All Access at Auburn -- Getting Textbooks into Canvas

Last week, Auburn University Bookstore organized a gathering with faculty and a number of textbook representatives and digital content providers to discuss the options of getting text books and other digital content loaded into Canvas courses so that students have access to necessary content from Day 1.
The university bookstore has been working on this for a number of years, making it possible to

• give all students in a class access to content in Canvas
• customize content
• bill students through e-bill (with opt out and printed version options)
• decrease cost for students up to 30-50% for the texts

We already have quite a few adopters on campus, with UNIV courses having taken the lead a few years back, so feel free to contact Rusty Weldon in the bookstore for what your options are.  Other subject areas that have taken advantage of this model are in Accounting, Biology, Educational Methods, Geology, HDFS, History, Kinesiology, Nutrition, Psychology, and Physical Education.
