Finding the Free Path: Making Zero-Textbook-Cost Courses Visible
Recorded on March 10, 2023
Moderators: Roen Janyk, Caja Blomley
Speakers: Brenda Smith, Elena Kuzmina, Amanda Grey
You have adapted your course to ensure materials are free for students, but how can students choose to save money if they aren’t aware of their
zero textbook cost (ZTC) course options? Learn from B.C. post-secondary institutions — including Thompson Rivers University, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, and Vancouver Community College — that have created ZTC offerings for students. The panel of speakers will describe how they made ZTC course information visible and discoverable at their institutions and how highlighting or marking ZTC courses allowed students to make informed decisions regarding the cost of their course materials. Together, we can help students find the free path.
