The UOC lent e-books to the library of a women's prison unit to be used by inmates in a book club. Researchers conducted a focus group with 8 inmates who used e-books to read a novel. The inmates had little prior experience with technology. They found the experience of using an e-book negative because it wasn't a physical book. However, they learned how to use the e-reader's features. The inmates said that learning content would be most suitable for e-books and that access to technology could help prevent digital exclusion.

The document discusses several recent developments related to open access and e-books:
1) The World Bank approved a new open access policy for its research outputs allowing public distribution and reuse of its work.
2) A Pew Research Center report examined how the rise of e-books is affecting libraries and their patrons. Librarians believe e-books have been good for libraries and reading in general.
3) Brazil will allow prisoners to have sentences reduced by reading books and writing essays on them.
The document then discusses how the book is being transformed from a simple digital copy to a new networked object, and how this impacts concepts like openness, libraries, readers and knowledge.

This document summarizes research into students' digital literacy practices. Focus groups and student journals showed that digital practices are complex, situated, and involve both human and non-human actors. Literacies occur across multiple domains and are mediated through diverse technologies. Defining digital literacies as skills ignores this complexity. Instead, educators should focus on helping students develop resilience, adaptability, and an orientation toward lifelong learning as technologies change.

The document discusses how libraries are evolving from passive collections of books and information to more interactive community hubs that facilitate learning, creativity, and connection through new technologies. It provides examples of how some libraries are embracing this change by creating spaces for gaming, media labs, and programming around emerging technologies. The author shares their own journey working in libraries and experience helping to establish technology-focused programs and spaces in various libraries.

This document provides an overview of a proposed immersive resource centre and library that combines physical and digital resources. Some key points:
- The centre aims to bring a more innovative and technologically advanced approach to libraries that pushes beyond traditional stacks of books and constrained seating.
- It will utilize immersive technology to create dynamic, user-dependent spaces that allow for different topics to be experienced simultaneously.
- The design aims to balance physical and digital resources by allowing the experience of both reading physical books and storytelling through advanced 3D technology.
- Case studies of innovative library designs both historically and in other countries are examined to understand best practices for the proposed centre.

Matías was an intelligent 15-year-old boy who loved math. One day, on the way to school, his car was hit by another vehicle. Matías suffered a serious head injury and lost his memory and math abilities. After recovering some memory, his mother desperately tried to get him into a private math academy in the US. On Christmas, they found out Matías had been accepted for an interview. Matías was overjoyed at the opportunity.

What Is the Impact of Digitizing Books?, 2013
Marc Prensky is a software designer and author of Teaching Digital Natives: Partnering for Real Learning and
From Digital Natives to Digital Wisdom.
Colleges and universities should ban nonelectronic books to improve the way faculty teach and students
learn. A print textbook ban will not discourage reading, nor diminish the value of the ideas within books.
In fact, e-books liberate ideas. Faculty can augment texts with additional multimedia materials that
enhance the content. Moreover, faculty can expand e-text discussion to students outside the classroom,
enriching the educational experience. Digital texts are also accessible anywhere, at any time, while
printed books, once read, are often closed and shelved. Electronic textbooks free ideas from the printed
page and will move education into the twenty-first century.
Recent news that South Korea plans to digitize its entire elementary- and secondary-school curriculum by 2015,
combined with the declining cost of e-readers and Amazon's announcement earlier this year [2011] that it is
selling more e-books than print books, prompts an interesting question: Which traditional campus will be the first
to go entirely bookless? Not, of course, bookless in the sense of using no book content, but bookless in the
sense of allowing no physical books. My guess is that this will make some institution famous.
Already, just about everything that an undergraduate needs to read is available in electronic form. Whatever isn't
there electronically, librarians, students, or professors can easily scan, as many already do.
Some colleges are already heading in this direction by requiring or handing out iPod Touches, iPads, Kindles, or
Nooks, often preloaded with textbooks and other curricular materials, or by disallowing paper texts for online
courses. But I suggest that it's time to go much further: to actually ban nonelectronic books on campus. That
would be a symbolic step toward a much better way of teaching and learning, in which all materials are fully
integrated. It could involve a pledge similar to the one that language students and instructors at Middlebury
Language Schools take to speak only the foreign languages in which they are immersed during the study
program.
I'm not advocating that we get rid of the good and valuable ideas, thoughts, or words in books—only that
we transfer them to (and have students absorb them through) another form.
In this bookless college, all reading—which would still, of course, be both required and encouraged—would be
done electronically. Any physical books in students' possession at the beginning of the year would be exchanged
for electronic versions, and if a student was later found with a physical book, it would be confiscated (in return for
an electronic version). The physical books would be sent to places and institutions that wanted or needed them.
Professors would have a limited time in which to convert their personal .

