Abstract: The rising costs of course materials have higher education stakeholders looking for alternatives to the traditional course materials acquisition model. Two models of interest are open educational resources and inclusive access. Open educational resources have been widely studied. However, inclusive access has had a sudden rise in adoption across the country. This quick rise has left gaps in the literature as to the efficacy of such programs. A review of the literature on the efficacy of inclusive access course materials models returned only four published studies. The purpose of this study was to examine the use of an inclusive access course materials model on student outcomes at a Technical College. The Technical College provided student outcome data for 7110 students across six courses. The analysis documented significant differences between the before and after inclusive access samples for five of the nine categories examined. Results of this study fall in line with previous studies that have examined the impact of inclusive access course materials models on student outcomes.
