Several campuses across Penn State have participated in a pilot that tackles the age-old problem of how to make textbooks more affordable and also helps students become more successful in the classroom. During the past fall and current spring semesters, faculty at the Penn State Worthington Scranton, Schuylkill and Mont Alto campuses have utilized the e-text platform called Unizin Engage, and it has the potential to transform the future of affordable content at Penn State.
Two Schuylkill students pleased with the Unizin pilot were Bria Nickerson (left) and Deja Young, shown above at the focus group session. They were both in Ron Kelly’s Introduction to Criminal Justice course.
