I also developed a deep appreciation for its real-world teaching approach making it a no-brainer for me when it came time to decide on where to do my PhD. My research focuses on the Digital Economy and on understanding how technological advances are disrupting industries, businesses, and jobs. Concordia’s philosophies and connections with real-world practice allow me to pursue my studies free from academia’s ivory towers. My supervisor always encourages me to explore topics I’m passionate about which is important since the PhD is a marathon, and the best fuel is the interest you have in your research. 6 THE PERFORM CENTRE INTERDISCIPLINARY The PERFORM Centre provides an integrated and comprehensive CENTRES AND INSTITUTES environment to promote healthier lives through changes in Concordia is home to cutting-edge research facilities to help propel behaviour and lifestyle by offering research opportunities, education, our research to new heights.

  • Submitting an Individual Proposal
    Volume 45(1) Winter/hiver 2019 Exploring Perceptions of E-Books Among CEGEP Students and Faculty Exploration des perceptions relatives aux livres électroniques chez les étudiants et enseignants au cégep Yuan Chen, Concordia University Saul Carliner, Concordia University Salvador Garcia Martinez, Concordia University Ann-Louise Davidson, Concordia University Abstract Because they are believed to be able to lower the costs of an education, e-books have been factored into the technology plans for community colleges and CEGEPs during the current decade. But adoption is a function of perceptions, which this study explored: (1) General perceptions of the CEGEP (collège d'enseignement général et professionnel, a community college-like institution in Quebec) students and faculty towards e-books and (2) the factors that drive those perceptions. Previous studies found that users generally had neutral and positive impressions of e-books and that the following factors drive overall perceptions of e-books: (a) previous experience, (b) reading preferences and tasks; (c) reading habits; (d) convenience; (e) costs; and (f) ownership issues. A survey of the 2,260 faculty and students at a CEGEP in Quebec was conducted, with 247 students and 19 faculty responding. Results indicated wide awareness of e-books and at least some experience with them. Results validated that previous experience drove perceptions, that printed materials generally had more credibility than digital ones (this was more pronounced for books), that many students read online but do not take notes when doing so, users perceive e-books to be more convenient than printed ones, that e-books become attractive when their price is 50% that of print, and that most users think that they own e-textbooks even though most publishers merely rent e-textbooks.
