CSU students typically pay over $800 per year for their books. By reducing their expenses, we believe we can provide better access to a quality CSU learning experience. We are launching this campaign in 2010 and will be continuously improving the services to CSU faculty and students each semester. The Affordable Learning Solutions website is designed to:• Make it easy for faculty, staff, and students to find no/low cost course content that can substitute for more costly textbooks• Enable faculty to be recognized for their efforts in reducing costs for students• Share practices for using no/low cost digital content in CSU courses• Support campuses in customizing their strategies to enable affordable learning solutions http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=340192 The CATEA website provides a wide range of information on accessibility news, events, projects, resources, products, and publications The Center for Assistive Technology and Environmental Access (CATEA), formerly the Center for Rehabilitation Technology (CRT), was established at the Georgia Institute of Technology on December 1, 1980. In its first two decades it grew to include expertise in the disciplines of engineering, industrial design, architecture, computer science, rehabilitation counseling, occupational therapy, adult literacy education, orthotics and recreational therapy. By the 1990's, CATEA was an established interdisciplinary research and design center devoted to applications of technology to alleviate problems of human need, providing service, research and education under the auspices of a world class academic institution. With the new millenium, CATEA has taken another leap forward, using the best tools of the digital age to reach an ever-expanding number of consumers.
