Takeaway
Publishers report increasing revenues
from digital products.
Digital revenues have not been sufficient
to offset loss of revenue from print sales.
Profits are also down.
Profitability is affected by:

Enrollments
Student buying habits (driven by
perceptions)
Substitute products from third parties
(used books, rentals, free content,
discounted Amazon, etc.)
28. Counterfeit Print Books
Number of counterfeit print textbooks spiked since 2014
Cengage estimates piracy costs the company $70-100 million
annually
In a review of materials for sale by online textbook retailers,
portions of the inventory were found to be more than 75%
counterfeit.
Straumsheim, Carl. “Look for the Seal” Inside Higher Ed, June 6, 2017
29. Counterfeit Print Books
In 2017 Cengage instituted
an anti-piracy certification
seal: “scanning a QR code
on the book cover sends
readers to an authentication
Website where, by matching
the design of the book in
their hands to Cengage’s
catalog, they can confirm
that the book is legitimate. If
the design doesn’t match,
readers can report the
counterfeit.1”
McGraw-Hill is planning to
introduce similar “prooftags.”

30. Digital
The move to digital is proceeding.
49% of students have purchased and used an etextbook1.
33% of students still prefer printed textbooks. (Insignificant
change since 2015)1.
At Bowling Green State University, the campus store no longer
carries textbooks. Students can order printed textbooks online
through the store’s Website. Books are trucked from the BGSU
warehouse to the store—one-day turnaround.
According to publishers, digital revenues now outpace print
revenues.

33. Digital: How does it affect authors?
Initial concern that lower prices for digital books would affect
royalty stream.
The initial driver for digital was COST; students expected lower
prices.
But the price of digital courseware is increasing.
According to a 2016 study by the Student Public Interest
Research Group (SPIRG), the average cost of an access code
purchased at a college bookstore is $100.
An access code bundled with a printed textbook costs an
average of $126.
This trend may provide authors with a viable income stream, if
they receive royalties on the entire purchase, BUT...
34. Courseware
Wiley: WileyPLUS
McGraw-Hill: Connect, LearnSmart, SmartBook, ALEKS,
Create (instructor-curated), Campus (SSO), StudyWise(
adaptive)
Cengage: MindTap
Digital books are only one component of an access code. Publishers
are increasingly bundling homework and assessment materials with
etextbooks.
These materials are typically supplied by proprietary platforms
developed by publishers, now styling themselves as edtech
companies.
35. In the last ten years, textbook prices increased 63 percent and are growing faster than all
other college costs, including tuition and fees. Textbook publishing is an oligopoly. Due to
the lack of competition, large companies completely control the prices of textbooks and
other mandatory services sold to students. Pearson, in particular, stands out a head
above the rest. Pearson monopolized standardized testing in K–12 and college textbooks,
and they are currently sinking their claws into homework.
It seems like something out of a weird, hyper-capitalist dystopian future, but that future is
happening now. Pearson and similar publishers sell homework to students through digital
learning systems, like Pearson’s MyLab and McGraw-Hill’s Connect. Essentially, these
companies expect and require students to pay for access to necessary coursework and
grade information. For the most part, this also includes an electronic copy of a textbook
that students cannot keep or resell, which undermines the used textbook industry.
I understand why instructors might outsource some of their work to these systems from
big publishers. However, it is not fair, in this author’s opinion, to ask students to pay for it.
If a professor created assignments of their own and asked students to pay to access the
assignment, how would the student body and university react? Why, then, are current
PSU students paying publishing companies for required coursework? Why does PSU
expect us to pay for it?

Courseware: Student views
36. “Adaptive learning is based on educational theory and cognitive
science that emphasizes personalized delivery of concepts,
continuous assessment of gained and retained knowledge and
skills, and design of targeted and personalized study paths that
help students improve in their areas of weakness while retaining
competencies.”
Courseware: Adaptive
McGraw-Hill Education, Inc. Annual Report as of December 31, 2016
37. Courseware: Adaptive
A growing trend with lots of current marketing buzz.
Adaptive materials are expensive to produce, even when
offshored.
Effectiveness is questionable.
Bill and Melinda Gates foundation funded a study carried out by
SRI involving more than 19,000 students during a three-semester
time period.
Of the individual courseware impact estimates, 10 of 15 were
essentially zero, indicating that grades in the adaptive and
comparison versions of the course usually were equivalent. Of the
remaining five cases, four were significantly positive, and one was
significantly negative.
SRI Education. “Lessons Learned from Early Implementations of Adaptive Courseeware.” April 2016.
38. Courseware: Adaptive
How will author-generated content fit into the adaptive platforms?
Who will create the learning paths?
How will authors be compensated for use of their content?
Will publishers attempt to reduce royalties, based on the portion of the
courseware that is didactive text rather than interactive assessment and
homework?
How will publishers select the content that is loaded into adaptive
platforms?
39. Disruptors: The
Takeaway
An increase in counterfeit print textbooks
contributes to decrease in revenues and
potentially in author royalties.
Used book and third-party rentals may be
starting to decline.
Digital products are evolving from digital
textbooks to digital courseware that
includes assessment and homework
helpers.
“Adaptive” is one of the recent marketing
buzzwords.
Digital courseware may be trending to a
similar price point as printed textbooks.
Authors may not benefit unless royalties
are calculated on the NET sales for a
courseware suite, not just on the ebook
portion.
41. Another salvo arrived in June of 2016 with a California community
college initiative to make college more financially accessible by using
free materials.
“The annual costs of textbooks are about $1,300 per year for a full-time
community college student and amount to about a third of the cost of an
Associate’s degree.” FACT CHECK: FALSE
That cost information was picked up and quoted in more than 100
articles since it appeared, getting prominent coverage from The
Chronicle of Higher Education, the Washington Post, Forbes, and NBC
News among others,
An excellent discussion in Phil Hill’s e-Literate column
Reprise: How much do Community College Students Actually Pay for
Textbooks?
We have renewed life in the meme that textbooks—print or digital—are
too expensive.
“Textbooks are too expensive”
42. In January 2017 Pearson announced a two-step plan to reduce college
costs.
Reduced the price of 2000 ebook titles by up to 50%.
Initiated a rental model online and in 1500 campus stores, with a 60%
price reduction.

