Publishers, Readers, and Digital Engagement
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/facultybooks/100/thumbnail.jpgThis book demonstrates how the roles of “author,” “marketer,” and “reviewer” are being redefined, as online environments enable new means for young adults to participate in the books they love.Prior to the expansion of digital technologies around reading, teachers, parents and librarians were the primary gatekeepers responsible for getting books into the hands of young people. Now publishers can create disintermediated digital enclosures in which they can communicate directly with their reading audience. This book exposes how teens contribute their immaterial and affective labor as they engage in participatory reading experiences via publishers’ and authors’ interactive websites and use of social media, and how in turn publishers are able to use such labor as they get invaluable market research, peer-to-peer recommendations, and even content which can be used in other projects — all virtually free-of-charge.</p

Eye-Tracking Technology Applications in Educational Research
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/facultybooks/108/thumbnail.jpgSince its inception, eye-tracking technology has evolved into a critical device in psychological and sociological settings. By tracking eye movement, one can conduct lie detection, learn about neuropsychology, and measure reading response. Recently, these technologies have been implemented in Educational and School Psychology as a way to assess how students interact with content. Eye-Tracking Technology Applications in Educational Research enriches the current pool of educational research with cutting-edge applications of eye tracking in education. Seeking to advance this emergent, interdisciplinary field, this publication collects a diverse group of researchers exploring all aspects of this technology as an essential reference for educators, researchers, administrators, and advanced graduate students.</p

Incorporating a Service Learning Component into General Chemistry Laboratory
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/trumbull_showcase/2016/Posters/3/thumbnail.jpgService learning is a meaningful way to combine classroom instruction with community service. By applying course content to community activities, service learning projects engage students with the community and heighten public awareness of the subject matter. Advantages of service learning projects reach four populations: benefiting not only the student, faculty, and university but members of the local community as well. General Chemistry Laboratory students from KSU Trumbull Campus recently partnered with Book Buddies at the Warren-Trumbull County Public Library to include a science literature night. For this special event, children (grades 1-4) selected from a list of science themed books to read with their assigned tutor and then subsequently participated in hands-on science experiments highlighting topics presented in the books. KSU Trumbull chemistry students designed all of the safe, fun, and entertaining experiments to excite young children and foster a positive learning experience with science.</p
Does Social Stigma Affect Criminal Rehabilitation?
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/trumbull_showcase/2016/Posters/4/thumbnail.jpgThere are many strategies to accessing and treating the criminogenic needs of offenders to help them rehabilitate and reintegrate back into society successfully. However criminals are often labeled and stigmatized by society as deviant outcast; viewed as irredeemable and irreparable lost causes. Can criminals be rehabilitated? Not just rehabilitated in the sense of the legal system’s view, but in the views of their peers, families, and communities. It’s important to realize the affects that societal views and attitudes about criminals have on offenders when they’re trying to rehabilitate and reintegrate back into society. Rehabilitation of criminal offenders is a complicated and multifaceted issue that has many different approaches. For the purposes of this project the Punishment, Rehabilitation and Prevention Ideologies will be examined as well as the Restorative Justice model; while also evaluating social stigmas placed on offenders.</p
