National survey to explore the cost and access to textbooks for tertiary study in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Introduction
Does the cost of textbooks affect which courses you choose? Do you rely on the library having copies and not buy textbooks yourself? Do you feel that lack of access to textbooks affects your grades?
The survey will take about 4 to 6 minutes to complete.
Each student who completes the survey and opts-in to be considered to win one of ten $50 supermarket vouchers will be entered into the draw.
Who is conducting this research?
This is an initiative of the national Centre for Open Education Practice conducted in association with the UNESCO Chair in Open Educational Resources at Otago Polytechnic.
