OverDrive Launches Webinars on Literacy Instruction and Publishes Results From Its Higher Education Survey
OverDrive announced that Sora joined forces with the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) to launch Text and Tech: Reading Together, “a new professional learning webinar series designed to help educators navigate the evolving landscape of literacy instruction.” This virtual book club, focused on NCTE’s title Text and Tech: Reading All Ways in K–8, will have five parts running February through June 2026. Registration is required. OverDrive also shared the results of the 2025 Higher Education Survey from Libby and Kanopy. “The findings reveal a significant shift in student expectations, with nearly three-quarters of undergraduates identifying as visual or kinesthetic learners and 90% demanding course materials that reflect a diverse range of voices and experiences,” OverDrive states. “While 87% of students agree that films and documentaries are critical for mastering course content, only 44% report that their institutions provide adequate digital tools for accessing movies, documentaries, or foreign films.”
