropriating the work.
In certain cases, we work with teachers to create an educational path in advance around books and titles to adapt to their classes. This sometimes leads to several versions of the same text being published, depending on age or region.
Innovative exchange program
To encourage exploration and discovery, we have created an exciting exchange program for schools. Our dedicated digital platform allows teachers and students to discover our works and their history in an interactive way. Teachers can create study groups, host online discussions, and even invite authors to virtual Q&A sessions.
This exchange program aims to stimulate students' curiosity, promote discussion and strengthen the relationship between education and literature. We also support and encourage teachers to publish their content on our platforms, to benefit as many people as possible.
