The Campus Store invites University of Utah faculty and administration to learn more about recent technological advancements in the course materials industry. On Aug. 18 and 19, the Campus Store will host a Zoom webinar where faculty will have the opportunity to experience the VitalSource e-reader platform, Bookshelf, and see how easy this new technology makes it for students to access their course materials. Additionally, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the Inclusive Access program and how to interpret its analytics for better student success. Both topics will help faculty achieve the university-wide goal of fostering student success.

The webinar will begin by introducing Bookshelf, a platform designed to provide advanced studying tools for students. Bookshelf also gives behind-the-scenes access to analytics for faculty to understand how to help students achieve their goals. Bookshelf is a powerful new academic tool that can benefit students and professors alike. Sign up for the seminar to learn more about this new leading platform for distributing, accessing, consuming, and engaging with digital course materials.

The last 30 minutes of the webinar will be dedicated to helping faculty understand more about Inclusive Access, its benefits, and accessing its analytics. For those not familiar with the program, this will be a great opportunity to learn more and see if it’s the right fit for your courses. For those already utilizing the program, this is a chance to dive deeper into the analytics and how to enhance student outcomes within your classrooms.

The webinar will be held for 60-90 minutes via Zoom on Wednesday, Aug. 18 at 9 a.m. and Thursday, Aug. 19 at 1 p.m. Here is the link needed to attend the session. For more information or to receive a calendar invite please contact Heidi Booth at hbooth@campusstore.utah.edu.
