As an instructor for a First Day/Inclusive Access course, you will need to add the First Day Course Materials tool link in Blackboard so that students can opt-out of the program if they wish, during the designated period of time.
If an instructor intends to use solely the eBook, students will use this link to view the content as well as opting-out of the book fee should they decide to drop the course. If instead the instructor intends to utilize Macmillan courseware through the LaunchPad or Achieve platforms, then students will only use this First Day link to opt out of the Macmillan resources fee should they decide to drop the course. Students will then access Macmillan resources including the eBook and all associated courseware through a specific content area the instructor will set up separately.
Watch the tutorial video below and follow the steps demonstrated to create your First Day Course Materials tool link and (if applicable) a Macmillan content area for the eBook and courseware.
