The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA) added a “Textbook Information Provision” where all institutions must disclose specific information on required reading on all Internet based course schedules effective July 1, 2010. MIT has begun an initiative, the Textbook Information Provision(TIP) project to not only ensure implementation of this new provision, but to also champion the cause of affordable course materials, open educational resources and OpenCourseWare by developing a solution that will help streamline the process by which textbook information is entered and used. The co-executive sponsors of this project are Professor Steve Lerman, Dean for Graduate Education and Vice Chancellor, and Professor Daniel Hastings, Dean for Undergraduate Education, and Betsy Hicks, Executive Director, Student Financial Services.
