Abstract:

The analysis revolves around late twentieth-Century out-of-print books. While the expectation of availability that comes from digitized texts influences how we approach literature, these texts would be impossible to find without second-hand bookstores and flea markets. By focusing on underground queer New York works as a case study, we will see how a recovery of these texts and the dynamics that surrounds it provide an interesting perspective on the relationship between print and digital books, small and mainstream publishing, and the implications of this natural v. digital selection when it c

Additionally, e-books contain not just one single novel but an entire library and even contain an online bookstore. Another prominent effect of e-books is that they cause discrepancies between the actual reading experience and the user experience of the medium. Muld

Abstract:

In this digital era, a fundamental challenge is to design digital reading materials in such a way that they improve children’s reading skills. Since reading books is challenging for many fifth graders—particularly for those genetically susceptible to attention problems—the researchers hypothesized that guidance from a digital Pedagogical Agent (PA) could improve students’ reading motivation and incidental vocabulary learning. Using a sample of 147 fifth-grade students, the researchers carried out a randomized control trial with three groups of students reading: (a) hardcopy (print) books, (b)

Abstract:

Alumni are an inseparable unit in the world of education. Alumni have a close relationship with the annual album book which is used to store alumni data. The alumni data at the Banyuwangi State Polytechnic is still kept in the form of an alumni album book. Data entered in printed form has many shortcomings, including the possibility of being damaged, lost, or not being able to be changed periodically. To overcome the above problems, making a Website-Based Alumni Book Application with the Laravel Framework is the right way to deal with these problems. With this alumni book application, users ca

Supplemental resources, including streaming video, online resources, subscription databases, audiobooks, e-books, and even games, round out the new collections.
