It is probably not a good idea to simply allow ad money to select which books are used, so it would likely be an involved process of: - Previewing texts by teachers,
- Selecting texts to use,
- THEN selling ad/patron/grant space for revenue.
Strict rules of the type and format of ads would also have to be applied.
Go ahead and say it: No one likes ads.
But who likes paying $500 a year for textbooks? |
People that take course like this. "A History of Erotic Narrative (LTCS2014)"

Of course they probably wouldn't mind the advertising either.
I'm sorry was the rhetorical?
Seriously is it only $500 a year for textbooks? That's what I had to pay in the dark ages and then I had an instructor that handed out Xeroxed magazine articles all year because the textbook was out of date.
I think the best solution is to include the textbook cost in the course fees.
