The UMBC Bookstore is pleased to announce the establishment of the first phase of the Course Materials Initiative (CMI) for the spring 2016 semester with 12 courses. .
The goals of CMI are to:
(1) provide students as a whole with more affordable course materials,
(2) enhance the students’ experience on a common digital platform via Blackboard, and
(3) position UMBC to be ahead of the curve with digital content.
Negotiations were conducted directly with publishers to provide students with reduced pricing. Students enrolled in the Phase 1 courses using CMI courses have had a course materials charge included on their tuition bill. Students can access the digital textbook and any ancillary materials publisher integrations (such as Aleks or WebAssign) directly via Blackboard with enhanced features such as highlighting, note taking and assistive technologies. Once you download the Bookshelf app, you can download your eBook to any of your mobile devices and access it anywhere – even without a connection!
