The last decade in course materials has been anything but dull, from aggressive online competition to the rise of rental, and now digital. This hasn’t been easy on you. Constant change has meant constantly learning new systems, re-training teams, and developing new best practices.
Most of our clients are now straddling the “messy middle,” operating both print-centric retail and digital-centric Inclusive Access programs. But the “messy middle” isn’t forever, and a few intrepid stores have blazed the trail beyond it. Their answer is Equitable Access (EA).
We like EA because it makes things easier for everyone. Students get all materials by the first day of class, and instructors teach to their chosen content from the start. Campus stores manage one model instead of two, and administrators get a larger revenue stream.
But today, only a handful of indie stores run EA programs. Pricing the program, securing campus buy-in, sourcing print and digital to full enrollment, and delivering that content at scale are just some of the challenges many indie stores have lacked the tools to manage.
We’re introducing VerbaOne to put Equitable Access in reach for every indie store.
Indie stores can now move beyond the “messy middle,” and we’re here to help.