43. OER: Open Educational Resources
The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation defines OER as
“teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the
public domain or have been released under an intellectual
property license that permits their free use and re-purposing by
others. Open educational resources include full courses,
course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests,
software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to
support access to knowledge.”
David Wiley, who coined the term “open content” defines it:
Open content describes a copyrightable work that is licensed in
a way that provides users with free, perpetual permission to
retain, reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute (the 5Rs).
44. OER
13% of students report using 1 or more OER textbooks during
Spring 2017
47% of all students (82% of student who have used OER)
believe “using OER materials is more appealing than
purchasing or renting printed textbooks.”
29% of all students (67% of student who have used OER)
believe the the quality of OER textbooks is just as good or
better than a printed textbook.
Student Monitor http://files.studentmonitor.com/s17/Deck.pdf
45. OER: Instructor opinions
4% using OER as primary course materials
75% have no direct experience with OER content
36% view OER content as a viable alternative to commercial courseware
39% have never heard of OER
60% of instructors using OER are highly satisfied
Quality of OER equivalent to commercial resources
OER viewed as more current than traditional publisher’s resources
Viewed as more cost-effective for students—touted as FREE
Student Monitor http://files.studentmonitor.com/s17/Deck.pdf

Instructors viewed traditional resources as superior in:
Range of subjects
Quantity of materials available per subject
Mapping to learning outcomes
Trusted quality
Student Monitor http://files.studentmonitor.com/s17/Deck.pdf
47. OER: Deterrents to adoption
No comprehensive catalog, making it difficult to find
resources
Not enough material to cover subject-area objectives
Difficulty integrating into technology platforms
Lack of assessment *Not mentioned!

52. OER: Authors
Publishers are hedging bets by establishing a presence in the
OER marketplace
Will OER gain substantial traction, or is it a passing fad?
Will publishers seek OER materials rather than contract with
authors for content?
Are there emerging opportunities for authors who want to
curate OER content?
53. Inclusive Access
Cost of textbook is included with course fee or automatically
billed to student account
Digital materials are available on day one
School has negotiated a steeply discounted price (30-40% of
retail price)
Big step n ensuring that all students have access to course
materials at an affordable price
Programs typically managed by college stores
54. Inclusive Access
Also called:
Day-one access
Digital direct
Academic content licensing
Institutional sales
Course-fee model
Text with tuition
U.C. Davis
Indiana University
Rowan-Cabarrus Community College
55. Inclusive Access
Can publishers ultimately afford to support this model?
Lower per-student price
More even and predictable revenue stream
Is this model really so different from the old “adoption” model when
schools negotiated discounted pricing on print books?
How will it affect author royalties?
Lower price means less $$ per book
But eliminates used books and non-publisher sales
Check contracts—publisher may try to classify these sales as bulk
discount for which you receive a lower royalty rate
56. Consumers: The
Takeaway
Students and instructors believe that
textbooks are too expensive.
Consumers are becoming disillusioned
about the price of digital.
This situation opens the door for OER
products.
Mainstream publishers are attempting to
get ahead of the OER trend.
Authors should be wary. OER may
become a substitute for your work. The
compensation model for OER authoring
does not typically follow the traditional
model.
Inclusive access is an alternative model
gaining traction that may ultimately be
less disruptive and most beneficial to all
parties.
57. +
Recap
Publishing company revenues and profits are down.
Publishers are remaking themselves into edTech
companies.
Rentals and used books are still a factor, though
perhaps trending down.
Digital efforts continue, with an emphasis on adaptive
and interactive platforms that include “homework”
and assessment.
OER is a potential disruptor—lifespan unknown.
Inclusive access is a model that should be on every
author’s radar.
Authors are responding incrementally to publisher
evolution.

Bill and Melinda Gates foundation funded a study carried out by SRI involving more than 19,000 students during a three-semester time period.
Of the individual courseware impact estimates, 10 of 15 were essentially zero, indicating that grades in the adaptive and comparison versions of the course usually were equivalent. Of the remaining five cases, four were significantly positive, and one was significantly negative.
Ten comparisons involving courseware using micro adaptivity had a small but significant positive effect size on course grade on average (effect size = +0.15, p < .01). The 18 comparisons involving macro adaptivity did not significantly improve course grades (effect size = -0.018, p = .709).
Only the subgroup of comparisons involving instructors supplying some content for use with a vendor- provided adaptive algorithm had a significant positive impact on course grades based on a random-effects model (effect size = +0.23, p =< .01).
