President of the parent company of LiveCarta, Tributary Publishing, Richard Speakman, said, "We built LiveCarta to provide educators with new tools to create the perfect online course pack. Educators can tailor books for their students, including only chapters they intend to teach and adding in additional materials to extend the original author's work.
