Trunity provides a platform for experts (in any field) to contribute trusted content in an organized, accessible way. Utilizing our unique publishing workflow system, over 1500 experts worldwide actively publish peer-reviewed content to Trunity's sites, which then becomes available to any user on the platform. Our 'crowd' consists of PhD's, professors, and respected public figures. Once reviewed and published, expert content becomes a resource for the public, educators, or students. It is then able to be Live Cross Published across sites, shared, used for lesson plans, and curated into a virtual textbook. User-centric cross-site dashboards allow experts to manage their content across multiple sites, and anywhere on the platform.
A professor teaching a Biology class is able to visit these trusted sites, pull information that is relevant to his class, create a virtual textbook from it, and offer it to his students for a far lower price than traditional printed textbooks. He can also search through previously curated virtual textbooks in the Biology category to find one that best fits his curriculum. A virtual textbook sale generates revenue for the professor or school that offers it, the curator that created it, and the authors that provided content for it; all while giving students a more cost-effective way to get information.
