# Coming this September: an enhanced eTextbook experience through Kortext

We are delighted to share that starting in the Fall 2025 Term, students participating in the eTextbook initiative at Seneca Polytechnic can enjoy a better learning experience. Our Campus Store partner, Follett Higher Education, has selected Kortext as its new ebook platform.

### **What is Kortext?**

Trusted by over 7,000 campuses and 3 million students globally, Kortext can empower you with smarter study tools, built-in collaboration, industry-leading accessibility features and a robust library of open educational resources.

This short introductory video highlights the platform’s key features:

### **What it means for you**

You can benefit from having:

- Smarter study tools **** like shared annotations, interactive notetaking, as well as natural-sounding AI-powered text-to-speech
- Anytime, anywhere access to digital learning materials with native apps for iOS, Android, Windows and Mac, plus offline reading
- Robust security and privacy

### **Accessing your eTextbooks**

When you purchase digital course materials as part of the eTextbook initiative this Fall Term, you will receive an access code on the receipt, an order status email or a direct login at https://read.kortext.com.

Additionally, instead of using the Brytewave link like you did in the past, you can use the “Follett My Materials \(BookStore\)” tile that's accessible from within your Learn@Seneca \(Blackboard\) account.

![Follett My Materials (BookStore) tile icon in Learn@Seneca](https://students.senecapolytechnic.ca/attachment?file=9MY%2FeqTo2GF55hgwLOEKMQ%3D%3D)

It will provide you with:

- A list of all the courses you’re enrolled in
- What materials are required and info on how to purchase them
- Access to any digital materials you’ve purchased or that have been provided to you, including those through Brytewave \(as long as the licenses are still valid\)
