Impact Student Success with Affordable Digital Course Materials

Inclusive Access eliminates the need for students to purchase course materials on their own. Working with college bookstores, this program provides students with e-copies of the textbooks required by their instructors via platforms such as RedShelf and VitalSource. The cost of these textbooks is included in the students’ tuition pricing and digital course materials are available on day one of classes.

The Benefits of Inclusive Access

 

Choice

  • Instructors can select from a vast collection of titles that are available to adopt through Inclusive Access. We do not limit the titles available for Inclusive Access.
  • Most of our content is available to adopt as either print or eBook.
 

Affordability

  • Purchasing textbooks can be a significant financial challenge, especially for students in higher education.
  • Adopting your course materials through Inclusive Access means your students will be getting the best price for their textbooks, alleviating the financial burden of purchasing textbooks and other materials on their own.
  • Institutions can also negotiate bulk pricing with publishers, therefore significantly reducing costs compared to students buying individually.
 

Convenience

  • Through Inclusive Access, students are provided with digital copies of course materials that are ready to be used on the first day of class.
  • These course materials are integrated into your institution’s LMS and can easily be accessed through the student’s tablet, laptop, or phone.
  • Course materials are simple to set up and can be managed by the course instructor, allowing instructors to teach easily knowing students have all the course materials needed to succeed.
  • Institutions implement Inclusive Access either as opt-in (students actively choose to participate) or opt-out (students are automatically enrolled but can withdraw), with students required to finalize their decision regarding course materials typically before the end of the add/drop period, though exact deadlines vary by institution.
