Students and learners of all types need need modern tools and technology to succeed in today’s rapidly evolving educational landscape. Companies who create and manufacture educational materials, learning tools, and curriculum resources are purposely on the cutting edge of technology and education. These industry leaders constantly seek innovative ways to to engage students and immerse them in a world of learning.
One way to promote educational materials and celebrate all types of learning is to use a digital publishing platform. DCatalog has revolutionized the way that educational tools and content are presented and distributed. Imagine having thousands of educational products that are automatically linked in the catalog; or enabling customers to browse the digital educational catalog and add items to their cart; or efficiently generating a dynamic PDF training catalog in just a few clicks!
In this blog post, we’ll explore how educational companies use DCatalog’s innovative digital publishing platform to create engaging and immersive learning experiences, enhance shopping opportunities, and contribute to success with digital catalogs.
1. Transform and Innovate
The world of instructional products and services is quite a unique one. Oftentimes, companies create products that are brand new to the marketplace or surpass the quality of the items that are currently available. In this heightened environment of innovation and transformation, expectations of finding companies that match these goals are equally lofty.
That’s why Pasco, a company that manufactures science lab equipment and teacher resources, began using our intuitive solution that turns their educational catalog into a dynamic digital resource.
Pasco makes excellent use of DCatalog’s automatic linking tool. This advanced linking tool automates the linking process. Pasco team members do not have to manually link their entire edition, which saves them countless hours of time and labor. The auto linking tool runs quickly and grabs links in seconds.
Buyers browse the items, and click on the ones that interest them. Because the digital catalogs are connected to the online sales platform, buyers are taken to the web page where they can add the items to cart and check out. These intuitive digital flip catalogs provide convenient online access 24/7 with the look and feel of a traditional print catalog. They are searchable within and shareable via a link, or by social media.
2. Effective Learning Tools
Active, hands on learning is an important part of education. 65 percent of people learn best through visual learning. So it’s necessary to create effective learning tools that support this type of learning.
Didax’s vision is to offer the most effective, innovative resources for active math learning. They provide teachers with the tools they need to transform their classrooms for collaborative learning.
Didax uses DCatalog’s Shoppable Catalog Technology to make it easy for consumers to purchase learning materials. When shoppers browse the catalog, they click on items to add them to their shopping cart from a one-click shopping window overlay. DCatalog’s product catalog software solutions integrate the Didax Shoppable catalog with their existing eCommerce platform to streamline the shopping experience.
In addition to the Shoppable Catalog Technology, Didax uses several key navigation tools to make shopping and browsing even easier. They added an expandable table of contents, which enables users to see sections of the catalog. When the user clicks on the section, they are instantly taken there. They also make use of the customization options, such as adding their Didax logo and branding colors. Elements such as these promote brand consistency.
3. Offer a Convenient Experience
Customization is a huge part of using digital collateral in educational settings. And when you have a hefty catalog with many products, it can be quite overwhelming to take that content from a PDF to a digital catalog.
It’s a case like this that Geyer faced. Geyer creates instructional products that help unleash creativity in science education for grades K-12. As such, they have a wide range of products available.
Geyer made use of DCatalog’s PDF generator feature. Instead of spending hours manually creating their digital catalog, they were able to create a stunning PDF in just a few steps. The automated PDF generator takes the hassle and manual labor out of creating a PDF catalog. With just a push of a button, Geyer can generate an up to date catalog when products come in, or are removed.
Geyer is also able to link their instructional products directly to their website. Users click on items and are taken to the website to learn more about the products, add to cart, and check out.
