My Courses is a personalized booklist for students and faculty to access all of the digital course materials used in their current courses. This application is part of our Bookshelf Home suite and is available to institutions with integrated content access and retail systems. In addition to accessing ebooks and courseware, students visiting My Courses can update their participation preferences for their school bookstore’s course material access programs and make retail purchases for course materials. My Courses can be accessed directly or through <iframe> views in the school’s learning management system. The rest of Bookshelf has a separate VPAT covering its conformance. Where hosted in a third-party site, this VPAT covers only the embedded content and not the host site. |
