Using Pressbooks for Open-Access (and Accessible) Book Publishing: An Effect...Shalin Hai-Jew
With the unexpected economic downturn following the disease outbreak from the novel coronavirus pandemic, many companies had to reposition themselves for survival. In this context, the publisher cancelled a contract with an editor, whose book was in its final stages just before typography; that work included some works of mine. I looked to publishing with New Prairie Press, an open-access publisher at Kansas State University, to protect the invested efforts. This presentation describes how the Pressbooks platform was used to redesign the print book to an electronic one for more effective usage and learning based on Pressbook features. The draft text is available for download here at https://kstatelibraries.pressbooks.pub/socialworldsensing/.

Week 3 - News Story
Seeing is Believing
While we can easily become engaged in a print news story that is well-written and tailored for a specific audience, the ability of television to “show us” the news is something that has given it the edge over print news media for decades. Traditional radio also provides us with the “storytelling” aspect where we may find ourselves sitting in the car hanging on to every word of a great news story. This week, you will write a broadcast script for a television news story and for a radio news story. The television script and the radio script will both be designed for the delivery of a story that is 5 minutes in length.
Topic and Sources of Information:
The issue that you choose to write about must be current and have some relevance for your local community, city, and/or state. You must derive the information for this story from
print media only
. You will need to read several print publications for mention of the story and take notes of the facts of the story from several national publications.
For this assignment you must:
Adhere to the
Broadcast Script Template
Summarize facts and/or statistics that are relevant to the story
Develop the story for the local audience
Compare two opposing opinions about the topic
Provide proper attribution for all sources of information included (facts, statistics, images/video, and opinions).
Incorporate at least three visual elements to enhance the television story
Incorporate at least three indirect quotes (citing other sources) to enhance the radio story
A list of each of the sources must be included using the
Media News Source Template
Saving Your Work:
To maintain the formatting of your work, you are strongly encouraged to save your assignment as a PDF file. View

The DITA standard, now nearly 20 years old, wasn't created whole, but instead was built on foundational work by Robert Horn, Dr. Edmond Weiss, writers at IBM, and others. Before DITA codified information types, writers were creating structured information without tool support.
Steve Jong, who learned and passed along structured writing techniques in the 1980s, talks about the origins of the theory and the fundamental skill that preceded DITA but is still required today: information typing in the writer’s mind.

Essay # 1 Prompt
For this first essay, you will be thinking critically about two of the stories from Drown. If it helps, you can think of this assignment as a compare and contrast paper. Take two of the stories that are interesting to you and explain why they are interesting. Consider using this template for a thesis idea:
(statement) because (analysis)
to help shape your paper. Also, be cognizant of the themes from the stories. It is highly recommended that you address similarities and differences in the themes of the two stories you write about. Themes may include, but are not limited to: diaspora, sexuality, "othering," silencing, persona, addiction, abuse, and so on.
You must choose one story from Group A to write about and one story from Group B to write about:
Group A: "Negocios" / "Drown"
Group B: "Fiesta, 1980" / "Aguantando" / "Edison, New Jersey" / "Aurora"
Your paper must exhibit critical analysis that shies away from depending on summary. Use evidence from the stories to substantiate your argument, but do not focus on summarizing the plot of the stories.

Week 3 - News Story
Seeing is Believing
While we can easily become engaged in a print news story that is well-written and tailored for a specific audience, the ability of television to “show us” the news is something that has given it the edge over print news media for decades. Traditional radio also provides us with the “storytelling” aspect where we may find ourselves sitting in the car hanging on to every word of a great news story. This week, you will write a broadcast script for a television news story and for a radio news story. The television script and the radio script will both be designed for the delivery of a story that is 5 minutes in length.
Topic and Sources of Information:
The issue that you choose to write about must be current and have some relevance for your local community, city, and/or state. You must derive the information for this story from
print media only
. You will need to read several print publications for mention of the story and take notes of the facts of the story from several national publications.
For this assignment you must:
Adhere to the
Broadcast Script Template
Summarize facts and/or statistics that are relevant to the story
Develop the story for the local audience
Compare two opposing opinions about the topic
Provide proper attribution for all sources of information included (facts, statistics, images/video, and opinions).
Incorporate at least three visual elements to enhance the television story
Incorporate at least three indirect quotes (citing other sources) to enhance the radio story
A list of each of the sources must be included using the
Media News Source Template
Saving Your Work:
To maintain the formatting of your work, you are strongly encouraged to save your assignment as a PDF file. View

