Opt-outs
- The free-to-subscribe model will allow students to purchase a subscription without having to enter any information. As such, we do not have a way to support opt-outs on a free-to-subscribe zyBook.
- If the program needs to support opt-outs and allow students to purchase directly, the access key model will need to be used instead.
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.
