[aisle] Epic home use and Coronavirus

>From their website:

The free educator version of *Epic* is for use in the classroom or school
library between 6am-4pm Monday through Friday. For use at home, students
should be using the home version of *Epic*. This is due to our Terms of
Service and our contracts with publishers.


In order for students to access *Epic* at home, a parent can purchase a
subscription of *Epic* for home and family use. Parents can try *Epic* free
for 30 days, and if they decide to subscribe, *Epic* costs only
$7.99/month  (after the first free month) for access to *Epic*'s full
library of thousands of titles.


I suspect this means they "geo-fence" access, controlling it by only
allowing that free access from the network connections of  the school.

However, they have an "Enable Home Access" button that lets teachers invite
parents to use a "free 30-day trial", which might be useful in this
situation.  I don't know if that means the parent has to provide a credit
card to sign up, but it wouldn't surprise me.
