From Boomtown to Bleak Town Vol. 17 No. 16 February 4, 1993 Concordia pr ofessor captures sense ol once-proud prairie city From boomtown to bleak town hn Timmins Can Moose Jaw, Sask., once a vital rail town, find true happiness in the 1990s as "the international marching band capital of North America?" Sadly, the answer is no, according to Moose Jaw, the latest film by Concordia Communication Studies Professor Rick Hancox. The old Moose Jaw has had its day. Hancox is one of Canada's most influen­ tial experimental film-makers. Besides Moose Jaw, he has made the prize-winning landscape/poetry -film trilogy Waterworx, Landfall and Beach Events, as well as Wild Sync and the one-hour autobiographical documentary, Home for Christmas. Moose Jaw will be shown at Concordia on Feb. 18. The screening will take pl ace in the F.C. Smith Auditorium on the Loyola Cam­ pus at 7:30 p.m., as part of the Communica­ tion Studies Coll oquium Series. 10-year project To make Moose Jaw, Hancox returned to the city of his boyhood several times during the last 10 years -each time with his 16mm Bolex clasped firmly in hand. Conde nsing a I 0-year film project into 57 minutes, he has captured a vivid, fatalistic sense of a once-proud prairie city, now 30 years into its decline, by using filming tech­ niques and all the post-production magic 'There's a future in our past' holds true for Communication Studies Professor Rick Hancox. His expected of an independent filmmaker in film Moose Jaw begins as a documentary about the city of his boyhood and evolves into an top form. experimental film about himself.

  • 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.
