The University of Missouri System is partnering with Pearson on a digital delivery programme aimed at giving students easier, and cheaper access to course content. Launched the first day, the programme, called AutoAccess, connects students to digital course materials, including Pearson e-books as well as online homework, tutorial and assessment technologies. To date, more than 18,000 students have enrolled in the programme. Course material pricing is presented up-front, which is, according to Pearson; "often resulting in savings of 35% or more over the cost of a printed textbook for learners and eliminating the time-consuming task of having to research where to buy the least expensive course materials". The program also provides educators with data to highlight student performance and needs for early intervention.
