Is “Opt-In” the Future of Inclusive Access?
Thursday October 10, 2024 9:45am - 10:25am EDT
H1
"Inclusive Access" is a model that has been adopted by many institutions to provide students with course materials. Recent developments at the federal level have raised questions about the transparency and equity of these programs, along with the negative impact it can have on open education initiatives. This presentation will discuss the current state of Inclusive Access, including how regulatory changes proposed by the U.S. Department of Education may change the default model from "opt-out" to "opt-in." It will also discuss advocacy strategies to address the negative impact "Inclusive Access" can have for students. 

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Describe the features of "Inclusive Access" automatic textbook billing programs
  • Explain the state of U.S. federal regulatory changes with respect to automatic textbook billing
  • Identify key benefits of an "opt-in" model for textbook billing
  • Address misleading arguments made by publisher and bookstore vendors
