Unizin Purchased Courseload eText Delivery Platform Engage Rebranding 11/4/15 All Student Access

Unizin CourseLoad/Engage Integrates with Canvas Content delivered to students in course sections PDF or EPUB formats Faculty can annotate the eText Faculty have visibility into What students read (page by page) What students annotate What students highlight Faculty-student interactivity (Q&A) We capture data about student usage, interactivity, etc. for Learning Analytics 11/4/15 All Student Access

Visible by Instructor: External Databases Workbooks (e.g. ALEKS + 17 others) Instructor Engage Canvas eTexts CSU/Unizin LA Database Students: Single Sign-on Integration if “All In”: - Publsiher eTexts (~90 publishers) - Free eTexts (OpenSTAX) - Free content (e.g. Lumen Learning) Visible by Instructor: - Reading - Highlighting - Annotating - Interactivity 11/4/15 All Student Access

Desirable To Adopt a Single Platform for eText Delivery For ease of use by both faculty & students To capture the data in one place for sophisticated Learning Analytics Not many disparate places in the “cloud” Try to push everything through Engage 11/4/15 All Student Access

Visible by Instructor: External Database Workbook (e.g. ALEKS) Instructor Engage Canvas eTexts CSU/Unizin LA Database Students Integration if “All In”: - Publsiher eTexts (~90 publishers) - Free eTexts (OpenSTAX) - Free content (e.g. Lumen Learning) Visible by Instructor: - Reading - Highlighting - Annotating - Interactivity 11/4/15 All Student Access

ASA – “All Student Access” The “Wholesale” Course Fee Model Faculty opt in Unizin negotiates contracts as “opt in” (~90 publishers) Or free content Integrated with Canvas/Engage: single sign-on Lowest price at highest, guaranteed volume The entire class is subscribed via a course fee Access and fee are finalized at census All students have access, on day 1 To content To interactivity with instructor Persistent access (graduation + 90 days) Inexpensive “opt in” for purchasing a print copy 11/4/15 All Student Access

From David Ernst, Univ. Minn. 59% of students reported that they have had to wait for their financial aid check to purchase textbooks. 7/10 students surveyed hadn’t bought a required textbook due to cost. 11/4/15 All Student Access

“Retail” Model: No Guarantees Fpr The content The interactivity The Learning Analytics data The “single” platform An affordable print copy Students who do not opt in may be at a disadvantage educationally 11/4/15 All Student Access

Number of IU Course Sections Adopting eTexts 11/4/15 All Student Access

Number of IU Students Using eTexts 11/4/15 All Student Access

Research on eTexts Adoption of e-textbooks in higher education (DeNoyelles , Raible, & Seilhamer, 2015; Nicholas & Lewis, 2009; Parsons, 2014) Learning effects of e-textbooks Self-reported learning gains (Giacomini et al., 2013; Ji et al., 2014; Rockinson-Szapkiw et al., 2013) Test score (Daniel & Woody, 2013; Siebenbruner, 2011) Course grade (Shepperd et al., 2008; Terpend et al., 2014) Federal bipartisan legislation introduced Unlikely to pass in this 114th Congress 11/4/15 All Student Access

https://uits.iu.edu/etexts/benefits "Through the IU eText program, participating faculty have enabled IU students to access their required eTexts before the first day of class—with a cumulative savings of more than $9.8 million off of retail prices since summer 2011. Brad Wheeler, IU vice president for IT and CIO, discussed the university’s strategy to address these costs in The Chronicle of Higher Education’s ’Fixing the high price of textbooks.’ ” 11/4/15 All Student Access

CSU Provisions for Data Usage “De minimus” access – employees must access only the amount of information required to do their job Sensitive (private & restricted) student data are highly secured Ethical use is paramount, and privacy is strictly enforced CSU is strongly “data informed,” and uses student data internally to improve learning 11/4/15 All Student Access

Faculty Visibility Into Student Data “Confidential” vs. “Anonymous” No visibility Aggregate visibility Full Visibility What responsibility do faculty have for your success? What “rights” do faculty have to ensure your success? This creeps me out, And I do not at all support Such access. If you have such data, And can use it to improve Learning, lower the cost of my Education, and shorten my Time to graduation, by all Means use it, but carefully And respectfully. 11/4/15 All Student Access

Open (“Free?”) eTexts & Content Engage fee (currently) $5/student-course section Free eTextbooks from OpenSTAX Open source content from Lumen Learning for $5/student-course section Subject matter experts (faculty) bundle the content Research indicates pedagogical benefits Reuse, refactor, remix 11/4/15 All Student Access

openstax college: “Free” eTexts 11/4/15 All Student Access

Proposal To introduce the structure of ASA course fees for delivery of eTexts in “wholesale” mode Does not fit within the current “course fee” model that is course specific Ask for Board approval to institute “wholesale” ASA course fees in “opt in” mode when and where faculty choose to do so? Work with CSU Bookstore to assess their participation 11/4/15 All Student Access

Discussion? 11/4/15 All Student Access
