Business Models for Multiple
Publishing Formats
As educational publishers around the world
confront increasing options for digital content and delivery, the concern most
commonly expressed is: Show me the money. Among so much talk of e-books, ipods,
and XML databases, it can be difficult to separate the strategies from the "sizzle."
This session will explore some proven ways to think about developing your digital
strategies from leading pioneers in multimedia publishing. Learn what and when
to invest in technology and how to reuse content to quickly create new revenue
opportunities. Moderator
