I've reported on this trend previously. "It's an American trend that's slowly gaining attention - and controversy - in Canada. Instead of buying new or used textbooks, or independently purchasing a digital licence, students are being automatically enrolled in fee-based subscription services to access their textbooks and course materials online." The fallacy, of course, is the assertion that "student success... was the driver." The program has received virtually no support from students, and there are other ways to provide access to learning resources at much lower cost.
