This partnership makes learning more connected and seamless for universities, instructors, and students with the introduction of Area9 Rhapsode™ through VitalSource Launch. Launch, VitalSource’s leading Integrations capability, seamlessly connects learning management systems, courseware & content distribution, and authentication, offering easy access to e-books and course materials with a single click and SSO.

VitalSource powers content delivery across today’s Higher Education ecosystem, driving a Learning Advantage for every student. The value of Higher Education today is under scrutiny, shining a spotlight on the cost, inconvenience, and the uneven playing field when obtaining course materials. The shift from print to digital has opened the promise of affordability, equity, and a more engaging course materials experience, yet many Institutions and Content Providers still lack the right kind of modern delivery network to fully realize this promise. With unmatched global scale, unparalleled operational integrity, and insights, the VitalSource Learning Delivery Network helps Institutions and content providers close the Value Gap with meaningful digital-first programs that delight students and advance their success from Day One.  
 
Area9 Lyceum’s mission is to help deliver the world’s best educational outcomes, validated by a long-term, scientific approach. With over 20 years of experience in learning science, AI, and content development, Area9 has proven scalable success in enhancing learner engagement and reducing content curation costs.
