eText is a Pearson platform where we host the eBooks for our International Baccalaureate resources. An eBook is an electronic version of the printed textbook, allowing teachers and learners to access the content on their mac, PC, iPad or Android tablet.
Our eBooks are hosted on our own platform as it gives us the flexibility to make changes to our books quickly and respond swiftly to customer feedback. Functionality of eText includes highlighting, search, bookmarking and notes, plus access to additional resources.
You have 4 years’ prepaid access to the online eText with each printed textbook purchase, with the eText typically going live a few weeks after the print book publishes. Your access begins from the day you activate your eText.
Where do I find my access code?
Where a printed book includes the eText, there is a scratch-off panel inside the front cover with an access code. Use a coin to scratch off the coating and reveal your unique access code.
If you have purchased a standalone eText, it will be delivered to you on a printed access card. Follow the instructions on the card to activate.
Activating your eText
To access your eText for the first time, you will need to register online using a computer with an internet connection and you will also need a valid email address. The process takes a couple of minutes and only needs to be completed once:
Setting up accounts for your students
As your eText lasts for 4 years, you want the ability to allocate it to multiple cohorts. Set up each eText account using a unique email address and password that you can control and issue to the next cohort. Make sure you remember/record the log in details for each eText, and make sure this information is passed onto another member of staff if you move on.
Download your step-by-step setup guide for more information.
Changing cohorts
Your new cohort will need the eText usernames and passwords from your last cohort. This is why it is important that you control and make note of the unique usernames and passwords for each of your activated eText licences. Change the passwords before handing over to your new cohort for a fresh start.
