Publisher Integration and Inclusive Access Recording 

Integration of publisher content in MyClasses is a maze with different options around every turn. ID&D partnered with the SU Bookstore for a webinar that took place on April 13 to inform faculty of important updates related to:

• Changes in publisher integrations for McGraw-Hill Connect, ALEKS, Pearson and more
• Essential faculty workflows when using Inclusive Access to ensure students have access to course materials
  

The webinar was recorded and is now available for on-demand viewing. Information in this webinar will have a direct impact for summer 2023, fall 2023 and beyond. Whether you are a novice or veteran in using publisher materials and/or Inclusive Access, we encourage you to watch this webinar in the ID&D Past Recorded Sessions playlist.
