Association of Educational Publishers
Alloy Multimedia is a member of the
Association of Educational Publishers (AEP).
History of AEP
The Educational Press Association of America was founded in 1895 by a small group
of editors to exchange information and to promote open expression of educational
opinion. For more than 100 years, it existed as a university-supported organization,
most recently on the campus of Rowan University in Glassboro, N.J. As technology
grew, publishing expanded from print to multimedia. So in 1995, the board decided
that the Association should be expanded to reflect the changing publishing industry.
Today, the organization, renamed The Association of Educational Publishers, is supported
by nearly 400 print and digital publishers of all sizes and in all media. Now self-sustaining
and in headquarters of its own, the Association has expanded its programs to provide
information, training, and outreach necessary to the development of quality educational
materials. AEP facilitates communication among key interest groups such as educators,
policy makers, educational foundations and associations, business and the education
media. AEP continues to increase public awareness of the role of supplemental learning
resources in successful teaching and learning.