This document contains the presentation slides for Kathleen Johnson's talk on innovations in school librarianship. The presentation discusses 7 areas of innovation: physical and virtual library spaces, the librarian's role as a learning specialist, transliteracy skills, embedded librarianship models, new opportunities for professional development, R. David Lankes' concept of a new librarianship focused on knowledge and learning, and developing personal learning environments centered on each student. The presentation provides examples and resources to illustrate changes in how libraries and librarians can better support student learning in the digital age.
Imagination & Digitisation
This document discusses the future of books and libraries in a digital age. It defines what a book, library, and reading may look like as print transitions to digital formats. Some of the key points made are that both print and digital formats will be needed; libraries will continue to be important spaces for imagination and accessing culture; and new forms of creative reading and writing are emerging online through blogs, fanfiction, and digital literature.
Expanding the Concept of Library
How have libraries responded to the enormous change of the last 15 years? Join the confersation as Kathleen Johnson embarks on an exploration of this question, examing innovative and interesting ideas including the Library of Things, the Learning Commons, the evolving library role in learning, the socially networked library and more.
Relevance of libraries in the future
The document summarizes a panel discussion on the relevance of libraries in the future. Key points include:
- Literacy is more important than ever with the rise of digital information, and libraries play a key role in developing literacy and global citizens who can read, comprehend, and communicate effectively.
- However, libraries around the world are facing budget cuts that threaten to "close the gates that should be open" and deny people access to information.
- Studies show that youth literacy rates are declining in many countries, jeopardizing future generations' ability to engage with information. Maintaining access to libraries is crucial for supporting literacy.

eReading talk SJSU 2012 01
Tom Peters gave a talk on the future of reading and ebooks. He discussed how ebooks, eReaders, and mobile devices are revolutionizing reading. This revolution presents both opportunities and risks for libraries. Peters outlined many changes happening in publishing, bookselling, and how readers find and consume content. He argued that libraries must experiment with new services and devices to support digital reading, work to protect library lending models, and align with readers and authors in this changing environment.
Electronic Literature - Honors Project Narrative (Final Draft)
This document discusses plans to introduce a course on electronic literature at the University of Louisiana at Monroe. It argues that electronic literature should be taught as literature in the English department, as the focus will be analyzing digital works that use language as the primary medium through literary criticism. The document explores what constitutes electronic literature and what works could be included, such as hypertext narratives and adventure games. It aims to prove electronic literature is worthy of literary study by examining works through a literary lens, rather than making assumptions based on the medium. The course will analyze examples of electronic literature without focusing on coding skills.

This document summarizes the discussions and presentations from the 33rd Annual Charleston Conference addressing faculty fears about e-books. It outlines fears such as libraries no longer purchasing print or e-books being inferior. It then details strategies used by libraries to address these fears, such as loading many e-book records without paying and only purchasing titles after a certain amount of use. Departments that were initially resistant, such as classics and social sciences, became more accepting of e-books after individual meetings. While print is still preferred for some uses, e-books are gaining acceptance, especially among younger faculty and for student and international use.My uoc mobil

The document discusses recommendations for designing a mobile learning environment based on student perceptions from a case study at Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC). The case study found that (1) students primarily use laptops and desktops for schoolwork and smartphones less frequently, (2) UOC's existing mobile offerings had little awareness but met some needs, and (3) students preferred a single, comprehensive native app over separate mobile apps. The recommendations are to develop a single native app that provides the most relevant services and functions, is user-driven, and offers document management, messaging, and a positive student experience.More Related Content

The document describes a study using the personas method to understand the experiences of visually impaired students in an online learning environment. The study identified two personas, Anna and Carles, who represent typical visually impaired students. Anna and Carles face difficulties with inaccessible content like PDFs and videos, which affects their ability to complete coursework. The personas highlight specific problems each student faces and potential solutions, such as providing content in multiple formats and training for course designers. The study aims to provide insight into the needs of visually impaired students to help make online education more inclusive.Estudiantes con discapacidad visual en la uoc y elearning: recomendaciones

The document discusses a project called iUOC that aims to enable students and teachers at Universitat Oberta de Catalunya to access learning contents and alerts from their virtual learning environment on mobile devices like the iPad tablet. It describes how an iUOC app was developed to allow users to access materials from the virtual environment via the iPad. A pilot program distributed iPads to test the app, and user feedback was positive about the app and iPad as a communication and learning tool. However, the iPad was not deemed suitable for content creation. The document concludes that while the iUOC project provides mobile access to course content, interactive apps specific to subject areas could further enhance the mobile learning experience.Mobile learning scenarios from a UCD perspective.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
