Reading in the mobile era
No full textMobile technology can advance literacy and learning in underserved communities around the world.
Summary
Millions of people do not read for one reason: they do not have access to text. But today mobile phones and cellular networks are transforming a scarce resource into an abundant one.
Drawing on the analysis of over 4,000 surveys collected in seven developing countries and corresponding qualitative interviews, this report paints the most detailed picture to date of who reads books and stories on mobile devices and why.
The findings illuminate, for the first time, the habits, beliefs and profiles of mobile readers. This information points to strategies to expand mobile reading and, by extension, the educational, social and economic benefits associated with increased reading.
Mobile technology can advance literacy and learning in underserved communities around the world. This report shows how
The problem with maths
No full textAs an admissions tutor for chemistry at Southampton University I read last issue's Endpoint from David Smith with much interest. I agree with him that we should admit onto our courses only students who are capable of meeting the challenges of a degree in chemistry. Mathematics is an integral part of our discipline and we have always been open about this in discussions with potential students. Any chemistry graduate will confirm the range of skills needed to survive the rigours of topics as diverse as organic synthesis and quantum mechanics is broad and requires hard work. But how do we ensure that our incoming students are equipped to meet these challenges
Plan de Comunicación de Re-Read Castellón
No full textTreball Final de Grau en Publicitat i Relacions Públiques. Codi: PU0932. Curs acadèmic: 2019/2020Re-Read es una franquicia de librerías de segunda mano que se extiende por todo
el territorio nacional. Su modelo de negocio se basa en la compra venta de libros
a un bajo coste, para acercar la cultura a toda la sociedad. Además, tiene un
arraigado compromiso con el medio ambiente, buscando dar una segunda vida a
los libros.
Para cumplir con su objetivo medioambiental, en este caso, Re-Read Castellón
necesita seguir creciendo, seguir eliminando los prejuicios que se tienen con las
tiendas de segunda mano y darse a conocer en su entorno. Para conseguirlo, ReRead Castellón necesita un Plan de Comunicación con una base estratégica para
llegar con eficacia a sus diferentes públicos.
El eje sobre el que se va a fundamentar este trabajo tendrá en consideración la
grave crisis sanitaria que se ha sufrido y la profunda crisis económica,
especialmente para pequeños negocios como el de Carine Deboaisne, propietaria
de Re-Read Castellón. Por ello, el trabajo se dividirá en dos partes para conseguir
los resultados deseados. En primer lugar, se llevará a cabo una investigación
exhaustiva, tanto interna como externa de la empresa y su competencia. Y en
segundo lugar, se realizará un Plan de Comunicación teniendo en cuenta la
naturaleza de Re-Read, el entorno de Castellón y los públicos a los que se dirige
para lograr la consecución de los objetivos
Drawn towards (an exhibition of drawings)
No full textAn exhibition of graphic work by Simon Read:
My proposal for the exhibition at the Cut Gallery is that, rather than show a selection of studio work, I would focus primarily on drawing and more specifically upon drawing that is used as a means of exploring ideas and even more specifically laying stress upon work that has been carried out within this region.
My decision to do this was not just a matter of accessibility, but more to use it as a platform for how an artist can use work directly as a vehicle for exploration and engaging with contemporary issues, such as environmental change.
Over the last ten years I have increasingly sought ways in which I can actively contribute to this debate. Being based upon the Suffolk Coast in daily contact with a changing estuary landscape, means that I have a privileged insight, which I now feel that I can articulate through my relationship with the local community.
Now I find myself operating on many levels, my public role has expanded to put me on more committees than I would have initially imagined and I am energetically exploring ways that I can establish interdisciplinary collaborations in an academic context. It is always difficult to square this kind of involvement with the autonomy of an artist's practice. This is something that I cannot claim to have an answer for but have the conviction that, if pursued, it is bound to make sense.
To this end I have suggested that, rather than a finite show of work, this exhibition should be taken in the spirit of an open question.

Reading the Word and the World in Haiti: Literacy Education for Social Justice
No full textThe first author traveled to Haiti as a member of a group of volunteers from the U.S. whose goals were to provide assistance to children in a privately operated primary school located in the rural community of Lamardelle. For the first author, assistance primarily focused on training in literacy education, with an emphasis on reading comprehension strategies for students who struggle to read. We examine literacy education as a tool of social justice. This paper describes the components of the first summer of this teacher development program and explains how our work was undergirded by the Freirean ideas regarding liberatory education (Frire,2000). A second aim is to analyze ways language impacts the practice of education in Haiti. In so doing we hope to present a model of how literacy education can be a tool for social justice in similar contexts
The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
You Mean that Really Happened?!: Using Nonfiction to Engage Struggling Readers
No full textNonfiction texts used in a middle school classroom encouraged struggling readers to explore other nonfiction texts and to write about the world around them. Rosenblatt’s (1978) transactional theory of reader response posits that an interaction takes place among reader, author, and text during reading. The nonfiction texts Guts: The True Stories Behind Hatchet and the Brian Books (Paulsen, 2001) and Night (Wiesel, 2006) sparked students’ interest in real-life stories of survival and prompted struggling readers to read other nonfiction stories and to reflect upon and share text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to-world connections through discussion and writing
Reading the Word and World in Haiti: Literacy Education for Social Justice
No full textThe first author, Dr. Altheria Caldera, traveled to Haiti as a member of a group of volunteers from the U.S. whose goals were to provide assistance to children in a privately operated primary school located in the rural community of Lamardelle.

We examine literacy education as a tool of social justice. This paper describes the components of the first summer of this teacher development program and explains how our work was undergirded by Freirean ideas regarding liberatory education (Freire, 2000).
