AASTMT to be the first university in Egypt to transition from analogue to digital learning

Arab Academy for Science, Technology & Maritime Transport (AASTMT) has signed a multiyear partnership agreement with global digital textbook and learning platform provider Kortext, to deliver world-leading learning opportunities to students, anytime, anywhere. AASTMT’s 25,000 students and researchers will benefit from easy access to the highest quality digital learning materials from all the major educational publishers including Cengage, McGraw Hill, Pearson, Taylor & Francis and Wiley.

The Kortext Platform provides a truly personal learning environment and experience for all learners whilst generating analytics to ensure every student can reach their maximum potential.

Her Majesty’s Ambassador to the Arab Republic of Egypt, Sir Geoffrey Adams KCMG, commented,
