Presentation by Gulcin Cribb (University Librarian, Singapore Management University Library) at Information Literacy Seminar in Li Ka Shing Library on July 20, 2012
The document discusses the Illuminating Learners District's focus on getting students and staff "plugged into" learning for the 2010-2011 school year. It envisions students as creators, remixers, collaborators, and owners of their own learning. It also discusses how learners today have greater access to information and opportunities to create and share digital content. Learners are expected to share what they know and collaborate. The document promotes teaching less and learning more, and connecting learners everywhere through various devices and online resources.
E-learning involves using internet technologies to deliver educational content and solutions to enhance knowledge. It allows learning to take place through interactive digital content that can be accessed online from anywhere at any time. While traditional classroom learning will still have a role, e-learning allows for a blended approach with less emphasis on in-person teaching and more emphasis and flexibility for online, on-demand learning. E-learning provides benefits like unlimited and personalized learning paths, access to multimedia and digital libraries, and cost-effective solutions for growing student populations and lack of educational facilities and funding.
- Norman Henshilwood High School transformed its IT infrastructure by installing new technology in every classroom, including interactive whiteboards, projectors, and wireless access, to better engage students and prepare them for the digital world.
- The school partnered with a local IT company to design and implement a sustainable solution within their budget. Teachers can now easily prepare and deliver lessons using the new technology.
- Students are now encouraged to bring their own mobile devices to school to further enhance learning. The school has implemented an acceptable use policy to guide students' responsible use of technology.
Kathleen Schrock will present on strategies for managing information overload on Wednesday at 11:15 AM. Beth Knittle and Christine Spence-Dilley will present on using technology and media in a math resource room to individualize instruction. Donna Criswell will present with colleagues on putting various tools into the hands of elementary students to engage them in active learning.
ICT has significantly impacted society in several ways. Businesses have been transformed by e-commerce, allowing online shopping and reducing costs by eliminating physical stores and stock. Education has also been altered through virtual learning environments that enable continued education at home, save paper, and help share resources, though maintaining websites costs money. Examples of virtual learning tools include VLEs, Moodle, MyMaths, and IFS, which have forever changed the way education is conducted.
The document discusses challenges students face with information literacy and proposes the role of school libraries in addressing these challenges. It summarizes that students are adept at using computers for entertainment but struggle to evaluate online information. While there is an overabundance of information available, students have difficulty finding relevant sources and assessing quality. The document argues that school libraries can help students become effective users of ideas and information by teaching skills for managing and evaluating online resources.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

9. “Books should be available in hard copies rather
than online.”
“Need to get back to proper textbooks.”
“We used to have the books given to us, now, we
have eBooks. I struggle to read things online. I
need paper, so I have to, out of pocket, buy the
books because I can't do it looking at the screen.”
10. “The investment made into providing free
books and digital tablet which contained
all the learning materials for the modules
was very positive...”
11. On average how many hours do you spend using
UEL Samsung tablet for reading e-books?
In September 2014 The University of East London launched its free textbook scheme (providing one core e-textbook per module, using the Kortext platform), alongside the provision of free tablets for new undergraduate students.
I’m going to give a brief overview of the scheme, and discuss both challenges and opportunities
Extra points for anyone recognising popular cultural reference in title
This ambitious programme was viewed as a catalyst for changing learning and teaching practices across the University, as well as enabling students to build digital literacy skills which would enhance both learning and employability. Some other drivers for this scheme were:
As a Response to the logistics of the previous print book scheme – which was not sustainable, flexible or efficient, with high costs of distribution and storage
The Portability of e-books – especially for commuting students, and those who have work and family responsibilities, the tablet was regarded as a useful offline reading device
Perceived value of a single standard tablet offer – it is easier to support a single device and platform, and students were not necessarily expected to have their own equipment, and there was concern about students buying poorer quality devices
Initial feedback was mixed
Research undertaken by John Smiths and the Student Union indicated student preference for the previous print book scheme
Teaching and was learning was slower to change than hoped
Feedback was a challenge to institutional assumptions about students as “digital natives”
Library and Learning Services took an increased role in the scheme for 2016-17 and the current year, managing the free-books scheme and taking responsibility for regular project meetings and communication between stakeholders of both textbook and tablet schemes.
We looked firstly to improve communications with academic staff (both in ensuring titles were selected by them and then communicating the outcome of their choices), in the authorisation process, and in setting timeframes for decisions about moving titles to second choice or print where electronic formats were not available.
