STPL Joins Somatic Digitals Preferred Vendor Program to Offer Tutoring Service to Educational Publishers



Somatic Digital announced that STPL has joined its Preferred Vendor Program to offer 24/7 on-demand math and science tutoring to publishers who adopt the TouchBook's8482; platform.

Publishers of math and science content can now deploy printed interactive books that launch tutoring services when students touch the regular printed page.

Through the partnership, Somatic Digital will promote STPL'ss human-based, 24/7, math and science tutoring service to publishers that adopt the TouchBook's8482; platform.

According to Jason E. Barkeloo, President of Somatic Digital, When publishers adopt the TouchBook's8482; platform, they will want to add new revenue generating value-added services like tutoring to the printed pages. In this way, a student studying math and science can touch the regular printed page and launch a communication application like email, instant message (IM), and voice over Internet protocol (VOIP) to reach an STPL tutor.

Navin Agarwal, CIO of STPL, states that STPL, through its Web VEdA product, is able to offer a world class tutoring service deploying well trained teachers delivering Math and Science lessons 'sanytime's and 'sanywhere's in the world. Now with the new partnership and access to Somatic Digital'ss TouchBooks's8482; embedded with the TUI technology, STPL will be able to provide tutoring services with a difference, enabling students with quicker and easier grasp of the subjects.

The TouchBook'ss's8482; embedded TUI technology may be ideal for providing a multi-modal learning environment to all readers. The TUI allows individual books to be customized to the particular needs of the reader. A properly designed TUI-based TouchBook's8482; should meet the requirements outlined in the National Instructional Materials Accessibility Standard (NIMAS) and the inclusive learning requirements of laws such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA), No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, and Sections 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.

Barkeloo concluded by saying that, STPL represents a tutoring service that we can offer to publishers adopting the TouchBook's8482; platform. For publishers that adopt this valuable service with their TouchBook's8482;, new and recurring revenue models become available for their regular printed books.