The DITA standard, now nearly 20 years old, wasn't created whole, but instead was built on foundational work by Robert Horn, Dr. Edmond Weiss, writers at IBM, and others. Before DITA codified information types, writers were creating structured information without tool support.
Steve Jong, who learned and passed along structured writing techniques in the 1980s, talks about the origins of the theory and the fundamental skill that preceded DITA but is still required today: information typing in the writer’s mind.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

3. Definition of the
Type of Infographic You Will Create
3
You will need to create a Mixed Chart type of infographic.
• This type of infographic tells a data story by visualizing statistical
data in a mix of charts, visualized numbers, and isotypes
(pictographs or pictograms).
• You will need at least three different charts (bar, pie, column,
line, or scatter plot), plus one isotype and one visualized
number.
Note this requirement: Do not use visuals of graphs, charts, or
isotype (pictographs/pictogram) from sources in your infographic.
All graphs, charts, and isotypes must be created by you. You may,
of course, use the features in free infographic creators to create
these visuals.
5. Decide the
Target Audience and Purpose
Your audience should be non-specialized (i.e. a lay
audience), but you will need to narrow the focus to target
a specific lay audience.
For example, if you chose parents of a child recently
diagnosed with autism as your audience, your infographic
purpose could be to educate by presenting statistical facts
about autism.
Identify your infographic's purpose with a verb.
• to Persuade?
• to Educate?
• to Inform?
5
6. Decide the Topic and
Write Working Thesis
6
• Consider telling a data story on a topic that is in
your field of study. But, you may choose any topic
as long as it is not a trivial subject.
• Just as in writing a paper, your topic needs to be
developed into a working thesis (one you may
decide to change later). For now, answer this
question:
• What is the thesis (main point) you plan to
support with the data you will visualize?
7. 7
A clear thesis will help you
govern how you focus the
layout of your data.
Notice how multiple sets of
data are visualized around a
single thesis in this infographic:
The Current State of Backup
for Mac Users.
8. Avoid a thesis that is politicizing or
sensationalizing a data story.
8
9. Find Statistical Data
9
• Explore the open-source databases and links to other
statistical sites on the project page.
10. Identify the Data Story
Once you have decided your topic, audience, purpose,
thesis, and found statistical data, you will need to analyze it
to identify what aspects of the data will best support the
story you want to tell.
To do that, it’s best to gather the data into one place such
as cutting and pasting into a word file or downloading into
an Excel spread sheet.
• Look for changes over time.
• Differences or similarities between items.
• Identify parts of a whole.
• Identify the relationship between two or more variables.
10
11. Focus Your Data Story
Just as when writing a paper, you must decide how much
content you will need to support your thesis.
Focus on identifying key points from the data that you want
to present visually in your story to support your thesis.
Work recursively. This means, that although you have
already made some decisions, allow yourself room to make
adjustments as you process the data and focus the story.
11
12. Create the
Textual Outline
12
You will need to write some copy (i.e. text) for your
infographic.
Writing a textual outline before you begin designing
the infographic will help you consider what data that
you have gathered will be best for the required mix
of different charts; the isotype; and visualized
visualized number.
A textual outline conveys the main ideas and
supporting points but does so with a minimal amount
of text.
13. What to include in your textual outline
Write a Title that conveys your infographic's topic.
Example:
Title: The Rising Cost of Health Care
13
14. Write an Introduction
The introduction should state your thesis in 1 or 2
lines. Work on composing engaging copy.
Example:
Title: The Rising Cost of Health Care (topic)
Introduction: Your Health Care May be Eating Up More
of Your Wallet Than You Think (thesis)
14
15. What to include in the body of the outline.
Body. Write the supporting points that will serve as
titles for the data you will visualize. Again, keep text
to a minimum.
Example:
Title: The Rising Cost of Health Care (topic)
Introduction: Your Health Care Bills Are Eating Up More of
Your Wallet Than You Think (thesis)
• Supporting Point 1: 41% of Adults in America Had Trouble
Finding the Care They Needed Because of Costs
Repeat for all supporting points.
15
16. What to include for a conclusion.
The layout of your infographic may lead to an
implied conclusion or you may need to state it
explicitly.
If you state your conclusion, write it as a single line
of text at the end of the infographic.
16
17. What to include about sources.
Cite the source(s) of your statistical data. The URL address and
title of site is sufficient. Example:
• healthcare.gov; Commonwealth Fund for Studying Health
System Changes
If you used icons from a free website, cite the source based
on how the site asks you to credit the author for free icons.
17
Example: when you
download an icon from
Flaticon, you are prompted
to copy the citation.
18. 18
Example of a Complete Textual Outline
Title: The Rising Cost of Health Care (Topic)
Introduction: (Thesis)
Your Health Care Bills Are Eating Up More of Your Wallet Than You Think
Supporting Point 1: 41% of Adults in America Had Trouble Finding the Care They
Needed Because of Costs
Supporting Point 2: 60% of Personal Bankruptcies are Linked to Medical Bills
Supporting Point 3: Healthcare Increased Nearly 1.5 faster than wages between 1989
and 2011.
Supporting Point 4: Out-of-Pocket Costs are Increasing for All Americans. Adults with
incomes
• $22K or below spent 21% in 2001, 26% in 2005, and 50% in 2010
• $22K to $44K spent 38% in 2001, 26% in 2005, and 41%in 2010
• above $44K spent 16% in 2001, 21% in 2005, and 23%in 2010
Supporting Point 5: In 2011, the average family in the US will spend more than $15K
for healthcare coverage.
• This is the price of a Ford Fiesta.
Conclusion. Do you know how much you spent on healthcare last year?

