Espresso and Oxford University Press
Espresso Education and Oxford University Press announced on the 9th January 2008 a partnership to develop and deliver "blended resources". We plan to combine our expertise in the digital and print educational fields to blend the best imaginative, multimedia content with the best structured primary schemes, as used in thousands of classrooms around the country. The first set of resources will be based around non-fiction texts from Oxford Reading Tree Fireflies series, with an initial prototype available for demonstration at BETT 2008.
OUP and Espresso will offer teachers:
- Electronic cross-referencing to the curriculum to support planning and assessment
- A resource that will allow work to be extended beyond the classroom and be shared at home
- A range of media that helps engage the interest of children and create excitement and rich opportunities for learning
- The chance to motivate children by providing a wide audience for their ideas and writing
Schools that currently subscribe to Espresso will receive the digital elements of the blended resources as part of their basic subscription.
