Education is Evolving—Are Your Materials Ready?

In the fast-paced world of higher education, where new insights and developments happen every day, content needs to be flexible, adaptable, and—most importantly—under the control of its creators. Educators strive to provide tailored resources to students, while authors and publishers need to protect their work. Striking the perfect balance between flexibility for educators and control for content owners is essential for the future of education.

At LiveCarta, we’re passionate about advancing digital publishing to meet the needs of both sides. Our Dynamic Publisher Controls empower publishers, authors, and institutions to define how their content is used. At the same time, it ensures that educators have the flexibility to adapt and customize materials to meet student needs.

The Growing Demand for Customizable Learning

Digital transformation in education has reshaped how students learn and how educators teach. Gone are the days when one textbook met the needs of every student. Today, learning is more personalized, interactive, and adaptable. Instructors need the freedom to adjust their materials—mixing chapters, integrating additional resources, and curating content that speaks directly to their students’ needs.

But here’s the challenge: How do you offer customization while safeguarding the intellectual property of authors and publishers?

That’s where LiveCarta’s Dynamic Publisher Controls come in. This feature gives content creators the ability to set clear guidelines on how their materials can be used. It offers educators flexibility while ensuring that the content owner’s rights are fully protected. This balance satisfies both the modern educator and the rights-holder.

How Dynamic Publisher Controls Protect and Empower

LiveCarta’s Dynamic Publisher Controls feature provides authors and publishers with the ability to maintain ownership and control over their content while allowing educators to customize and adapt it where permitted. This is how LiveCarta ensures flexibility for instructors and protection for content owners:

  • Copyright Management and Protection: With Dynamic Publisher Controls, content owners can specify what actions users can take with their material. Publishers can allow customized versions, mix content, or restrict specific uses—retaining full control over their material. These permissions are clearly displayed on each title’s catalog page, so users know exactly how the material can be used.
  • Customized Learning Without Compromise: For educators, this feature opens up the opportunity to create customized versions of materials tailored to their courses. If the content owner permits, instructors can reorganize chapters, hide sections, or add their own resources to enhance the learning experience. Beyond individual adjustments, LiveCarta’s platform enables educators to integrate content into Collections, create Custom Copies, or bundle materials into Binders to suit their specific needs. This flexibility allows for a more tailored approach to teaching while ensuring that the rights of content owners are respected.
