Faculty Quick Adoption Form
With the correct textbook information we can make sure students have access to the course materials they need to succeed in your courses. Please fill out forms completely to be very clear on what books you will need for your sections.
As you consider textbooks and materials for your courses, please prioritize accessibility for students with disabilities as a key component of your selection. When collaborating with the sales representative for the book publisher, consider inquiring about the accessibility of the publisher's materials. Any barriers preventing students from achieving course outcomes may require an alternate accessibility plan.
Maximizing accessibility can mean keeping these three topics in mind:
- Choosing publisher materials that are available in alternative formats including print, braille, digital, or audio versions.
- Finding digital materials that are designed to include customizable accessibility settings or accessibility tools to enhance usability for all students.
- Picking digital materials that are easy to navigate and ensuring actions can be completed through the use of the keyboard.
To evaluate components that make materials accessible, consider reviewing the Publisher Materials Checklist. For additional information on accessibility, please consult ECC’s Accessibility webpage.
