Highlighter is a platform for saving students money on textbooks and increasing student success.
We accomplish both of these things by allowing professors to publish any type of course material, including digital textbooks and supplemental course material, to our HTML5 reader and that allows students to access the content and interact with it, on any device. That means we can truly beg the question, "what is a textbook."
Then, we take all of the student data, for example, how they are interacting with the content, how many comments and highlights they've made, when was the last time they accessed the content, what questions they have, how many pages they read, etc., etc., and pass that info back to the professor in the form of powerful, dead simple to use, analytics.
