26 Textbook Analysis

Do you use a common textbook throughout a commonly numbered course?

In certain courses. Some courses, because of our partnerships, use a provided e-text within the respective curriculums.

Please describe the process you use to select textbooks.

Instructors review texts from various vendors. Instructors can elect hard copy, e-text or online versions of texts, whichever best supports the curriculum and provides the lowest cost to the student. We strive to keep text book costs to a minimum within our programs. Our vendors keep their curriculum up to date since our students will eventually take the vendor’s industry certification exam. We use the vendors (Microsoft, Cisco, CompTIA, and Amazon Web Services) industry approved courseware and curriculum.
