“Inclusive Access” is the course content solution that is driving down costs for students and giving them day-one access to the materials they need to persist.
How? All students are given access to digital course materials on day one of classes through their institution’s Learning Management System. They benefit from lower prices made possible by volume discounts that are available only when all students in a course have day-one access.
Faculty don’t need to choose between affordability and academic freedom. With VitalSource’s extensive catalog and strong publisher relationships—we work with over 1,000 publishers to deliver quality digital learning materials—virtually any content can be adopted for use in Inclusive Access.
Inclusive Access benefits all higher ed stakeholders. Students are more likely to succeed in their classes, and therefore are more likely to persist and graduate. Colleges and universities increase their retention rates and boost their reputations as institutions that care about their students’ success and financial well-being. Publishers see high sell-through and expand the reach of their high-quality publications.
VitalSource has the partnerships you need to start and scale Inclusive Access on your campus. Verba Connect is the best-in-class Inclusive Access management application for independent campus stores. The platform contains tools for every element of Inclusive Access management, from setting the right price, to communicating with students, and to managing opt-out and opt-in decisions. When it’s time to charge students, Verba Connect knows exactly which student accounts to bill and how much to charge.
