Author, publisher and Bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian Book industry
2007Co-Authors: J. E. Nwogu, Taiwo A. AkindeAbstract:This work is about the roles of Author, Publisher a nd Bookseller in Book Development in Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the hist ory of Book Publishing in Nigeria after which it proceeded by defining who an author, a pub lisher, and a Bookseller is and expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to Book Development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper con cluded and made recommendations on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country.

the gait e Book Development of effective participatory learning using simulation and active electronic Books
11th Mediterranean Conference on Medical and Biological Engineering and Computing (MEDICON 2007) 26-30 June 2007 Ljubljana Slovenia, 2007Co-Authors: Anders Sandholm, Peter Fritzson, Varun Arora, Scott L Delp, Goran Petersson, Jessica RoseAbstract:In this paper we outline an interactive electronic Book that teaches high school students about human locomotion. Today the most common teaching methods are lectures or reading a static textBook where the student’s participation is passive and they do not engage in the learning process. When learning about human gait, students not only learn anatomy and kinesiology but also have the opportunity to grasp theoretical subjects such as mathematics, physics, biomechanics as well as concepts of modeling and simulation to carry out experiments. In this paper we outline an interactive electronic Book where the student becomes engaged in the learning processes, they can add/remove text, images, video, create models and perform simulation in one environment. The Gait E-Book combines the theoretical lecture with the interactive learning process of modeling and simulation. Two different simulation platforms will be supported in the E-Book, OpenModelica and OpenSim. Modelica is a powerful modern equation based simulation language where students can focus on learning mathematical and physical behavior.

The Gait E-Book – Development of Effective Participatory Learning using Simulation and Active Electronic Books

One-Stop Physics E-Book Package Development for Senior High School Learning Media
International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (iJET), 2019Co-Authors: Alif Syaiful Adam, Nadi SupraptoAbstract:Many e-Book versions of Physics learning have used to support for gaining more information. Mostly, these e-Books didn’t contain virtual laboratory environment due to the student’s visualization in Physics concept. For this objection, an e-Book package was involved to developing, branded as Beboo (Bilingual e-Book), one stop e-Book package completed by physics visualize animation, virtual laboratory environment, student’s worksheet, supporting video and self-final test. Beboo uses to assist the second-year student in senior high school to learn static fluids concept, including of the condition in static fluids and the Pascal-Archimedes principle applying in an everyday situation. This e-Book was developed by a range of multimedia including text, pictures, diagrams, sound effect, music, video, and animation in interactive and effective elements and required multiskilling that are content crating and programming. Besides, it contains the interesting part in physics learning, a laboratory activity, designed in two simulators on U-Pipe and Hydraulic Lift due to the student’s understanding of the hydrostatic and pascal law systems. For a common self-final test, Beboo provides the final test feature, shown in multiple choice for concept achievement. In general, Beboo develops in three main stages (needs assessment, design and Development & implementation) known as Hannafin and Peck Model and have the validation score in a range of 84%- 94%. Furthermore, Beboo should enlarge team due to more chapter coverage and Android platform support. Overall, Beboo uses for an alternative use for school with no real laboratory and as the minimal point to the next e-Book Development. Moreover, this media developed as the answer in technology integration in 21st-century learning.

AAC strategies for people with primary progressive aphasia without dementia: two case studies
Augmentative and Alternative Communication, 1999Co-Authors: Cynthia J. Cress, Julia M. KingAbstract:This paper describes multimodality augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) strategies developed for two people with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) without dementia. One case focused primarily on an initial assessment while the other case emphasized intervention. AAC system Development included communication needs analyses, communication board and Book Development, and gesture modeling. Intervention focused on providing contextual cues, teaching visually based AAC strategies, and facilitator training. Both people with PPA successfully learned AAC strategies to augment the strategies they generated themselves to improve their functional communication. The authors suggest specific features of AAC that may be useful for people with PPA.
