Making Course Materials More Affordable for Students
Thursday, June 29, 2023 , 9:00 am – 11:30 am CDT
The ever-increasing cost of textbooks is making it more challenging for college students to afford necessary class resources. While all students pursuing a college degree are affected by textbook costs, the impact is greater for some students than others. This workshop will examine the conditions that have led to the rising cost of materials and explore subject-specific resources that are available to instructors who want to make their course materials more affordable for students. At the end of the workshop, participants will develop an action plan to integrate affordable materials into their course(s).
This workshop is intended for those who interact professionally (e.g., course instructor, advisor, student affairs staff member) with ISU’s students on a regular basis as part of their role on campus. That said, any employee interested in this topic is invited to register. Registration is required.
Eligible participants will receive a $50 stipend for successfully completing this course.
