WITH THE ADVANCEMENT of technology and an increasing wealth of digital resources, institutions are looking at more and more compelling opportunities that could serve their strategic goals for instruction and research. But they may find that many of the technologies they wish to implement are not affordable, or they are impractical to scale, or they do not interoperate with key university systems, or they are difficult to integrate.4
Unizin’s e-text initiative is working to provide more affordable course content to students.
