“We’ve had a profound impact on reducing students’ costs by providing them with more affordable purchase options, including our unique educational marketplace,” said Akademos CEO John Squires. “In addition, our advanced faculty software and services dramatically improve the speed and accuracy of course material adoptions. Now, through our partnership with NobleStream, we’ve added a vital resource to course material discovery that informs faculty about new materials that can improve the classroom experience and significantly lower student costs.”
