As previously announced (see link, below), Augsburg is onboarding two new partners this spring to support our campus store. eCampus is our new partner for course materials. To prepare for the transition from Barnes & Noble to eCampus, please note the following important dates:
1) Initial faculty training: In preparation for switching to the new system, eCampus will conduct a training on its online adoption platform on May 15 at 1 p.m., as part of the Center for Teaching and Learning’s Days in May schedule. The session will be recorded, and additional sessions will be scheduled at later dates.
2) Deadline for Summer Time 2 and Fall adoptions: The best way to ensure eCampus will have sufficient time to source course materials for your Summer Time 2 and Fall courses is to ensure your course material adoptions are SUBMITTED IN THE EXISTING BARNES & NOBLE SYSEM BY MAY 21. Barnes & Noble will provide eCampus a data file of all adoptions submitted by that date, which eCampus will use to prepare for Summer Time 2 and Fall.
We are still working to confirm when the eCampus adoption portal will be available for use, but it is NOT recommended that you wait for that system to go live to submit Summer Time 2 or Fall adoptions, as that may result in insufficient lead time for eCampus to source the required materials.
