4. OER + ebooks + Inclusive Access
We present faculty with multiple options for saving students money on course materials (emphasis is on faculty choice and academic freedom):
OER (offer perpetual access, often in multiple formats for greater accessibility, free online, unlimited printing, customizable by faculty)
Library-licensed ebooks & journal articles (access lasts until student leaves UA or library’s subscription ends, free online, printing limits vary by vendor)
Inclusive Access (length of access varies by limits negotiated with publisher, printing limits vary by title, cost for digital textbook is below market price)
