Session A104 - Global inspiration, local action
The modern library supports learning on all levels. All types of library, in many different countries, face the same challenges, driven in many cases by technological developments or financial contraints. Despite having the same core issues, libraries come up with different answers, shaped by their differing cultures. By being globally inspired and translating that inspiration into local action libraries can transform their communities.Urban Open Data in Ghana and West Africa

Professor Mark Brown, Director of the National Institute for Digital Learning, gave a presentation on the challenges and opportunities of the unbundling movement in Irish higher education. The presentation discussed two major perspectives on unbundling: seeing it as a threat or an opportunity for re-imagination. It outlined different ways higher education is being unbundled, such as through new learning modes, borderless education, varying content types, new educational services, and alternative credentials. The presentation concluded by asking what system-level and institutional responses are needed to harness opportunities and mitigate risks from the unbundling of higher education.Digital Humanities 101, ENGL 206, January 27, 2015

Professor Mark Brown and Dr Mair辿ad Nic Giolla Mhich鱈l from Dublin City University gave a presentation titled "The Digital Literacy Movement: Utopian or Dystopian Development?" There is no single definition of digital literacy and over 100 models exist. Current models are often too prescriptive and lack context. Digital literacies should be reframed to focus on critical thinking skills, participation in society, and shaping technology for positive social change rather than just skills development. The conclusion is that digital literacies are not on an independent trajectory and active citizenry is needed to help shape better digital futures for all.Libraries strategic learning institutions - #CILDC 2015

Digital natives think and learn differently than in the past due to growing up immersed in technology. They are multi-taskers who socialize online and think using information and communication technologies. For educational reform to be effective, it must provide opportunities for digital natives to get connected, construct knowledge in personally meaningful ways using various modalities, and demonstrate their skills creatively using technology. Educators and students should work together to discover how technology can enhance the teaching and learning process.Preserving Our Digital Heritage

Todays youth lead online lifestyles. They interact in online communities, build relationships, express themselves, stay informed, and find answers to lifes questions all online. Notebook PCs, smartphones, and wireless networks provide access to social networks anywhere, anytime. This generation, the iGeneration, is accustomed to on-demand, individualized service, and is becoming increasingly intolerant of traditional teaching methods where lectures and textbooks assume that one size fits all and that learning takes place through individual effort in a classroom. As teachers struggle to satisfy tech-savvy students, we also face pressure to serve increasing numbers of students with fewer resources. Some schools are finding success in dealing with these issues through innovative uses of technologies. Moving curricula online, adopting online pedagogies that emphasize exploration and collaboration, designing engaging activities such as serious games, and implementing online learning communities are key to connecting with the iGeneration. This presentation looks at current research in innovative online education technologies, along with the presenters own work in the area.Digital Storytelling and More: Ideas to Invigorate Literacy Instruction

Libraries are playing an important role in driving sustainable development globally and locally. Globally, libraries collaborate through organizations like IFLA to support the UN's 2030 agenda and advance initiatives like the Marrakesh Treaty. They also partner with programs like UNESCO's Information for All to promote information access, literacy and peace. Locally, libraries serve as community anchors, facilitating dialogue on social issues and supporting community empowerment and capacity building for social transformation. The document discusses how libraries can measure their impact on peace and partner with other organizations to strengthen this work.Transmedia Literacy applied as a learning framework for children with Intell...

Transmedia is a emerging form of creating contents using different media, and it is successfully used for transmedia storytelling experience (Ciastellardi, 2013), where the elements of a fiction is dispersed across multiple delivery channels for the purpose of creating a unified and coordinated entertainment experience. Ideally, each medium makes it own unique contribution to the unfolding of the story (Jenkins, 2011). This paper present a novel approach to use transmedia literacy for improve learning skills on young people, specifically oriented to persons with intellectual disabilities.

The Talking Book is a device that provides audio recordings of agricultural, health, and education information to rural communities in Ghana. A pilot study distributed 21 Talking Books to a village. Interviews found that users applied lessons which increased their crop yields by 48% compared to non-users. However, the allocation process led to some unequal access. Future work aims to improve committee training, encourage peer adoption, and explore ownership models to sustain the Talking Book program.Talking Book Pilot Results
Talking Book Pilot ResultsLiteracy Bridge

The document summarizes the results of a pilot program that distributed audio devices called Talking Books in a village in Ghana to provide health, agriculture, and educational information to residents. Key findings included:
- Users reported learning valuable information from the devices and nearly all applied what they learned, resulting in observed improvements like increased crop yields.
- Residents were able to operate the devices independently after listening to the onboard instructions, and the content was effective at creating behavior change.
- While device access was limited, all surveyed residents felt the Talking Books were providing value to the community. The pilot demonstrated the potential for locally generated audio to impact rural communities.
Talking Book For Education
Talking Book For EducationLiteracy Bridge

The document discusses using Talking Books to improve education in rural areas. Talking Books are affordable audio computers that allow students to listen to recorded textbooks, stories, and lessons. They can also take quizzes and copy recordings. Organizations customize Talking Books by recording content from textbooks and creating interactive lessons and quizzes. The Talking Books are distributed to schools and communities. This increases access to education for students, including those who do not regularly attend school or come from illiterate families. It allows more efficient use of limited teaching resources and helps students learn more effectively both in and outside the classroom.Talking Book For Knowledge
Talking Book For KnowledgeLiteracy Bridge

The document discusses a solution called the Talking Book, which is a simple, durable audio computer that allows organizations to record and distribute educational messages and applications to address problems with knowledge access in rural areas. It can be used to spread information on health, agriculture, and other topics in an efficient, on-demand manner. The document also describes how individuals could share knowledge through peer-to-peer recording and distribution of messages on the Talking Book.Case Study Agriculture

Literacy Bridge's Talking Book Project in Ghana provides subsistence farmers access to agricultural information through audio recordings made by local experts. By listening to lessons on their Talking Books about techniques like proper seed spacing and fertilization, farmers were able to substantially increase their crop yields within one growing season. One farmer harvested over four times as much corn from the same plot of land by applying the practices he learned from the Talking Books.Literacy Bridge Pics 2010 02 03

The advent of universally accessible information and knowledgelow-cost hardwareall present a real opportunity to developing countries to employ ICT to lift the quality of education and make it universally accessible. The Talking Book, for example, uses a low-cost audio device to provide affordable access to literacy learning tools and relevant locally created knowledge in regions with the least infrastructure.