In the 2016-17 academic year we distributed 49951 books to 9331 students covering 849 modules
It’s a big project
And the scheme relies on active collaboration across the university
With differing roles in determining eligibility, the selection of titles, the distribution of tablets and e-books, and support
A 2017 survey found 13 percent of our students stated “I usually need someone else to set up or show me how to use a new electronic device”.
Those students who need support are potentially most at risk generally regarding retention and success, so both initial setting up and ongoing support are important
Most (though not all) students (94%) have access to broadband/highspeed internet
From our 2017 survey
90% of students own a smartphone, nearly 80% a laptop, but less than 50% a non-UEL provided tablet and interestingly just over 35% own a PC or Mac computer
I want to talk about both some of the challenges we have experienced as well as the opportunities provided by the current scheme
We need a lot of different data to make this scheme work – data about courses and module leaders, data about books and data about students. And we need to be able to transfer relevant data between different systems
This year we revised processes for marking up eligible modules and transferring data between systems for both selection of titles and distribution of tablets and texts to students.
We completely redid the data processes and scripts from our own systems to overcome some of the problems and glitches that had affected previous years
The outstanding data issue is around ensuring that we have up to date and clear information about the availability of texts – this year we were able to let teaching staff know earlier when a book was easily available - but for titles which were not yet on the Kortext platform we’d like to have better and earlier information in formats we can readily understand and communicate to academic staff
Anyone working on for example reading lists will not be surprised at the challenge of communication and academic engagement
While most staff readily engage and respond, we are aware that timing (over the immediate pre-exam period and exam period itself) is not ideal – and at the same time to launch the scheme earlier causes issues about staff not yet being allocated to modules, and not having had time to review how texts used, but later causes a shorter period to obtain books as well as hitting the “research” period when staff are difficult to keep in touch with.
We want to avoid nagging or chasing staff who are not engaged with the scheme. We’re testing different submission periods and processes and we hope that work promoting some of the features and benefits that the e-book scheme provides will be beneficial and increase engagement.
5.00 While many students are very happy with e-book provision, there remain numbers of students (and staff) who declare a clear preference for print.
There are certainly both advantages and disadvantages of both print and e-format, and I think it all too easy for library staff to be absolute advocates for “e” and for change.
We need to have ongoing and meaningful conversations with staff and students about their experiences with e-resources, be prepared to listen, (and to work with providers and platforms to address the concerns they voice). I want to avoid talking about e-book resistance (though I can be guilty of this myself), and recognise the improvements still needed in experiences with e-formats as well as the digital skills gap we need to consider, among both students and staff.
There are particular issues with Accessibility – though Kortext have made significant and continue to make improvements in this area.
E-books have some accessibility advantages over print but… For some students with disabilities where screen reading is considered an issue we provide print books instead.
It’s not all bad news on the student feedback though
“The investment made into providing free books and digital tablet which contained all the learning materials for the modules was very positive...”
Latest NSS
And Our survey in 2017 showed strong overall usage
Analytics from Kortext show good registration, download and engagement figures – we are unable of course to benchmark these against the use of print books
It would be useful to do some comparison with other universities and this is an area we are considering this year.
Our Analytics show large variations between individual users and between modules – reflecting differences in discipline and in teaching, and between different levels of study
In 2016-17
89.7% of books accessed were used to support study, students read an average of 418 pages (but large variation), upward trend in engagement since start of the scheme across all schools
Moving forward to consider a few highlighted opportunities
Tablets and ebooks can support Changes in learning and teaching, these don’t however happen straight away – it takes time to change and embed different ways of teaching
Ebooks can support flipped classroom and blended learning approaches
And the Use of features such as groups and sharing (notes by lecturers) can create more interactive and directed reading
Kortext analytics provide details about registration, downloads, pages read, times and days used, and which parts of books used. (and more)
While there are ethical concerns and questions about the use of analytics there are some important opportunities:
We have the potential to link Kortext analytics with the UEL learner analytics platform? Look at impact and Support student engagement measure
Analytics can provide data for Understanding the use of core texts and academic reading more generally (which should be supported by more qualitative enquiry)
Analytics reflect that embeddedness in teaching and discipline factors affect use – this is something we will be carrying out some investigation into, talking to areas where there is high use of e-textbooks, and also seeing what strategies impact student reading
We can use analytics to determine which parts of books are most read, which search terms used etc
Currently the scheme allows Custom textbooks to be produced (limited to single publisher) combining content from two or three texts
We are Looking at moving from this more limited approach to the use of Open textbooks
We are carrying out some initial work with OpenStax titles this year as additional supplementary texts, using analytics from the Kortext platform as well as lecturer feedback in this project
So that is by design a very brief overview, but do please talk to be today or contact me to discuss in more depth