19. Create a Wireframe
19
A wire frame is another name for a sketch of your
infographic. At a minimum, your wireframe needs to include
the following:
1. Three Different Charts visualizing different data appropriate to
the type of chart (column, bar, pie, line graph, etc.)
2. One Visualized Number
3. One Isotype, remember to
include a legend depicting
the number each icon represents
or an x out of y number statement.
You may use more than one of each type in your infographic.
20. The Easiest Way for a Beginner to Create
a Wireframe is to Draw it By Hand.
20
As you draw, note where you are
applying the design principles
explained in slidedoc 1. It may be
useful to have that slidedoc open as
you sketch.
Take a photo of your wireframe with
your smart phone or scan it to submit
with your finished deliverables.
The file size of a phone photo or a
scan will be huge, so compress the
file using smallpdf.com. It's free, easy
to use, and you don't even need to
create an account.
21. Include the Following in your Wireframe
21
• Placement of titles, subtitles, and introduction,
• Placement of visualized numbers,
• Rough sketches of the charts you will create,
• Rough sketches of the icons in the isotype (pictograph,
pictogram) you will create.
Note this requirement: no source visuals may be used to
create the infographic except for icons.
23. Decide the Isotype
• Isotype (International System Of Typographic Picture
Education) is a symbolic way of representing quantitative
information via easily interpretable icons.
• More modern terminology refers to these types of
representations as pictograms or pictographs.
• Your infographic will need to include one isotype graphic.
See options for how to create isotypes under Tools and Resources.
23
24. Example of an Isotype (Pictogram):
24
Isotypes require a
legend to show
viewers what each
figure represents.
If using less than 10
figures, an X out of Y
statement can be
used.
26. 26
An example of a
pictograph that doesn’t
work.
Except for putting icons
of cameras in the
columns, the data isn’t
being visualized in a way
that would be easier to
understand than a
standard column chart.
Notice also how the lack
of labels on the x and y
axis makes the chart
impossible to follow.
27. Be Accurate
In this infographic, 4 stick people
represent 43,406 nurses in
2010/11 and 32 stick people are
used to represent 46,573 nurses in
2011/12.
The difference in the actual
numbers is a 7% increase.
But the difference between the
stick people is a 700% increase.
The isotype is visually So, the
infographic is misrepresenting
the data.
27
28. Decide What Number(s) You Will Visualize
28
Visualize at least one of the
numbers, but you may want
to emphasize more than one.
NOTE: this example is
provided just to show you
how numbers can be
visualized, but it is not
meeting the three chart
requirement.
29. Decide How You Will Create the
Infographic.
• Use a Free Infographic Creator Tool. See a list of these under
tools and resources on the project page. Canva and Visme
are popular tools.
• Use Word or a single slide in PowerPoint. You will need to
adjust the page size.
• Use Microsoft Publisher. PC users will have access to this
software, but it is not available for Mac users.
• If you are familiar with using more sophisticated graphic
design tools such as Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator, Gimp,
etc., feel free to use whatever works best for you.
See Tools and Resources for more information about these options.
29
30. About Using Templates
You may use a template as a
model or a basic starting point for
your infographic.
Change icons, colors, fonts etc. to
reflect YOUR ability to use graphic
design principles.
And in your screencast design
justification, you must clarify which
parts of the template you changed
as well as discuss how the template
reflects principles of effective
graphic design.
30
31. 31
An infographic template that can be
customized by just plugging in the data
is not acceptable, and will be
considered a form of plagiarism if used
for this project.
32. Submitting Your Infographic
You may submit your infographic to bblearn
an image file (jpeg, png etc.),
a document file (Word, PPT, PPX, PDF).
or
the URL to where your file is hosted if you created it in a free
infographic creator.
• NOTE: if you create your infographic using Publisher,
please save and submit it as a PDF because I use a Mac
and cannot view Publisher files.
32
