For a great overview of what content materials and tools are available to college instructors and students at this point in the digital transition see this overview from MBS. It’s quite comprehensive and touches all the bases – custom books, ebooks, coursepacks, captive publisher platforms and curated OER solutions such as Junction (shameless plug!). Although the world is continuously evolving it’s good to see bookstores reasserting their role as guides in facilitating the selection, stocking and purchasing of course materials.
The closer we can push together to get 100% of enrolled students access to their course materials before the first day of class the better prepared they will be to productively engage in the learning process.
