Importance: High

Good Afternoon BFET Team!

I hope this email finds you all well!

Please join us in an open exploration of equity-minded textbook access opportunities to support students during online-only instruction.

Colleges and staff have raised awareness of the disproportionate impacts of textbook access during online-only instruction. We would like to create a system-level dialogue about challenges that students face in accessing textbooks, such as:

  *   Online textbook purchases for students without a credit card or bank account
  *   Financial impact of additional shipping costs
  *   Inability to purchase textbooks until financial aid disburses
  *   Inability to utilize third party vouchers (i.e. from DSHS) to purchase online

PHASE 1: Identify Scope of Equity Issues in Textbook Access

  *   This Friday, April 17th from 11:00-12:00 (calendar invite below)
  *   Share your knowledge of the challenges that students experience in textbook access
  *   Boyoung Chae from SBCTC’s Educational Technology & Open Education department will share information on free and open textbook resources

PHASE 2: Create Solutions to Eliminate Equity Issues in Textbook Access

  *   To be scheduled via WebEx
  *   Collaboratively brainstorm solutions
  *   Raise awareness of emerging practices
