    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.

    Redefining Public Art in Toronto — Vision and Recommendations

    Thus in contrast to Toronto, public art in Montreal is a core municipal and provincial service. Dedicated budgets, a compulsory per cent for art program, and ample staff provide resources for the city to integrate public art into the texture and fabric of urban experience and to experiment with both traditional and novel approaches to doing so. Figure 29. BGL, La vélocité des lieux, 2015. Crédit photo/photo credit: Guy L'Heureux, 2015. 88 In 2017, Montreal is celebrating Canada 150 (as is Toronto), the 375th anniversary of the founding of Montreal, and the 50th anniversary of Expo 67. While Canada 150 is generating a good amount of programming in both cities, it is not resulting in many public art projects in Toronto. In Montreal, however, Canada 150 and that city’s 375th anniversary celebrations have generated a good number of public art projects, such as La Balade pour la Paix, among others. There is a conscious effort by the City of Montreal to use the 375th anniversary as a platform for public art to generate international prestige. Key findings This section summarizes some of the main findings of our research. I. Collaboration between stakeholders While BAP and MCC are the two major public art stakeholders in Montreal, they operate alongside and in collaboration with other public institutions. These strong collaborative relationships are a crucial part of Montreal’s successful public art initiatives. Currently, there are two important clusters of collaboration between museums, universities, and the City. • Zone Éducation-Culture is a forthcoming public art hub on Bishop Street, a zone shared by the Quartier du Musée and the Quartier Concordia in the Ville-Marie borough.
