Despite the growth in the popularity of e-textbooks, there has yet to be adopted an effective model through which an academic institution can easily re-purpose the scholarly output of its staff to allow global and affordable access to students. This paper describes a research project designed to explore effective processes for the university to become a digital publisher of its own academic output. The project produced two e-textbooks, focusing on using Amazon Kindle for distribution, each book with a free companion website of open access learning resources. The use of the e-texts and the websites were then monitored for evaluation. The publication process was documented and will be made publicly available in the final report on the JISC website. In summary, the pre-publication tasks are almost identical to the production of a conventional printed book, but at publication, everything else changes. The e-textbook system minimises the problems of storage, distribution, pricing, and up...

As the number of alumni on the Telkom Surabaya Institute of Technology campus increases, which is still relatively new because it was founded 5 years ago, it is not uncommon for final year students to create Final Assignment (TA) titles that are similar or even the same as the alumni to fulfill their grades. Of course, the same title is prohibited because students should create a new title that is different from the previous one. Because if the title of the Final Project is the same, then the resulting output will be the same too. This causes difficulties in publishing journals by lecturers. The high similarity of final assignment titles, whether intentional or unintentional, indicates a lack of references to previous final assignments that can be accessed by students. Therefore, this research aims to create a Digital Library (DIGILIB) based on Progressive Web Application (PWA) as an online repository that collects student Final Project documents. It is hoped that with the projection of DIGILIB it can become a platform for students to search for Final Assignment titles, and access for the academic community, but it is closed to outside audiences but only displays the abstract of the Final Assignment. So that monitoring of students' Final Assignment titles can be done easily, especially since the ITTelkom Surabaya campus has study programs that are still in the same league as Information Systems, Software Engineering and Digital Business.For future research, we suggest to evaluate the PWA program using TAM, UTAUT or SUS model.

Proceedings of the 2022 International Colour Association (AIC) Conference, 2022

We define "traditional colour theory" as a loose collection of propositions about colour that disregard the findings of modern colour science beginning with Young, Maxwell, Helmholtz, and Hering, very often oversimplified and misinterpreted, taken, among others, from the writings of LeBlanc, Field, Goethe, Chevreul and popularised in Itten's The Art of Color. We discuss four of the major misconceptions found in the literature and, alas, widely taught in schools-from preschool to university level. These misconceptions are those related to the "primary colours"; the hue circle (colour wheel); simple rules to establish harmonious colour combinations; and the problems associated with using vague colour categories or simple hue names, supposed to be sufficient to attach meaning and effect to colours. After pointing out the fallacies contained in these misconceptions, we conclude that 21 st century colour education should break away from the shackles of traditional colour theory and treat colour as something to be experienced and enjoyed, and not just taught.

Focusing on humorous cartoons about the Conquest published between 1945 and 1970 in an Argentinian popular comic magazine and on a Colombian educational and politically militant comic-book narrative history of the same events, published in 1978, I analyse how the publications used mixed temporalities when relating historical events. I challenge the common idea that disrupting linear timelines by mixing temporalities necessarily has politically progressive effects. The humorous cartoons typically portray Indigenous Americans from the fifteenth century as ‘primitives’ who nevertheless behaved in ‘modern’ ways, but this temporal disruption in fact works to erase the responsibility of dominant classes for Indigenous disadvantage. In contrast, the educational comic-book brings Indigenous people from the conquest into the present, talking directly to the readers and interpellating them as comrades in the struggle. Yet this comic-book also portrays Indigenous people in generic stereotyped ways, illustrating the difficulty of shaking off these colonial ‘recursions’ (Ann Stoler)
