About Captus

Captus Press Inc. is one of Canada's leading publishers of textbooks for post-secondary education, scholarly works, professional books and online course resources. Captus Press was founded in the early 1980s to produce high-quality textbooks for universities and colleges and now has over 150 titles in print. At Captus Press, every publication reflects quality and innovation.

Captus Press selects publications for their contribution to the instructional or scholarly literature in their fields and their fit with our innovative publishing mission. Captus titles cover a range of subject areas, including business, finance, accounting, law, Aboriginal and social issues for post-secondary instruction as well as professionals. There are also selected non-fiction titles for the general reader.

Our in-house production team designs and typesets with a state-of-the-art page-imaging system that allows traditional print runs as well as print-on-demand for customized editions. Marketing in North America is accomplished through direct contacts, insert and journal advertising, direct mail, and web advertising. International promotions and distribution are often brokered through co-publications or distribution agreements with international publishers.

Sales fulfillment from our own warehouse facilities ensures prompt order servicing.

Online Learning

Over the years, Captus Press has expanded its traditional textbook publishing program into online course development. In 1997, Captus developed and hosted an Internet-based course for York University. This was the first university Internet course with a full complement of multimedia lectures developed in North America.

Captus Press has since designed and created more than 100 educational websites for professional and post-secondary participants.

Publishing online learning materials means developing web content, hosting it on a custom-designed website, providing technical support, and fulfilling administrative functions such as processing participant registrations and course payments through a secure e-commerce website, as well as measuring performance through quizzes and examinations.

To facilitate the development of Internet learning content, Captus developed a unique online course template and learning platform into which learning programs can be placed. This course design has evolved through user feedback and continuous improvements to optimize learning outcomes and participant satisfaction.

Key to Captus' success has been a conservative approach to user hardware, software and bandwidth requirements, and a policy of technical support for all course participants. An in-house multimedia web server and e-commerce site enables Captus to manage all aspects of its business without relying on commercial Internet service providers or other external suppliers for critical functions.
