Bookstream will change the way you deliver books and the way your students read.
As your eBook library grows, you need an easy way to manage and share those book files. This is where Bookstream comes in.
Just upload eBooks to the Bookstream cloud and share them. Students get instant access on any device with web access like an iPad, smartphone, or computer.
It’s so simple, you can get up and running in 30 minutes. What will your library look like five years from now? Find out with Bookstream!
Managing your accessible library was easy when there were just a few titles to deliver to a few students. But as your library and caseload grows, managing these books becomes increasingly difficult...
- Some of your books are licensed only to certain students.
- Some of your books are HUGE—over 2GB each.
- Some of your students are copyright exempt and others aren’t.
- The 100 iPads your district just bought are difficult to use with your eBook Library.
Managing these issues takes a lot of time. But this is a new school year, and this year there’s Bookstream. In just 30 minutes, you can upload your eBook files to Bookstream, add your students, and share books with them. You don’t have to wait on your IT department because there’s nothing to install. With Bookstream your students will have access to their books from anywhere—the school computers, iPads, and even at home!
Reading printed textbooks can feel hopeless for your students with learning challenges and print disabilities. To be successful, they typically need the text to be read aloud and plenty of opportunities to read. Bookstream gives your students anywhere access to their textbooks on their iPads, smartphones, and laptops. And since Bookstream is fully accessible, your students can use their text-to-speech software to read the text aloud.
Your students with physical disabilities and visual impairments have a difficult time turning book pages and reading the small printed text on the pages. With Bookstream, they will have access to all of their books on their laptops and can use Bookstream with their assistive technology tools like Jaws and Read:OutLoud.
Accessibility - Bookstream is fully 508 compliant, so students can use any assistive technology that works with a web browser (like Jaws, Zoomtext, and Read:OutLoud).
Deliver in a timely manner - Assign a book to a student or a group of students and they have immediate access.
Move books between school and home - Students can access books from anywhere, whether at home, school, or while out of town.
Manage very large files - Some eText books can be very large, even exceeding a Gigabyte. Bookstream includes a converter that compresses DAISY/NIMAS files by 60-90%. You can upload book files up to 2GB (2,000 MB).
Check books in and out - Just give students access through Bookstream, then unassign at the end of the year.
Protect copyright - Once uploaded to Bookstream, book files cannot be downloaded, so you can be confident that only the students intended will have access.
Access on any device - Bookstream is device agnostic, It works with any device with a web browser!
