Being Web-based means that publishers, instructors and students can integrate a vast array of electronic media into a MetaText edition. MetaText's Web integration also facilitates communication and education through tools imbedded in each book. Through the MetaText platform, instructors can make announcements to an entire class or they can email individual students. In turn, students can email instructors from any page in their text, facilitating context sensitive instruction. Additional education-enhancing tools allow instructors to customize the text, adding relevance through annotations that are instantly visible to students.
Students can highlight text and make notes that enhance their understanding of the material.
To find specific words or ideas, students can launch a search tool from any page to search the text, its glossary and student and instructor notes.
