Ive been approached by a publisher to consider a “bundle” or “package”. From the Bookstores point of view, what is the thing I should consider before making the decision?
When evaluating a bundle or package, first consider how you will use the components to enhance your students’ learning. If you intend to make the additional components an integral part of you curriculum (for example, by assigning work that requires access to a particular website that is part of the package), then a bundle can represent an excellent price and educational value for your students. However, if you don’t plan to refer to or assign work requiring bundled components, then the stand alone text – which is easier to acquire through book buyback and from used book wholesalers – will likely save your students money.
