The affordability of, and accessibility to, lower cost course resources such as textbooks in higher education is a growing concern in the United States. We discuss how we're addressing that concern at Franklin University.
A Personalized Approach to Engaging with Course Content: Automating UDL Principles with Blackboard Ally’s Alternative Formats
Universal Design for Learning guidelines emphasize the importance of representing course content in diverse ways, but creating multiple formats of course files can be a challenge for instructors. In our study of course content (20 institutions, 20M+ content items), findings suggest courses contain diverse content types, but many do not meet accessibility standards and cannot be easily modified for diverse learner needs. Blackboard Ally uses machine learning to automatically generate several downloadable formats of a single content item, such as Audio for listening to text, HTML for reading on mobile devices, and Electronic Braille for people with visual impairments. Using recent data collected from Ally analytics and evidence from case studies, we offer insight into the ways students activate different learning modalities through the Alternative Formats, and offer a new take on personalized learning focused on increased student choice when engaging with course content.

The Future of Digital Textbooks, Tools of Change, 2010John Warren
Technology is driving change in education as it is in publishing. Distance education has become more common in higher education; universities are putting podcasts, texts, and entire courses online. The spiraling cost of textbooks is rendering higher education unaffordable to many students, particularly in community colleges, where textbook costs often exceed tuition. In the K-12 market, digital textbooks have been making inroads into the classroom; a California initiative aims to replace many high school science and math texts with free, “open source” digital versions, while the new Democratic Leadership Council has proposed a “Kindle in Every Backpack.” While some may think of a digital textbook merely an electronic image of a paper product, others have employed the electronic format in broadening the spectrum of learning. This session examines the emerging future of digital textbooks, including open access; subscriptions; texts bundled with online study resources; innovative texts that include multimedia, simulation models, automated assessments; and business models that will allow publishers to survive and thrive in the future.
