Offline Access

While Boundless is a digital product that leverages the Internet for much of its functionality, we understand that offline access is a priority for many students and institutions.

Learning Objective

  • Describe Boundless's offline product


Key Points

    • Boundless content is best experienced online, where Internet access enables the tracking of student data for grades and educator analytics as well as interactive content and multimedia.
    • However, we can provide an offline version of a textbook to a educator by request; they can distribute it to their students.
    • An offline version of a Boundless textbook can be in either ePub or PDF format. Note that these formats do not allow for viewing of videos or other interactives or the tracking of student progress and grades.

Digital Textbooks

At Boundless, we leverage the power of digital to provide our content with the teaching and learning features educators and students need. The student grades and analytics as well as our product's interactive nature and responsive design mean that Boundless is best viewed in-browser with Internet access.

However, we are aware that Internet access remains an issue for many students. While we wait for Internet availability to catch up to the demands of the twenty-first century, we're happy to make an offline version of our product available for students and educators who need it.

Offline Access

At this time, we offer offline versions of our textbooks to educators who are using Boundless to teach their class. They may then share the offline version with their students. We offer both ePub and PDF versions of any book on our site, including an educator's customized version.

Boundless as an ePub file

We can generate an ePub for any book on our site, including customized books.

It's important to note that once we take the material offline, we lose the ability to offer analytics (such as how much of the readings a student is doing or how they performed on a quiz) and update the content. However, of course, it's also important that students be able to access their materials even if they don't have Internet at home. We will help you navigate that tradeoff as best as we can!
