Store Leader Course Materials Panel Webinar - A special webinar presented by VitalSource
2025-04-23 13:00 - 14:00 (America/Chicago) | Zoom
Presented by VitalSource, free and exclusively for ICBA Members, with a mix of educational and commercial content.
With multiple course materials models in the mix—Max Inclusive Access, Equitable Access, and Flexible Access—it can be tough to sort through what truly aligns with your campus goals and your students’ needs, today and into the future.
Join VitalSource's Heather Dean, Kellie Ranum and a panel of campus store leaders for a real, unfiltered conversation about the course materials models they chose, why they chose them, and how it’s worked out. Whether you're just beginning to explore or looking for a gut check on your current direction, this webinar will help you understand the options and hear firsthand what’s worked, what’s been tricky, and what these leaders are considering for future.
