There are a variety of benefits to textbook provision for students, teachers, and institutions. Textbooks are vital to student learning at college, which is why we think it’s so important that textbook provision is inclusive, affordable and accessible.
Inclusivity means that all students begin their course on the same level, with equal access to the textbooks they require. This means there’s no extra financial pressure on students to pay for their texts and they are accessible from anywhere, whether that’s the classroom or their bedroom.
There are a variety of options available to you too, as the majority of our books can be made available as either print or eBook. You can access textbooks at the same time as your students, making any notes needed.
These core benefits are helpful not only for you, but for your students and your institution.
Ensures all students get a book, no matter whether they can afford them or not
It varies by module, but textbooks can (be) very expensive; a low income can hamper a student’s ability to purchase books and therefore be on a level playing field with other students.
