As
Equitable Access
(EA) continues to gain traction in the market, many institutions are trying to determine if they should manage this course material program themselves or find a partner to help. First, let’s lay some groundwork to ensure we are understanding what EA is and why it is making an impact.
What is Equitable Acess?
EA programs allow students to access all course materials on the first day of class for one low fee embedded in the cost of tuition or fees, regardless of major, the format of materials, or financial aid status. Think of it as Inclusive Access at the student level, instead of at the course level. It operates very similarly but provides both print and digital materials.
Why Equitable Access?
Now that you have the baseline of information around what EA is and why you should do it, you are ready to weigh the options of self-managing your EA or partnering with a provider.
Getting the right buy-in to move forward with a new model like EA takes some effort, but the impact you can have on the success of your students is worth it! If you’re exploring managing your equitable access program yourself or looking for an awesome partner to help you make it happen, be sure to let our team at Slingshot weigh in!
