HCC at NISOD Conference
Recently, some HCC faculty and staff went to the NISOD Conference in Houston, TX.
Travis Meek presented at the conference. "It was a great experience to be honored with the Excellence award at NISOD. The honor was intensified from being able to share it with HCC colleagues and a fellow Excellence award winner Mike Rabaut. Austin was an exciting city filled with music all around and bats flying overhead. To be honest the conference started off a bit slow for me because of so low attendance at sessions including the one I presented. By Wednesday it had all turned around with some innovative presentations on ideas I plan to implement in my own courses in varying amounts, such as flipped classrooms and collaborative testing." - Travis Meek
Mike Rabaut was HCC's NISOD Award Winner. "I found the experience interesting and was honored to receive the award especially with my school mate Travis Meek, a fellow Excellence award winner. The conference was enlightening and full of pleasant surprises, and of course there were the night time activities. I would like to extend my thanks to Dana Livesay and the CITT group for their hard work and dedication to helping faculty with their technology needs as well as allowing me to attend the conference. I especially enjoyed the evening dinner and accompanying Jam session that was punctuated with the talents of the attendees." - Mike Rabaut

Seminar on Copyright, Distance Learning & Open Access Overview
Hosted by the USF-St. Petersburg, the January 2012 Seminar on Copyright, Distance Learning & Open Access explored the educational impact of copyright legislation with two dynamic speakers. Dr. Kenneth Crews, Director, Copyright Advisory Office, Columbia University examined the legal implication of fair legal usage as applied to college libraries and distance learning courses. In contrast, Dr. Michael Geist, Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-commerce Law of the University of Ottawa, Faculty of Law provided a synopsis and evaluation of international anti-privacy legislation – SOPA and PIPA. Both speakers agree that international forces will impact future legislation. They speculate litigation will prompt colleges to re-examine e-reserves, library photocopying, video streaming, and course packs. To explore the how SOPA legislation impacts HCC, review the Chronicle at http://chronicle.com/article/A-GoodBad-Week-for-Free/130422/

Going Digital in the Classroom: E-text Initiative
By: Michael Johnson
Library Coordinator/ Librarian South Shore Campus HCC
Daytona State College recently held a conference on e text books called “Going digital in the Classroom: E-text initiative” This grant funded project employed 4 different models on acquiring course materials in a fashion other than the traditional purchase at College Book store Estimates of up to 80 percent savings were put to the test.
The researchers began by doing a literature review of other attempts by colleges to move to digital materials. The research did not find any schools that had adopted this practice on a college wide basis.
Rising Costs, availability and the static nature of print textbooks were all sighted as an impetus to strive toward a new model. Some of the advantages of an e text model would be daily or weekly updated to the material, cost savings and a less of chance of editors avoiding controversial issues in the texts
The first model was a Print based rental model. Highlights included:
The Second model was a Netbook model. Highlights included:
The third model was an E-book model. Highlights included:
The next model was rental Book club run as a traditional student club. Highlights included:
The presenting panel took Questions from the audience in an effort to expand the nuances of each plan.
For example the issue of highlighting and note taking ability of some of the newer e-book models was seen as a boon to students who used these methods in their studies
Infrastructure issues plagued the Ebook model with students attending class with dead batteries and minimal power outlets available in the classrooms.
The Rental of textbooks model that was run by the library seemed at odds with the nature of libraries. I.e. that there is no cost using a library. In addition the model would make library staff have to handle and account for monies that were collected. The storage of the moneys and who or where it would be spent was not clear. Lost / Damaged textbooks would result in a hold on a student record that will need an administrator to place and remove holds on student records. Traditional library materials processed using a LMS would have these functions automated.
The Student run Book club model was the overwhelming favorite of the students surveyed. Its ease of use and confidence level was noted by students. The other models all still suffered from all the problems associated with technology. The pitfalls of hardware and software as well as classroom support were all problems that were experienced. Getting everyone of the same page with the technological requirements needed planning and a single strategy. This can be difficult with many different agendas. The students I questioned had the latest in software and were somewhat savvy in computers. . They mentioned a sold wireless system as being key to implementing some of the models.
Notably absent were the book publishers and Book stores who profit off of the traditional system of purchase and buy back policies.
The research/ Seminar was helpful in its trailblazing efforts to tackle these issues but a good deal of work remains to be done.
Finally students have taken these matters in their own hands and created sites like Library Pirate.
These sites offer free downloads of textbooks organized outside of school parameters and the legality of these sites in up in the air.

