issuu ebook content_curation school_libraries SLANZA

    Cathy, thanks for bookmarking this. The SLANZ journal is great reading and the issuu format is very cool. The articles on 'Content Curation' are all interesting to me, esp Judy Connell's. I'm not sure that content curation is the new black, rather a rebranding of what librarians and TLs have traditionally done. A paper based 'pathfinder' may seem anachronistic but they still have a place as tool to conmunicate / market/ educate. Of course, I also support Judy's position on the opportunity to for Web 2.0., apps and a range of digitals tools to curate content to communicate / market/ educate our students in developing 21st century skills. I'm not sure that 'content curation' the new black but it most definitely has synergy!

  • Here's the new plan: Colleges require students to pay a course-materials fee, which would be used to buy e-books for all of them (whatever text the professor recommends, just as in the old model).
  • Why electronic copies? Well, they're far cheaper to produce than printed texts, making a bulk purchase more feasible
  • An Indiana company called Courseload hopes to make the model more widespread, by serving as a broker for colleges willing to impose the requirement on students. And it is not alone.

  • The real champions of the change are the college officials signing the deals.
  • "Our game plan is to bring the cost of textbooks down by 75 to 80 percent."
  • In its standard model, Flat World offers free access to its textbooks while students are online. If students want to download a copy to their own computers, they must pay $24.95 for a PDF (a print edition costs about $30)

    Unusually informative article on the state of digital texts in 2010. Short and concise. Good info for librarian tech leaders.

Upcoming digital magazine storefront faces myriad challenges - 4 views

  • Upcoming digital magazine storefront faces myriad challenges Some major players in the publishing world have partnered to develop an online storefront for magazines and newspapers. The idea is to offer a standardized advertising format while preserving each publication's look and feel, but details are somewhat lacking for the time being.
  • This brings up a major challenge that publishers will have to face as this project progresses: the lack of a distinct product genre that would be ideal for reading magazines in digital format.

  • His take on the education system, for example, is that it is a badly designed game: students compete for good grades, but lose motivation when they fail. A good game, by contrast, never makes you feel like you've failed: you just progress more slowly. Instead of giving bad students an F, why not start all pupils with zero points and have them strive for the high score?

      How can this idea be applied to information skills and school libraries?
  • a consultant on cyber-crimefighting speaks with undisguised joy about how much information the police could glean from Facebook, in order to infiltrate communities where criminals might lurk. Asked about privacy concerns, she replies: "Yeah – we'll have to keep an eye on that."
  • Until recently, the debate over "digital distraction" has been one of vested interests: authors nostalgic for the days of quiet book-reading have bemoaned it, while technology zealots have dismissed it. But the fusion of the virtual world with the real one exposes both sides of this argument as insufficient, and suggests a simpler answer: the internet is distracting if it stops you from doing what you really want to be doing; if it doesn't, it isn't.

    Fascinating article about the next generation of the ubiquitous web and the implications. Good definition of "gamification." This is excellent background information for strategic planning and discussing the potential implications on education.
