Scope

Course Materials

Course materials are defined as required teaching and learning content:

• textbooks and their equivalents, including literary texts
• digital learning platforms
• homework systems, etc.

Other supplies are not considered course materials for the purpose of course marking, such as:

• clickers
• lab safety gear
• art supplies
• required calculators and other technology, etc.

In other words, a course that requires a clicker or lab safety gear can still be marked as an affordable course if it utilizes otherwise free or low cost material.

Recommended materials are not addressed by this project.
