“Inclusive access programs play an important role in driving
affordability, access and achievement, and we are pleased to see
the continued growth of these models on campuses across the
country,” said Ann Fraley, Vice President, Campus Solutions, Barnes
& Noble College. “We are excited about our expanded partnership
with Macmillan Learning, which will ensure faculty and students
have wide access to affordable, high-quality digital content and
allow for greater success in the classroom and beyond.”
“Macmillan Learning is dedicated to providing all learners with
the materials they need to reach their fullest potential in
college,” said Simon Horrer, Senior Vice President Finance for
Macmillan Learning. “Providing students with the highest quality
content in a variety of affordable formats is fundamental to our
mission. Ensuring they have immediate access to those course
materials on the first day of each course is critical to their
success. Working in partnership with BNED ensures that together we
are positioning more students for achievement as soon as classes
begin.”
Inclusive access models, including Barnes & Noble College’s
First Day™ model, ensure students have the materials they need at
the start of the semester which has proven to continuously drive
positive outcomes. In these programs, course materials are offered
at reduced prices for participating programs, and seamlessly
delivered to students through their learning management system on
or before the first day of class. By providing students with
immediate access to digital course content, inclusive access models
allow faculty members to begin instruction – and students to begin
learning – right on day one, a goal shared by Macmillan Learning
and BNED.
