“We have both. So some cases, universities pay for it, but a lot of the cases, students will directly pay either through the bookstore or they will pay through a credit card.”
“So our pricing is, by the course. So the way the product is used is, a faculty or a group of faculties would decide to use yellowdig as their teaching, any subject area. So the decision is at a course level. So, essentially, the pricing is also at a course level.”
