Project Description
When Pearson, the world’s largest publisher, needed to redesign their textbook curriculum to meet new national standards, they did more than just write new content. They reinvented the textbook itself. Pearson hired a team of product designers, developers and master teachers to create a new tablet-based teaching tool for grades K–12. Our interface needed to accommodate all age groups and vastly different kinds of content. The resulting product is simple, modular, and effective.
