Chuckwalla seamlessly integrates the digital asset workflow—through the initial collaborative design stages, page layout, production, distribution in print, over the web and on wireless devices. By utilizing Chuckwalla’s centralized DAM system publishers can control the rights and usage of the content they produce and license while realizing additional revenue opportunities by repurposing their content in new ways.

As essential as textbooks to the physical classroom experience, e-learning is only as effective as the rich media that supports the online coursework.
