Confidence & Connections: Student Books Digital View Monthly Subscription
$7.00 / month
The digital view of Confidence and Connections is now available as a subscription only. The monthly subscription to Confidence and Connections student books provides full access to all of the student books in the series in digital view format. Access is granted to one user per purchase. The subscription renews automatically on a monthly basis.
How to Use Digital View
Watch this 3 minute video if you need additional support to make your purchase.
Upon purchase, you can access the books by navigating to the “Memberships” section that you will find by clicking on “My Account” at the top of any page on the Intercambio website.
Please note: Due to the automatic renewal feature, Digital View subscriptions may only be purchased with a credit card.
If you’re using the Confidence and Connections series for online classes, purchasing digital view access of the student books allows teachers to easily screen share or project lessons during class.
The Confidence and Connections student books are designed to best be used as physical workbooks where students write and complete all of their lessons aiding in their retention of the material and giving them a way to review their work and measure their progress. The digital view is not intended to replace print copies of the student book and is not downloadable. Upon purchase, the books can only be viewed with an internet connection through your account on the Intercambio website. We recommend that access to the digital view books be purchased for teachers. Then, if necessary, use the multiple shipping addresses function on the shop page to directly ship books to students and teachers.
Please NOTE: The Digital View subscription does not provide access to an interactive version of the student book, nor is the student book downloadable. It does provide access to a high-quality image that will work well for screen-sharing purposes and will allow users to zoom in/out.
The subscription automatically renews on a monthly basis, and can be canceled at any time. When you cancel, we will stop charging your account the following billing cycle, so your access will continue for the remainder of the current monthly period.
When subscribing to this product with automatic recurring payment, your credit card will be charged automatically for the renewal amount monthly, and can also be used for other purchases on the account.
Intercambio does not store your credit card number but does store the authorization token to charge the credit cart.
You can remove your credit card from your account at any time via your My Account > Payment Methods Page. Please note: If there is currently a subscription product associated with the credit card you wish to remove from your account, you will need to first turn off automatic renewal for that product (My Account > Orders) before you will be able to remove the credit card.
The monthly subscription includes access to all student books (levels Intro through 5) during your subscription period.
Once you have purchased the subscription, you will log-in to your account by clicking on the “My Account” link at the top of any page on the Intercambio website. If you do not remember your username or password, you will have an opportunity to reset one/both of them on the log-in page.
Once you have logged in, click “Memberships” from the menu that you will see on the left-hand side of the screen.
Then, click “VIEW” next to the Digital View plan you have purchased. You will then see a final link where you will be able to click on “View all Student Books” to view materials.

Product FAQs
We offer a Placement Test that is free to download from our website. This has been designed to place students in the Confidence and Connections levels as accurately as possible. You can view and download our Placement Test from here.
For levels 1-5, we split each level into two books to create shorter completion cycles for students. This proves effective in building confidence and improving retention and completion success rates. Programs can start with either the L or R book within a level and should complete both prior to advancing to the next level in the series.
