To find out
what lies ahead for the creation and distribution of learning content, NACS
commissioned an extensive research and analysis project which involved
interviews with dozens of people involved in higher education instruction and
administration, academic publishing, content distribution and sales, and
libraries and educational technology.
The
findings from that project and their implications for higher ed will be examined
in a free webinar, Exploring the Future Course Content Ecosystem on Campus, on
Tuesday, Dec. 1, at 1 p.m. Eastern. The project and webinar were underwritten
by the NACS Foundation.
The webinar
will touch on changes in teaching and learning—as well as student access and
affordability issues—that are driving the development of new kinds of course
materials and in-class instructional materials. These include digital versions
of textbooks, courseware that combines reading material and teaching modules,
adaptive learning content, and open educational resources (OER).
As the
needs of faculty and students have shifted over the years, so has the role of
the campus bookstore. The webinar will discuss how stores will fit into the new
course-content landscape and what strategies stores can adopt to support
students’ and instructors’ success.
Presenting
the webinar will be Tony Ellis, CAE, vice president, industry advancement,
NACS.
Advance
registration for the webinar is required. If you haven’t already set up a NACS
login, you will be prompted to create one before registering.
