“First Day Complete: Updates and what you should know ” by Melody Rood, Tuesday March 19th at 11am
In 2022, UNCG rolled out the First Day Complete (FDC) program, which is an “inclusive access” model that automatically enrolls all undergraduate students into a textbook rental program at flat rate based on credit hours. Although the program was advertised as a way to save students money, faculty members and students continue to be confused about how the program operates. This session will discuss how FDC works (as well as other programs like it), and how it can actually cost your students more money if they don’t understand the fine print. This webinar will also discuss the current updates on inclusive access models as well as concerns from librarians and open education advocates who are currently proposing regulations to the U.S. Department of Education in order to provide the most transparency for students.
