Sounds like he's looking for a free solution, not trialware.

"Interactive case studies" is a value-add that might be worth paying for.
Yeah, that's why I threw this out there. Our cases are intended to supplement a textbook, not replace it.
What will you be paying with after your 5 to 30k/year tuition? You can't bleed a stone.
I agree. It's rare for a teacher to pay for our cases out of their own pocket; it's generally the school system who purchases a package out of their yearly budget.
