SUMMARY:Course Material Affordability
DESCRIPTION:Textbook and course material costs remain a significant barrier 
 for students across higher education. This webinar brings together the UK 
 Libraries and the UK Bookstore to explore a range of solutions designed to 
 reduce financial burden of course materials while ensuring students have 
 the materials they need from day one.\n\nJoin us to learn about three 
 approaches:\n\nFirst Day Program (UK Bookstore) -- First Day™ is Barnes & 
 Noble College's inclusive access model\, where digital course materials are 
 included as an additional course charge for a particular course or 
 program.\n\nLibrary Resources - UK Libraries provides access to a wide 
 range of materials through course reserves and eBooks that can be 
 integrated directly into your course at no cost to students.\n\nOpen 
 Educational Resources (OER) -- Freely available\, openly licensed 
 textbooks\, modules\, and other course materials that can replace or 
 supplement costly commercial texts -- with no cost to students and full 
 flexibility for instructors to adapt content to their needs.\n\nWhether you 
 are teaching a high-enrollment introductory course or an upper-division 
 seminar\, this session will help you identify the right mix of affordable 
 course material strategies for your students. Representatives from both the 
 UK Bookstore and the UK Libraries will be on hand to answer questions and 
 discuss options specific to your discipline.\n\nWho should attend: 
 Faculty\, instructors\, department chairs\, and academic advisors 
 interested in reducing course material costs for students.
