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.

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.
