Sciterra is a long overdue online marketplace designed to streamline the gathering and sharing of learning content. Academics, teachers, indeed anyone who writes and publishes now has an opportunity to promote their textbooks on Sciterra. Sciterra is an easy to use academic content marketplace for content marketing and distribution. It also provides all the tools needed for content creators to create, customize, publish, promote, sell, share and distribute to professors and students.
Sciterra a welcome disrupter in the publishing landscape where the average publishing process of 2-3 years is way too slow to provide current and relevant content in this quickly shifting environment where our knowledge half life becomes ever shorter. Many students, find traditional textbooks to be an expensive and nearly useless fact of life in college. Ineffective learning ensues, with whole chapters skipped because the content is not engaging or features dated content. In addition, the market is controlled by five large publishers and their printers. Sciterra technology reinvents publishing for the mobile, digital era by building engaging, interactive learning content combined with superior digital publishing and distribution solutions.
