New Interactive eBook Redefines Studying with Innovative Tools and Usability

Online, June 3, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Cambridge, MA - June 1, 2010 - XAMonline.com, a leading publisher of teacher certification study guides, today launched the IntelliGuide™, a new cutting-edge technology product that will redefine how students and professionals use eBooks and prepare for their exams. IntelliGuide™ is an online platform that transforms the traditional eBook experience from simply reading a static PDF to interacting with an enhanced study guide and test practice session using innovative tools such as printable eStickynotes, highlighter capability, pre-made or user-generated eFlashcards, and timed, scored, and hyperlinked practice tests.

Dedicated to providing teachers with the resources they need to succeed, XAMonline developed the IntelliGuide to move beyond the traditional PDF experience and help teachers attain certification the first time using superior study tools.

"We founded this company on the premise of bringing innovation to the way people study for certification exams," said XAMonline President and Founder Sharon Wynne. "Creating IntelliGuide™, an interactive version of our study guide is a natural next step in our product evolution. By making our study tools interactive and portable, we are giving our customers multiple opportunities to expand learning: study during a commute, during lunch hours, or in between other life commitments."

Additional product features include a personalized study plan with check boxes to track progress and identify content areas for improvement; multiple, timed practice tests with the option to pause and hyperlink back to relevant content; easy navigation of previously viewed content using the "History" sidebar; and a search feature that enables users to quickly find the content they need within the guide. The eFlashcards allow users to study pre-made cards or create their own. The "Hide" function enables them to skip cards they already know, creating a customized study experience.

The New York IntelliGuide™ product is free with purchase of the NYSTCE Multi-Subject 002 print edition ($39.95), and features a full color copy of the study guide, all the interactive tools, and three practice tests. The print version is available at XAMonline.com, Barnes & Noble, Borders and other leading retailers, with the IntelliGuide™ technology product accessed exclusively through XAMonline.com.

Additional IntelliGuide™ products will be available in mid-June for select titles within XAMonline's PRAXIS series. For additional information on the IntelliGuide™ please visit www.XAMonlineIntelliGuide.com.
