In the Fall 2023 academic term, CU Book Store, under the direction of Jessica Carlsen and Matt Avena, and in partnership with RedShelf, launched a revolutionary first-day course materials access program known to the industry as Cascading Access. In late March, Cascading Access was recognized by EdTech Digest as a 2024 Trendsetter Award Finalist. Known as CU Book Access on the University of Colorado Boulder campus, it is the first program to combine Equitable Access and Inclusive Access to give students complete control over their course materials program. It is designed to maximize affordability, convenience, and flexibility. With 96% of students participating, Cascading Access achieved the highest rate of any course materials delivery program in its first term. “Working with a forward-thinking partner like CU Book Store allowed RedShelf to develop technology that will also benefit students at schools nationwide,” said RedShelf CEO Rob Holland. “That’s why Cascading Access is now an integral part of our platform.” RedShelf’s Cascading Access technology is set to revolutionize course materials access as institutions recognize the value of offering maximum affordability and convenience to students on their own terms. Our thanks go out to EdTech Digest and Editor-in-Chief Victor Rivero for their service to our industry.
