Remember, you can always link external files from Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive, which don’t count towards your storage quota.
LabArchives Classroom ELN
What is the cost of Lab Builder / LabArchives ELN for Education?
Lab Builder is included as a part of LabArchives. There is no additional cost to use Lab Builder content for instructors or for students. Instructors do not have to pay anything to use LabArchives in their course and they receive, complimentary, the Professional Edition of Lab Archives as well.
How does payment work if LabArchives is being paid for by students?
Once students have been enrolled in the course, the instructor sends access. If students are on financial aid, LabArchives can ensure those students will not have to pay, or pay the amount dictated by the institution. If the institution requires purchase through the bookstore, LabArchives will work directly with the bookstore. If the institution requires payment to be made by the institution or department, LabArchives can invoice accordingly.
- Student Paid: Students can pay for LabArchives with a credit card, PayPal, or through their university bookstore.
- Institution Paid: LabArchives collects payment from the institution.
My students pay for a lab manual and my department/institution receives a royalty. Can LabArchives accommodate custom publishing activities such as this?
