1) Ebook readers like the Kindle and tablet devices like the iPad are becoming increasingly popular. While ebooks make up a growing portion of book sales on Amazon, adoption in higher education has been slow.
2) Ebooks offer benefits like accessibility, interactivity, and integration into course curriculums for both students and instructors. However, roadblocks include high costs compared to print, non-standard file formats, and a lack of cultural acceptance among instructors, students, and institutions.
3) For ebooks to be widely adopted in higher education, these technological and cultural challenges must be addressed through reduced costs, open standards, and active support from all stakeholders in the education system.
This TBLC-sponsored webinar was presented by Al Carlson and Chad Mairn on 5/26/2010.
It can be argued that reading habits have changed since electronic publications have become more prevalent in our growing digital world; however, library staff should remain focused and become informed advocates for their readers no matter what, why, and where they choose to read. Join Al Carlson and Chad Mairn as they discuss the intricacies of electronic publication formats and reading devices in order to help make everything involved in electronic reading more comprehensible to library staff, so that they can focus their efforts on their patrons’ reading and to not get stuck on the format or device where the reading takes place. They’ll help you figure out the relative strengths and weaknesses of today’s crop of e-reading devices and look ahead to what you’ll see within five years. Al and Chad don’t have all the answers, but they’ll help you start asking the right questions. Some examples: What should the library user who loves to read buy now? A Nook? An iPad? Something else?
Why should libraries provide e-reading opportunities? How should libraries provide e-reading opportunities without over-committing to technology that may turn out to be the equivalent of the BetaMax tape? What happens when advancing technology makes every gadget we own a potential e-reader? How do libraries deal with an enormous materials collection that can be accessed from anywhere but fits on a flash drive?

The document describes an initiative called the Marchathon where students can earn academic credit for promoting a #stepchallenge on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. To participate, students must register by creating a team of 3-6 people, set up a profile, and join challenges to track their daily step progress. Participants can earn marks by engaging with social media posts about the challenge that cite a specific hashtag and program. They also must complete collaborative tasks on the project management platform Trello.
I don't have information about Spreaker. The document appears to be about using enhanced podcasts and audio tools like Spreaker for teaching and learning.
Twitter's blocking capabilities take several days to fully prevent a blocked user from seeing another user's timeline or searching for their profile. Even after being blocked, a user may still be able to find the blocking user through Twitter lists or external tools for a few days. If someone feels threatened on a social network, they should consider making their account private or protected.
OneNote is described as an online, cloud-based notebook service that is simple to use, robust, and can be used on desktop and mobile devices. The document discusses how a teacher used OneNote with 147 students across 9 modules and found it helped with collaborative teaching and learning, organizing notes and materials, sharing content, and assessing student work. Key benefits identified include being able to find information faster, see live student work, provide feedback, and view curated reading materials. A few issues are noted, such as it not working well with weak internet connections, and potential conflicts when syncing pages across devices.
The document discusses how sharing rich content across a wide area through social networks can attract more people and sustain educational initiatives. It notes that a music group attracted 50% more concertgoers by sharing content online and that students shared their work to attract candidates to an honors degree program. It suggests sharing ideas to sustain education programs through the information sharing economy.
This document discusses several philosophies and frameworks for understanding reality, including nominalism. Nominalism holds that only particular objects exist in the world and general ideas are merely names without real existence. The document explores how nominalism can provide scaffolding to support understanding of metaphysical questions about reality. It also discusses how a nominalist view that denies universal concepts like "humanity" could contribute to greater inhumanity in war by viewing people as merely particular objects. Overall, the document examines nominalism and other terms as lenses for framing our understanding of reality and real-world objects and experiences.
The document discusses innovation projects at the Limerick Institute of Technology in Clonmel, County Tipperary, Ireland. Students research startup ideas and create media releases, with ideas coming from potential interns and releases made by other students. The collaborative process includes coffee chats leading to good ideas, exploring the Tipperary brand through heritage, sport, food and news, and designing a media hub for a new incubator in Tipperary.

