This document summarizes Mathieu Plourde's research on student adoption and perception of e-textbooks. It outlines Plourde's research questions on what factors are important for student academic success and how open UD undergraduate students are to e-textbooks. It also describes Plourde's survey instrument and design, which was informed by previous research and aimed to assess student textbook usage, format preferences, and conditions under which they would switch to digital textbooks. The document concludes by noting challenges with the survey and opportunities for further exploration.

Keynote at the 2013 FITSI Conference (University of New Hampshire).
Summary: We live in opportune times. We live at a time when education features prominently in the national press and discussions focusing on improving the ways we design education are a daily occurrence. Stanford President John Hennessy notes that “a tsunami” is coming – and Pearson executives are calling the impending change an “avalanche.” We are told that “education is broken” and that technology provides appropriate solutions for the perils facing education. But, what do these solutions look like? Will these be the times that capture Dewey’s and Freire’s visions of education? Will these be times of empowered students, democratic educational systems, learning webs, and affordable access to education? Or, will these be the times where efficiency, venture capital, and market values dictate what education will look like? Is technology transforming education? If so, how? During this keynote presentation, I will highlight how learning and education are (and are not) changing with the emergence of certain technologies, social behaviors, and cultural expectations. Using empirical research and evidence I will discuss myths and truths pertaining to online education and present ways that faculty members and educators can make meaningful contributions to the future educational systems that we are creating today.
A presentation for the RRU Faculty of Social and Applied Sciences, delineating the contextual nature of emerging technologies, and describing some of sociotechnical approaches adopted in designing our education programs (with examples).

I recently had the pleasure of presenting at a Pearson conference on e-books about the opportunities and challenges this emergent technology represents.
This presentation covers seven key areas.
1. A little context
2. Caution - emergent technology
3. What are e-books anyway?
4. pro’s & con’s (according to the evidence)
5. e-book features
6. Teaching and learning (new pedagogies)
7. What can you do?
8. What does the future hold for e-books?

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.

10. Research question
College students own many computer devices, most notably
laptops, tablets, and smartphones. I would like to investigate the
following:
perception - Plourde - May 2012
E-book and e-textbook adoption and
1) What dimensions of textbook usage and form are critical to UD
undergraduate students' academic success?
2) Considering these dimensions, to what degree do UD
undergraduate students think e-textbooks are a valid alternative
to paper textbooks?
3) At what price point and ownership condition (full ownership of
the file, protected file, digital rental) would UD undergraduate 10
students consider switching to digital textbooks?
11. Survey instrument
• Potentially 83 answers required.
• Built on dimensions found in my annotated
perception - Plourde - May 2012
E-book and e-textbook adoption and
bibliography and personal experience.
• Mostly multiple choice, Likert scale.
• Three open questions.
• Tried to mimic questions and style of the 2012

• Developed on Qualtrics. 11

• Completion rate less than half of what I would
have needed to get a representative sample at
a 95% level, despite a $25 gift certificate

20. More to explore…
• The end of the textbook as a format?
• Smaller chunks.
perception - Plourde - May 2012

• Access to primary content.
• Impact of multimedia?
• Open educational resources and open
textbooks as drivers for affordability.
