Looking at the future of school libraries - what will they look like, what will the role of teacher librarians be, how will this fit with the learning models in schools?
Designing for Education: an iPad Case StudyUXPA Boston
Tablet technology is widely touted as the next wave in education. Last year, many school districts shelled out hundreds of thousands of dollars for the new technology. With hundreds of educational-focused applications available in the iTunes or Google Play stores, one may assume that these applications are superior to the traditional methods. Educators cite the engaging and motivational benefits of the iPad and other technologies in student learning. With this question in mind, a team of researchers at Bentley University compared the engagement benefits from traditional paper-based books and a tablet interactive text application “Inkling.” Participants explored this new interactive textbook – Inkling – and the same content in a traditional paper textbook. The case study explored the pros and cons in moving beyond traditional education methods. For our research, we worked with higher education students who owned and used an iPad regularly. We gauged their emotional engagement in the education activities – or ‘homework’ assignments – throughout the sessions. We obtained their emotional engagement data by combining SMI’s eye-tracking technology with Affectiva’s Q-Sensor galvanic system measurement gloves and Microsoft Product Reaction cards. Using this technology, we were able to pinpoint the moments in which students had an emotion response (engagement) with the tasks. At the end of each session, we discussed the qualitative aspects of the interactions, including participants’ expectations and experiences using the iPad and traditional paper textbook to complete the tasks. Our hypothesis was that the iPad interactive reading technology would be more engaging to students and consequently be a better tool to aid their education. In our presentation at the UPA Boston Conference, we will present the sometimes contradictory findings from our case study. We will make recommendations based on these findings for designers – for both traditional textbooks and digital textbooks to keep in mind. We will also explore several open questions our field must tackle as we continue to migrate educational materials to digital forms.

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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
