After determining your Inclusive Access strategy and making the upcoming term’s adoption selections, you’re ready to finalize your book list and pricing. VitalSource has several platforms and resources to make managing and scaling your Inclusive Access program easy and efficient.
Build Your Program
Creating a book list for the upcoming term will allow you to organize all of your content adoptions against their corresponding courses. Your Customer Success Manager, plus tools like Connect and Manage, can help you gather all of the materials you’ll need.
Acquire Course Materials
You may have agreements directly with publishers for custom content or need to acquire custom ISBNs. Connect and Manage will allow you to keep track of the status of this content. As content becomes available, it will be distributed to you for item creation in Connect. From there, you can negotiate and finalize pricing to ensure you start the term with the most reliable and accurate data.
Ensure Student Information System (SIS) Setup Is Live
Your Customer Success Manager will work with you directly to set up an SFTP for enrollment file communication. You’ll get instructions and a walkthrough, and we’ll do some test file trial runs. Once confirmed, your student enrollment information will be pulled into Connect for tracking course content and student charges.
