Important note for all students
Textbook and/or other learning materials may be only available in an internet-accessible format (e.g., e-textbook version or publisher app/platform), even if the course is available in limited or no internet access. The textbook and/or other learning materials may also be in a format that permits downloadable versions for offline use (e.g., open textbooks with PDF or Kindle/reader versions, e-textbooks with desktop or mobile apps for an initial internet download but offline use).
Sometimes there are other learning resources required to complete the course (e.g., kit of physical materials). Since textbook and learning material companies change their formats from time to time, access to courses will vary for those with limited or no internet access. Please consider your limited to no internet access situation, along with the ability to receive kits of materials or media resources that could be provided on a USB, when looking at which courses may be suitable for your learning.
