Reality Check
Professors Blast e-Textbook Company
By 2000 standards, Digital Learning Interactive (DLI) had all the ingredients of a can't miss dot-com: a CEO with Harvard credentials; $25 million in Venture capital; and a plan to make an offline business, in this case, college textbook publishing, more efficient by moving it online.
The Medford, Mass., company signed 400 schools for its iLrn service. Professors liked it because they could augment core texts with customized content such as slide shows and interactive maps. Students liked it because it could be accessed anywhere using a password and was up to 60 percent cheaper than buying texts at the college book store.
But as startup vets know, a good product or service doesn't guarantee business success. And apparently, DLI is gone, leaving professors and students in the lurch.
