Textbook & Attributes Selection (two-step process)

Convocation AgendaDownload the guidelines

 

STEP 1: Materials & Schedule Attributes (XB-12) Form

The Materials & Schedule Attributes Form collects information required by the state, as well as populates the schedule with the correct attribute (Zero Textbook Cost, Low Textbook Cost, or neither) for each section. Each section must be updated for each term, but the new form means that it’s easy to roll over past attributes.

The form contains a link to the ZTC Program & Reporting page of the OER website, which explains the XB12 process and codes and gives examples of applying them. It also links to IVC's ZTC & LTC guidelines.

Completing the form

  1. Log in. If you’re not already logged in, the link to the form will take you to IVC’s Single Sign-On (SSO) page so that you can do so. Once you’re logged in, the form will show your own name and email address.Materials
  2. Select the appropriate term(s). Use the pull-down menu to click on the term you wish to update. Only courses that have been assigned to you in Banner for that term will populate the list. If sections are missing, contact your Chair.
     
  3. Roll attributes over or make updates.
     
    1.  If you’ve entered XB-12 information in the past, those designations will appear beside any courses you’re teaching for the selected semester. If the information is accurate, select the green “Roll Over As-Is” button. Click the boxes to confirm your selection and click “Submit Form.”Latest Courses
    2. If you haven’t entered attributes, or if those attributes have changed, select “Make updates” and use the pull-down menu beside each course to select the correct attribute. When attributes have been selected for all courses, check the box to confirm and click “Submit Form.”OER Selection

Step 2: Bookstore selections visa Follett Adopt
Even if you’re using all OER materials or your course doesn’t require a textbook, you must confirm your information with the (virtual) Bookstore. It is crucial (and legally mandated) that students are aware of all costs associated with a section prior to registration, making full and accurate completion of this step essential.

 

Using Follett Adopt

  1. Log in to Canvas and enter the Adopt platform. In Canvas (to log in, enter your credentials in the SSO and then select “Canvas”), click on the “Bookstore” link in the far left (universal) navigation bar. The Adopt platform will open in a new tab and welcome you by name. Select the “instructor” role and click the “Continue” button.”
  2. Launch (or skip) the Adopt virtual tour. A pop-up window will welcome you to Adopt, and you may either click through the tour or skip it. Adoption
