<p class="MsoNormal">All my students now are really nice people, but I have a lot of new, very naive students and I’m a bit concerned that I’m not fully protected if someone makes a complaint.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Consider this hypothetical situation: the student doesn’t have a printed textbook. There’s an option to buy it, but student doesn’t do that because it’s too expensive.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Student may purchase the cheaper eBook online, but in any case, I never receive a receipt. I really don’t know if the considerably cheaper eBook version was purchased or not since it’s integrated in to the LMS. In many situations, it’s
not that easy to tease a receipt out of the LMS anyway, and in other situations, the student didn’t know how or did not purchase the textbook.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Student fails the course and says it’s because we never provided alternate media.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Student did request this book over and over. It’s not on Bookshare; it’s not on learning ally and it’s not in the local public library. It isn’t on the ATN either, or at least I didn’t have enough book information to be sure it wasn’t.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Example: Professor syllabus says “Psychology” 8<sup>th</sup> or 9<sup>th</sup> edition”. No ISBN, no full title unless that’s it and no author or publisher. And I found the syllabus by pestering the prof over and over myself!
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So I didn’t provide alternate media. Am I protected as long as I was clear with the student that I needed either a physical book to scan or a receipt with full book information?<o:p></o:p></p>
