I am trying to determine whether to add access to a publisher's web site for an intro text in psychology. These promise a web site that is more enhanced than the typical "companion" site for the book...but require a new textbook each semester as the access code expires. I don't teach an online course but I have typically used some of these sites for in classroom teaching....demonstrations, videos, etc. I have also created a WebCT course that serves as an enhancement that doesn't require the "code". The publisher offers a code based web site, and the entire book in e-book form for about $25. No hard copy of the book with that price. A student could purchase a new book with access code for about $65 Another alternative is to have the students next semester buy a used book....and purchase the access code separately. Yet another idea is not used the code accessed publisher's web site at all. I 'd appreciate any feedback on this issue. Mark Eastman Psychology Diablo Valley College Pleasant Hill, CA 95423
