Inside Higher Ed recently spoke to UC Clermont accounting Professor Patty Goedl about an interactive accounting resource she created that has saved students more than $100,000 so far. In 2020, Goedl watched the average cost of a digital accounting textbook soar from approximately $30 per student to more than $200. Students were struggling to afford the resource they needed to succeed in class. At first, Goedl negotiated with the publisher to decrease the cost of the textbook; but soon, the price rose again. So, she created her own.
