Description
Since 2008, federal regulations in the United States have required textbook information to be made available by instructors to students at the time of registrations. These rules were adopted in response to the rising cost of textbooks and other course materials.
Columbia University has enhanced the existing Sakai CLE Textbook tool developed at the University of Michigan with more features for students, instructors, and academic administrators, including: list entry using ISBN with search against external services, import from other courses, and upload from an Excel file; ability to mark entries as required or recommended and provide additional instructions from instructors; display of updated pricing information provided by commercial services; and, additional administrative tasks such as automated reminders, mass migrations, and compliance monitoring.
Our presentation will provide an overview of the enhanced tool, its origins and requirements, and results from the current pilot.
