Our mission is simple: create customizable course materials for educators and offer those resources to students.
Great River Learning (GRL) began in 2005 with the goal of bringing college textbooks to the digital age. We focus on developing engaging publications by integrating videos, animations, and interactive exercises into the digital course material. We know most students don't read traditional 900-page textbooks - unless they're cramming for a test. Our next-generation digital textbooks are well designed, interactive, and media-rich to engage students where they are - online. Our employees are driven and passionate about excelling, learning, having fun, and making the world a better place by helping to improve the experience of both college-level students and professors.

Project Development Coordinators (PDCs) focus their attention on broader development oversight and ensuring projects launch on time. This includes monitoring submissions of content, offering advice to the author(s) as appropriate, and facilitating any necessary (mid-stream) adjustments to the project’s short-term scope.
Project Editors (PEs) focus on the development of new projects. They work with our entire editorial team to facilitate copyediting, permission clearance, and the development of interactive exercises. Once enough content has been submitted, Project Editors present a chapter prototype to ensure we are all on the same page with organization and aesthetics.
Web Designers shape the overall design of the publication- enhancing each project’s aesthetics while maximizing usability. They also work to weave various multimedia objects (images, videos, animations, and interactive exercises) into the fabric of the narrative. Web Designers run internal accessibility audits to ensure all GRL publications meet the stringent accessibility standards as outlined in the WCAG.
Permissions Editors facilitate permission clearance of any copyrighted material for each project, as well as negotiate any applicable usage fees.
Copy editing services guarantee professional-level delivery and management of original content.
I so appreciate the level of support you and your team continue to provide. Just the other day, I was singing the praises of Great River Learning to a colleague. You and your company far exceed any other publisher I’ve worked with in terms of customer service and student support. "
