How Do I Receive, Redeem, and Use eBooks for AAPC Courses?
AAPC provides eBooks for its courses through a streamlined process involving email delivery and redemption on the VitalSource platform. This guide explains how to receive, redeem, and use your eBooks effectively.
Overview of the eBook Delivery Process
Receiving Redemption Codes: eBook redemption codes are sent to the email address associated with your AAPC account. If you don’t see the email, check your spam or junk folder. Ensure your account email is correct to avoid delays.
Timing of Delivery: Codes are typically sent shortly after purchase or when the eBook becomes available. For pre-ordered materials you will receive the code via email upon release.
Step-by-Step Guide to Redeeming eBooks
To access your eBooks, follow these steps:
Create or Sign In to Your VitalSource Account: - Visit the VitalSource website. - If you don’t already have an account, create one. This account will host all your redeemed eBooks.
Redeem Your eBook Code: - Log in to your VitalSource Bookshelf account. - Select the "Redeem/Activate Code" option. - Enter your eBook redemption code exactly as provided in the email. - Once redeemed, the eBook will appear in your Bookshelf library.
Access Your eBooks: - Your eBooks can be accessed across supported devices via the VitalSource Bookshelf app or website. - If the eBook doesn’t appear in the app, ensure you’ve redeemed the code on the website first. The title will then sync to your devices.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Missing Redemption Codes: If you haven’t received your codes, check your spam or junk folder. If they’re still missing, contact AAPC support to verify your email address and request a resend.
Syncing Issues: If your eBook doesn’t appear in the VitalSource app, ensure you’ve redeemed the code on the website. The eBook should sync automatically after redemption.
Using eBooks with Your Courses
Course Integration: Many AAPC courses, such as CPMA and CPC, include eBooks that align with the coursework. Use the eBooks to follow chapter readings, complete reviews, and prepare for tests.
Blackboard Access: Some eBooks may link directly to your Blackboard course materials, providing seamless access to required readings.
