Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Welcome all. Thanks to Nadine for a great presentation on the student data.
  2. The total Higher Ed Textbook market remains strong, despite some fall-off from 2012.
  3. Amazing consistency over the last 3 academic years. The top 5 represent about 80% of value! Pearson maintains a strong lead, with about one-third of all sales of course materials.
  4. Amazing consistency among the top disciplines!
  5. Here we highlight the disciplines where we have seen the most growth….and the most decline since AY2012.
  6. And here are the top courses in terms of dollar sales of course materials…English comp is really on top if you count both parts of the course.
  7. For the next few slides, we wanted to show how students are getting their course materials overall. This data comes from our monthly book tracker and shows that students continue to go to Amazon for their textbooks.
  8. And similarly, we are seeing the continued growth of online purchase at the expense of in-store
  9. As we have seen we will see, the vast majority of college students are still getting textbooks in print, and digital only textbooks are still in single digits. As we saw in the BISG student data, and as will see in subsequent slides, there is more to the market than the college textbook…that in fact the learning resources that students are acquiring are in fact more like learning systems, with the textbook as only one component.
  10. These are courses where students either hang on to their books (for reference in future courses, and reduce supply) and/or where students are buying the newest bundle or custom package.
  11. These represent those courses where students don’t keep their books as often, and where they can most likely get buy without it.
  12. So why do we think new units and dollars are remaining so high, and actually growing? We believe it is the result of growing custom and bundled packages. Publishers appear to becoming effective at moving students away from single print textbooks to course “systems” that are targeted to the needs of individual schools. These are often intergrated “solutions”, containing print and digital assets, learning and assessment and other resources. Not just a print textbook!
  13. Show pricing strategy of two titles by one Publisher. Pearson took an aggressive custom publishing strategy with Tro and generated over $3 million in sales
  14. We did a special analysis for a client to understand textbook sell through. So we looked at total units in intro courses and found that only a minority of students were acquiring the new textbook (and many weren’t getting anything at all)
  15. But when we looked at a course where that publisher had a “custom” strategy, we see that it did indeed drive higher levels of “sell through”, especially of new books! Presumably, students were more compelled to get the course materials that were customized to the class.
  16. Perhaps one of the reasons that digital has not taken off is that the price benefit is not all that different from what can be bought in print (especially used)
  17. From our data, only one course actually has double digit ebook percentages.
