Students can either purchase the digital or print editions of these books from Amazon.com (I get books for all of my courses there) or borrow books from the library. Students will know at least a week in advance what the next book will be. The Gutenberg Project (https://www.gutenberg.org/) is an additional resource. It has over 54,000 free public domain ebooks.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
