BNED Courseware Available for $25; Content
Catalog Expanded to 32 Courses
BNED LoudCloud, a Barnes & Noble Education, Inc.
(NYSE: BNED) company, today announced that as part of its
ongoing mission to drive affordability and accessibility on
campuses nationwide, it has lowered the price of BNED Courseware to
$25, and expanded its available subject offerings for the fall
semester to 32 total courses.
Leveraging a foundation of high quality open educational
resources (OER), including content from OpenStax, BNED Courseware
combines the complete eText with a full range of ancillary
materials to create an easily customizable platform for faculty
that is available to students by the first day of class. Faculty
have the ability to personalize their course with a wide range of
materials developed by BNED, including auto-graded practice
problems, summative exams, lecture slides and homework activities.
It easily integrates with campus learning management systems (LMS),
allowing for seamless, single sign-on access by students and a
convenient gradebook sync option for faculty. Powered by its
LoudSight predictive analytics solution, the platform also provides
integrated analytic insights, offering a core, differentiating
feature that enables both students and their faculty to monitor
performance and improve learning outcomes.
“BNED Courseware is an excellent solution for schools seeking
new ways to drive down costs on campus while continuing to offer
the high quality products and services their students and faculty
need to succeed,” said Sean Sullivan, General Manager, BNED
LoudCloud. “The time and effort of OER curation often hinders its
use on campuses. We are removing that barrier, providing high
quality OER content in a ready-to-use platform that reduces the
cost of learning materials while improving student engagement and
outcomes.”
Currently available through Barnes & Noble College and MBS
Direct bookstores, BNED Courseware is also made available through
Barnes & Noble College’s First Day™ inclusive access model.
Inclusive access models offer course materials at reduced prices
through a course materials charge for participating programs, and
ensure students receive their materials on or before the first day
of class.
“We are very pleased with the positive feedback we’ve received
both from students and faculty about BNED Courseware, and look
forward to increasing our catalog of courses across Business,
Criminal Justice, Healthcare, and more,” said Ann Fraley, Vice
President, Campus Solutions, BNED. “Ensuring that our schools have
access to the widest choice of affordable materials, including OER,
is critical to BNED’s mission of helping our partners drive the
best outcomes for students.”
