Barnes and Noble College (BNC), a Barnes & Noble
Education, Inc. (NYSE: BNED) company and leading solutions
provider for the education industry, today announced the launch of
First Day® Complete with bartleby® digital study and writing tools
at Delgado Community College. Through a new two-year partnership,
this innovative program branded Delgado Course Complete, will
provide all required course materials and the suite of bartleby
digital study tools for all students on all Delgado Community
College campuses. This is the first time that BNC has included the
bartleby suite of products as a part of its First Day Complete
equitable access program.
BNC, which manages the Delgado campus bookstore and associated
school branded e-commerce site, will implement Delgado Course
Complete for all 21,120 students across Delgado’s seven campuses
for the Spring 2022 term.
By delivering all course materials via one highly convenient
concierge service, Delgado Course Complete ensures students have
access to all their required course materials on or before the
first day of class, allowing them to engage with course content
from day one, making them better prepared and facilitating their
academic success. The program offers full academic freedom for
faculty, allowing them to select course materials they think are
best for their curriculum and leverage BNC’s deep relationships
with more than 6,000 publishers, creating a one-stop, simplified
experience.
Delgado Community College students will also have 24/7 access to
bartleby’s study resources, including experts who provide
step-by-step explanations to questions in more than 30 subjects. In
addition, students will have access to a virtual writing tool that
provides essay building support, spelling and grammar checks,
citation assistance, preventative plagiarism scans and AI-powered
predictive scoring, among other features. Bartleby products and
services are designed to improve student success and outcomes,
offering pathways for learning that fit the schedules and demands
of today's students.
“We look forward to working with Delgado Community College to
enhance the student learning experience through this innovative
model of course material delivery. Delgado Course Complete ensures
that all students are prepared to begin learning on day one, and
bartleby products and services will continue to support them in
their studies throughout the semester,” said Jonathan Shar,
President, Barnes & Noble College. “This partnership reinforces
Barnes and Noble College’s differentiated and collaborative
approach to working with our partner institutions to provide
solutions to help drive improved learning outcomes. We look forward
to advancing our partnerships with educational institutions across
the U.S. and continuing to expand our offerings to support student
academic success by enhancing access, convenience and
affordability.”
"At Delgado, the majority of our student population is part-time
or non-traditional students, balancing the demands and
responsibilities of their busy lives with that of pursuing their
academic goals," said Angela Camaille, Director of Instructional
Technology, Support and Professional Development at Delgado
Community College. "We want to support our students and provide
them with the tools and access they need to achieve success in the
format they need, when they need it. We are investing in on-demand
tutoring help such as bartleby to help us do that."