A brief survey view of the six-month experiment at the Limerick Institute of Technology. I’ve used the technology described in this slide deck. I expect to revise some of the tools before the next running of the e-publishing module in January 2013. Most of the revision will evolve by following https://plus.google.com/#s/e-publishing
Bernie Goldbach’s first-hand experience with e-publishing at third level in the Limerick Institute of Technology, shared at the Dublin Institute of Technology’s e-learning summer school (#elss12), June 20, 2012.
We started with years of old PPT files and converted them to epub and mobi files. Along the way, we met Scrivener.
If you are serious about increasing the efficiency of your epublishing workflow, you need Scrivener from Literature and Latte.
calibre - ebook .com gives me a one stop solution for most of my e-book needs. I use it primarily to harvest content supported by RSS feeds. If you have a blog, you can use Calibre to produce clever learning material via RSS.
This is an expensive program that my college has under license. It’s powerful and it cleans up old PDFs well. Adobe® Acrobat® X Pro software lets you deliver highly professional PDF communications. I use this fully-featured program to create and edit PDF files with rich media. I need Acrobat Pro to ensure I can secure docs as well as to open secure docs. A big plus: PDFs can be used to gather student and team feedback very efficiently within the PDF itself.
Elements cost me EUR 80 a few years ago.
We used Kindlegen to ensure total compatibility with Amazon Store policies. Download Kindlegen after reading T&Cs: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000234621
I spent $3.99 with www. ebookmagicapp .com and got a fun and easy custom book maker for our iPad. It allowed me to easily create iBooks just with the iPad. It exports files as PDF for widespread use and as and ePub for iOS.
Simplenote for iOS is a powerful and elegantly wonderful piece of glue. Reader John Tierney uses Andronoter on his Galaxy II to sync to Simplenote and he uses Syncpad on Chrome. In some apps, you can share notes with specific people by tagging the note with their name. Start here: http://www.simplenoteapp.com
The lecture halls are filled with touchscreen devices.
Students value words on paper. They read longer with crisp fonts on screen and stay with content they can swipe or tap or pinch. We continue to survey students about their opinion of “handouts” and I have to convince new students that a digital PPT is a “handout”. I want to break the assumption that all learning material needs to be printed on dead trees.
My motivation is driven by keystrokes already registered. I have a lot of product in my digital stash.
This meant pulling everything into one portable terabyte and backing that up with Crashplan.
I keep projects in portable terabyte containers. Lately, I need a strong power source to power the newer USB 3.0 terabyte drives. The USB ports on computers must be putting out clean 5V power.
Synchronicity with colleagues will extend your practise. If you’re on a Mac, you’ll love Scrivener’s tie-in with Dropbox. http://www.dropbox.com
You can access Crashplan from any touchscreen. This means you can see you work in progress on your iPhone or Android handset. http://www.crashplan.com/
I also use ReadNotify.com for tracking docs I send and Adobe’s built-in mail service facility for tracking the delivery and opening of PDFs related to essential study materials in the courses I teach. Besides Blurb, Smashwords and Lulu are at the top of the my list of preferred channels for e-publishing material I create.
We have become digital consumers. As third level educators, we are digital curators.
All Word files are not created the same. Expect post-processing issues with metadata inside the Word docs.
A book makes the best-seller list in Ireland when achieving 40,000 sales. It would be straightforward to shift an essential epub to 40,000 college students in Ireland.
Research by nxtbook media.
Pinboard.in is an elegant link-sharing system. I religiously pin things to http://pinboard.in/u:topgold/t:eprdctn. I’m also on http://delicious.com/topgold where I’m making a stack for our e-publishing module in LIT.ie.
http://www.mobileread.com/forums/ offers clever work-arounds and several busy bees populate https://twitter.com/#!/search/%23eprdctn
TOC is bleeding edge. MOC offers ideas on how to promote stuff and @cspenn offers epubs as a promotional service. The Evernote podcast helps to GTD.
I always learn while reading information shared by @eoinpurcell on Twitter. I’m in awe that Scrivener costs less than Camtasia, another productivity product I use as a college lecturer. If you get involved with e-publishing, you should test your products on the gear used by your readers. That’s why I’ve a Symbian phone, an iTouch, a Sony Ericsson Xperia running Android, a Kindle, and a Windows Phone. I get many of my ebooks to read while enjoying coffee at tables served by free and open wifi.
