This document discusses the history and future of ebooks and self-publishing. It outlines the development of ebook readers like the Kindle and Nook. It also discusses the rise of apps and app stores, noting that 90% of app downloads in 2010 came from the Apple App Store. The lines between books, ebooks, and apps are blurring as services now allow self-publishing of ebook-like works as apps or vice versa.

Keynote Speaker: Kumar Garg, Senior Advisor, Office of Science and Technology Policy, The White House
This is an introduction presentation on accessible ePub3 and how this format is slowly making a huge impact in shaping the publishing and education sector through accessibility.
This presentation was provided by George Kershcer of The DAISY Consortium, Jon R. Gunderson of The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Alicia Wise of Elsevier, during the NISO Webinar "Unprecedented Access: Improving the User Experience for People with Print Disabilities" which was held on December 8, 2010.
ASLA XXIII Biennial Conference - Dr Jill Abell - Print books are bouncing back with the new bookshop experiences whilst school libraries are using a host of diverse e-commerce models, e-platforms and devices in their efforts to offer digital texts to support new curriculum. The common goal is to adopt e-books to encourage reading, or create e-texts as a replacement for costly and heavy printed texts, to secure backlisted fiction, and to maintain curriculum-focussed non-fiction and multiple copies with manageable digital rights and licensing for class use. In this workshop, participants will examine the “wicked problems” and change focus to find solutions.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

8. Where Are We Going?
• The prices of various eReaders are on a downward curve,
ensuring that a significant number of consumers will be able
to afford these devices in the near future.
• eReaders encourage paperless reading, thereby curbing the
need to cut down trees for making paper. This way, it can be
argued, the devices help in the preservation of forests and our
environment through the non-use of ink etc. The eco-friendly
nature of eReaders will be a key driver in their future growth.
• Government backing of eReaders, particularly in education,
will add significant push to their popularity. Former Governor
Schwarzenegger’s decision to put all Californian text books
online was simply the first move of many in this sector.

12. Blurring Lines…..
• What is a “book” anyways?
• In February, Borders teamed up with a service called
Bookbrewer.
– provide a simple service that allows bloggers or anyone else
with an idea to publish what is effectively an e-book and get it
distributed through all the major e-book platforms.
– Service allows writers to upload their content — which can
be any length — set their own suggested price (within the
boundaries set by such e-book retailers as Amazon, Apple, and
Borders itself), then publish an e-book in the open ePub
format that can be downloaded for the iPad, the Kindle, the
Kobo, or any other e-reader.
– Service has two tiers. One costs $89.99 and gives authors an
ISBN, the universal book-tracking number used in the
publishing industry. The advanced, $199.99 package also gives
authors a master ePub file they can share or upload wherever
they wish.
13. Blurring Lines….. continued
• In a similar move, Amazon last year launched its Kindle
Singles program, which is also designed for publishing less-
than-book-length writing online.
– designed for pieces between 10,000 and 30,000 words—or
between 30 and 90 printed pages (about twice the length of an
article in The New Yorker or several chapters of a book).
– The company Is looking for submissions from outside the
traditional publishing industry, including from —serious writers,
thinkers, scientists, business leaders, historians, politicians, and
publishers."
– IIf you have an Amazon account, you can publish a book. See
Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing page.

41. EPub Files
• The ePub format is an open standard used in
many different devices to display books,
newspapers and magazines. This format, unlike
PDFs, is designed to flow; that is, content is not
laid out on set pages with a set layout. Instead,
pages are created by the device dynamically.
This is what allows e-readers to change things
like font size on the go.
42. EPub Files
Devices that use ePub files include:
• The iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, via iBooks.
• Android devices, via FBreader
• The Nook
