Opt-outs
Our free-to-subscribe model will allow students to purchase a subscription without having to pay. We do no have a way to support opt-outs and add a paywall on a free-to-subscribe zyBook.
With the access key model, we have the option to add a paywall. If your IA/EA program allows students to opt out, students need a way to purchase directly, please select the Access Key model.
LTI
zyBooks does support LTI (or connection a zyBook to an LMS such as Canvas/Blackboard/Moodle/etc).
LTI is independent of Inclusive Access. Instructors can set up IA/EA without LTI. Similarly, instructors can set up LTI without IA/EA.
To learn more about LTI please see Getting started with LTI/Single-Sign-on.
If you are interested in using zyBooks with inclusive access, please reach out to us at bookstore@zybooks.com.
