Kivuto and Edukinect Increase Access to Education Technology in India

OTTAWA, April 21, 2016 -- Higher education organizations in India will have increased access to education technology through a strategic partnership between Kivuto Solutions and Edukinect.

Schools in India will be able to use Texidium by Kivuto, Canada's most comprehensive digital textbook eReader platform, through Edukinect to simplify the management of digital course materials. With Texidium, schools can improve student success by ensuring students have 100% of their course materials accessible 100% of the time from any device, online and offline. Edukinect will be working closely with Kivuto to provide schools in India with access to Texidium.

Benefits of Texidium include:

• Significant discounts on digital resources compared to physical.
• An enhanced learning environment where all students have the same up-to-date resources.
