The Day One Course Materials Initiative will utilize Open Educational Resources, an Inclusive Access Textbook model, and library eBooks and eJournals to create a comprehensive package of course materials on day one. These materials include, but are not limited to, textbooks & course texts, online homework systems, videos, workbooks, and images. When students have course materials on the first day of class, they are more likely to succeed in school and remain in school. This project has been paused and may resume in the future. The Reduced Cost Course Materials Initiative will continue. See below!
