Texas A&M University-San Antonio implements course-fee model for learning materials and saves students money

CHALLENGE:
Leaders at Texas A&M University-San Antonio (TAMU-SA) are well aware of an alarming problem in higher ed—due to the high cost of traditional textbooks, many students neglect to buy their books before the start of classes, and sometimes, not at all. For their institution, that was not acceptable.

SOLUTION:
A comprehensive learning content delivery platform would allow all of the institution’s students to receive their course materials digitally before the first day of classes.

VitalSource® works with TAMU-SA to deliver affordable digital content directly to the students through their LMS.

BENEFIT:
Through this model, for the Fall 2015-Spring 2016 school year, TAMU-SA’s College of Business students saved an average of $1,374 on their course materials.
