Members and students of the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) looking for quick, convenient access and the added benefits of up-to-date technology will now be able to study for their qualifications on their portable electronic devices as the CII launches study texts in ebook format.
These brand new CII ebook study texts are compatible with the majority of portable electronic devices including Android Windows tablets/smart phones, Kindle and iPad/iPhone. Ebooks can also be viewed on desktop and laptop computers.
Ebook study texts give learners access to all the benefits of the printed CII study text, including the same enrolment period, updates and access to RevisionMate (the CII’s online study tool) where available, whilst reducing paper use. There are also a number of useful features such as annotation tools, easy navigation, quick web link access, in-built dictionary and read-aloud – the latter available on the majority of devices allowing the student to listen and learn at the same time.
Niall Boyd, head of product marketing at the CII, said: “The launch of the CII’s ebook study texts is a major step forward for the professional body in terms of members’ access to study material and represents the growing popularity of digital content over printed material. It also reflects how consumers’ preferred method of study has evolved over recent years as tablets and smart phones have taken off in a big way.
“We took members’ lifestyles and study habits into consideration whilst developing this format – for example an ebook study text is especially handy for someone commuting or travelling, and needing fast access to course information. We hope that those studying for CII qualifications will get a lot of value out of these new ebooks.”
Other benefits to the new ebook format include that there is no postage fee as they are delivered electronically through RevisionMate and fast delivery (same day delivery if purchased before 16.00 GMT Mon-Fri).
