Questions

Is this connected to the IB?

No. Photon Resources is an independent publisher of IB study material, run by Photon Academy in Singapore.

How do I read the e-books?

In your browser on a phone, tablet or laptop, with two years of access. Every book has a complete free chapter to try first.

Will there be printed books?

Yes. Print editions are being prepared and will be sold through Amazon.

Will the Draft Coach write my IA?

No. When it launches it will comment on your draft criterion by criterion and ask questions. It never gives you text to paste.
