Courses Tab in Textbook Details

Print

Book/course relationships are listed on the "Courses" tab. Book/course relationships are key to calculating your campuses' eligibility numbers per ISBN and enabling several course-dependent reports (within the district view and the campus view). Example reports include the "District Analysis of Need," "Campus Needs by Title," "Class Roster Book Check," and "Class Roster with Bar Codes."

Note:

Eligibility (a number the district uses to approve additional materials requested from a campus) is calculated by the following equation:

(Campus student % x Current enrollment number) + (Campus teacher % x Current teacher enrollment number) = ISBN eligibility

Most districts designate student edition materials for students only. To only account for student enrollment eligibility, use zeros in the Campus Teacher % field for student edition materials. In almost all cases, districts designate teacher edition materials for teachers only. To only account for teacher enrollment eligibility, use zeros in the Campus Student % field for teacher edition materials.

To designate that every student/teacher enrolled is entitled to a copy of the ISBN (1:1 ratio), enter 100% into the respective campus percentage field. It is common to have a higher percentage for the district fields. This allows for district growth, special education copies, etc.

Pro Tips:

  • Review an ISBN's district-wide eligibility numbers on the "Textbook Details" inventory tab under the "Textbook Needs" section. Reports have three "District Analysis of Needs" reports (current enrollment, max enrollment, and percentage forecast).
  • Review a campus's eligibility for an ISBN in "Find a Book" and/or the "Campus Details" eligibility tab. The "Campus Needs by Title" report is another option for reviewing a campus's eligibility.
  • Review current book/course relationships with the "Master Courses Listing" report.
  • Review a list of all campuses offering a specific course on the "Courses" page.
