An Elegant Solution
For Complex Challenges.
From affordability and quality concerns to operational and financial strains, institutions of higher learning face unprecedented, complex challenges.
In searching for the best path forward, senior leaders at thousands of institutions are finding that providing digital course materials to all students is an elegant, high-impact solution.
Inclusive Access:
A Win-Win-Win
Through a delivery model known as “Inclusive Access,” RedShelf's college partners are able to provide every student with seamless, automatic access to their course materials—in a dynamic digital format and at prices that are below competitive market rates—right through the school’s LMS. The discounted cost is typically billed directly to students’ accounts or incorporated into tuition, always with an option to opt-out should a student wish to do so. Due to the unbeatable convenience and pricing, typically more than 90% of students choose to participate.
The Inclusive Access model creates a virtuous cycle of improved affordability and convenience for students, and greater financial sustainability for schools and publishers. It’s a win-win-win.
