The presenters, Nori Barajas-Murphy and Erin Gratz, will share an eAuthoring model that pairs instructional designers and librarians with faculty subject matter experts to create professionally designed, innovative course materials. Participate in the discussion on how innovative eAuthored content minimizes student costs and promotes student engagement and learning.
2. “Does custom publishing work to improve
attitude* and learning outcomes?”
*Attitude= interest, appreciation of a discipline
-Romine and Banerjee 2013
3. AGENDA
• Define eAuthoring taxonomy
• Identify benefits of collaboration
between instructional designers,
librarians, and faculty in design
and publication
• Analyze cost savings to students
• Review data of student learning
using eAuthored content versus
traditional textbooks

27. A Pause for Reflection
1. Consider what has been presented so
far
2. Individually, make 3 bullet points of
ways to increase the use of eAuthored
content at La Verne
3. At your table, share favorite bullet point
4. Text your favorite after your discussion
to the polleverywhere thread
29. “Reinforcing these findings, students in the baseline
study who found their instructors’ annotations,
highlights, and added e-text materials useful or whose
instructors encouraged use of the e-textbooks were:
● significantly more likely to report that the e-
textbooks helped them better understand the
course ideas and concepts,
● allowed them to better organize and structure
their learning, increased their engagement with
course content,
● and made their study time more efficient.”
Grajek 2013
33. “Three factors have held back instructors’ ability and
willingness to publish custom materials.
The first is the lack of technology;
the second is rethinking of the economic model related
to publishing and technological issues dealing with
security, copyright, and patenting;
and the third is the numerous erroneous assumptions
and myths among instructors that accompany the idea
of customization.”
- Romine (2012)

we created structure (because that's what we do) and borrowed from science the idea of a hierarchy that increases in complexity, engagement, and software reliance

28% = overall consumer price increase
89% = increase of tuition and fees
51% = a cool number
course materials may also be limited given their uniqueness to a particular course on a particular campus.
In 2005, based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, we reported that new college textbook prices had risen at twice the rate of annual inflation over the course of nearly two decades, increasing at an average of 6 percent per year and following close behind increases in tuition and fees.8
More recent data show that textbook prices continued to rise from
2002 to 2012 at an average of 6 percent per year, while tuition and fees increased at an average of 7 percent and overall prices increased at an average of 2 percent per year. As reflected in figure 1 below, new textbook prices increased by a total of 82 percent over this time period, while tuition and fees increased by 89 percent and overall consumer prices grew by 28 percent.
One campus bookstore reported that its students saved more than $150 per semester, on average, after it introduced textbook rental and digital book programs.

The body of research around etexts is growing yet still incomplete
We know that most learners prefer print text over digital
Yet, next slide…
Nori
The single most significant factor influencing a student’s perception about learning in a digital format is instructor modeling
Nori
Nori
highlighting, commenting, bookmarking are common. and many of these will produce a way to study/study features.
when modeled, students report they are more likely to understand how best to use them.

is lacking. mostly anecdotle through faculty’s perception of student learning. needs further study.
