Falcon Online now has a new tool, Follett Discover, that makes it very easy for instructors to choose and adopt course materials and for students to purchase those materials.
To access Follett Discover, log in to Falcon Online. On the My Home page, select Follett Discover from the navbar as in figure 1 below. Or log in directly by clicking on this link: https://daytonastate.betterknow.com/.
You will then see a page similar to figure 2 below. Choose a term to see a list of course cards for that term. If materials have already been adopted, they will be listed in the course cards. If you have yet to adopt materials, you will see a screen similar to figure 3 below.
In figure 3, select the relevant term then select the course title in the course card. You will then see a screen similar to figure 4 below.

Students access Follett Discover through the same link in figure 1. It is important to note that since this link is on the My Home page, students can access it prior to class start dates.