The first model was a Print based rental model. Highlights included:
- Textbook Rental at College Library
- Semester Rental Price $35-$15
- Return Text to the Library at the End of Semester
- Students who did not Return Textbooks were held Responsible for the Full Book Price
The Second model was a Netbook model. Highlights included:
- Smaller, lighter version of laptop
- Netbook issued to student on the first day of class
- Student Netbook agreement
- Acceptance form
- Purpose of device is to allow access to the e-textbook
- Netbook return at the last day of class or by appointment with College HelpDesk
The third model was an E-book model. Highlights included:
- Access code purchased at College Bookstore
- Access online
- 180,360, or 540 days purchase term
- Model dependent on student’s computer access
- Inability to markup, highlight, or reference during class without personal computer
The next model was rental Book club run as a traditional student club. Highlights included:
- Overwhelmingly favorable reception
- Substantial cost savings at the student-level
- Opportunity to take more classes per term
- Ease and efficiency of the rental process
- Confident that books will be available
- Students “adapted” their approach to studying in lieu of writing in the book
- Social networking, making contacts, skill development
- Concerns about quality of used books.

FIPSE : Fund for the Improvement of Post Secondary Education
By: Sherry Hickman
Online Instructor, Biological Foundations, MacDill, Ybor and SouthShore Campuses
I was very interested in attending the FIPSE : Fund for the Improvement of Post Secondary Education 2011 E-Text Symposium, held on October 7, 2011, at Daytona State College. I wanted to interact with publishers' reps who sell online textbooks. I wanted to see what information was gleaned by the FIPSE study on e-texts. I wanted to hear what the Daytona State College students had to say about the use of online texts.
I teach an online course in non-majors biology (BSC 1005C) and we have used an e-text for the past three semesters. We moved to an e-text for few reasons: instant access to the text online after purchase, access to the text online from anywhere in the world (some of our HCC students are in the military and are deployed to locations around the world), cost savings, and environmental concerns.
When we were using a paper text, the materials cost approximately $225: course access fee, lab access fee and paper text price. With our new format using the e-text, the cost to the student is approximately $90.
Since we are teaching biology, which includes man's impact on the environment, attention to reducing our impact on the environment was of concern. The online format of our class models "best practices" in protecting our environment. We do not commute to campus, we do not use paper for our text, we do not ship textbooks, we do not need a building to house our class.
The FIPSE study echoed a lot of the concerns I hear from my students about using e-texts . Some students love the e-text. Some prefer a paper text. In our class, we make the paper text available to the students through the HCC bookstores and the publisher. Of course students know how to find used texts through outlets such as Amazon and half.com. Those students who like the feel and "readability" of the paper text are welcome to purchase a paper text for an additional fee.
The FIPSE study included questions about supplying students with laptops or e-readers to access their texts. Personally, I do not see the need for the colleges to supply the hardware to access the e-text. Many students have computers at home; virtually all schools have computers for students to use for free. Many e-texts have the ability for the student to print the pages they might require.
Another issue is the updating of material in textbooks. It is rather simple in an e-text. A new edition of a paper text is expensive; old texts are "wasted", students are frustrated when they cannot sell their text back at the end of the semester. These problems do not exist with an e-text.
Some people think if we go to all electronic books the paper books will "go away." This is easily solved by "print on demand" which is used by many publishers right now.
E-text? I am sold on the idea and the practice. It is working for me and my students.
