Education
Students are famous for cramming. Now it’s education’s turn.
Students haven’t changed much over the years, but technology has. Take textbooks. The publishing industry is moving toward digital readers. Unless that content is secured, it will eventually get stolen. You think music piracy was a scandal? Wait until books start getting hacked on eReaders. The moment you digitize a textbook, students can take the raw digital file and spread it to their friends. No sale, no profit. The only way to get around this problem is to change the textbook every quarter—or secure your content with CRAM™.
The same is true for testing and other course materials. With CRAM, students can take online tests, work with digital labs, study media rich proprietary programs and can’t cheat, steal or share one byte of content without permission. In other words, CRAM makes eEducation finally and truly viable from an economic standpoint.
And speaking of money, here’s an idea: Rather than just selling education to the students in class, imagine sharing your top professors and courses with a global audience. Since you can securely store an entire class on a CRAM device—lectures, labs, tests, textbooks, the works—you can also ship it securely. Now the very finest and most detailed education programs can be easily packaged and shipped around the world. And because you can guarantee the integrity of the course, (a genuine Harvard course, a genuine Stanford course, etc.), students around the world will pay for it.
Access to knowledge spreads. Opportunities for students open. Universities get paid for their content. And cheaters finally get busted.
Entertainment. Anytime. Anywhere.
