JitterBook Selects Photon Infotech for Implementation of Free Online Textbook Study Community

"Where Textbooks and Community Meet"

JitterBook, an online service giving students the best value when buying and selling their textbooks, is announcing a new innovative study tool -- JitterBook Online Study Community. Students can now share what they are learning at the textbook level for free.

"When we started our online buyback site we saw that the same textbooks are being used across the country. It was easy to figure out that if a student had a question on the course they were taking, they were probably not alone. It made sense to give students the ability to help each other by creating an online study group," stated Eric Henze, CEO, JitterBook.

Students can create discussions, groups and get answers to their questions for all textbooks. The site is free to join and use. "Social communities should be free," said Eric.

JitterBook chose Photon Infotech to implement the JitterBook Community because of their expertise in Drupal and Web 2.0 implementations. "It was absolutely a fulfilling project to work on the JitterBook Community simply because of its goal of helping students get better grades by helping each other," stated Srinivas Balasubramanian, CEO, Photon Infotech.

Eric stated, "I have worked on dozens of offshore implementations and Photon Infotech is truly the best. They really have a world class offshore development model and bring tremendous amount of expertise to what we are trying to achieve." The community can be found at www.JitterBook.com/Community
