Textbooks: Affordability + Access + Personalization = Student Success

Flat World Knowledge is passionate about helping college students gain the knowledge they need to achieve their educational goals.

Using technology to foster student and institutional success are central to our mission at Flat World Knowledge. Our innovative technology and expertly authored content offers institutions a new approach to solving some of the most critical issues facing higher education today: affordability, access, and increasing student success.

Flat World Knowledge has a platform that provides benefits for students, faculty, and college leaders. Students get lifetime access to course content in a suite of affordable formats. Faculty can use our platform’s editing capabilities to tailor the content to satisfy their curriculum, match their syllabus, and complement their teaching style. And lastly, faculty and college leaders get analytics that monitor and measure student progress.

At the system and statewide level, we are collaborating with leaders who are seeking new technologies that meet the needs of their diverse student bodies. Flat World Knowledge was among the first in the higher education textbook market to implement a licensing model at the institution and system-wide level. Through these licensing partnerships, institutions can provide students with access to our complete catalog, across multiple devices, for a low annual fee or at no charge.

To date, FWK textbooks are being used in more than 4,000 classrooms at 2,500 schools worldwide.
