iBooks Author - what do you want to know?

I am giving a presentation on Oct 5 at mLearningDevCon in Philadelphia called "Creating iBooks Content for iPad".  I know what I want to present but more importantly, what would you expect or want to learn from a presentation like this?

Four mobile learning presentations

After "pulling technological rabbits out hats", "leaping tall requirements documents", and "turning back timelines" in order to provide the highest quality online and mobile web products for our clients what else has this Tech Team been up to?

A-conferencing we go, a-conferencing we go…..that's right, after giving 12 presentations at two national conferences  and two nationally available webcasts already this year, the Tech Team is back at it. 

Mike Raines, Michael Sheyahshe and Greg Gardner will be speaking at mLearningDevCon Oct 2-5 in Philadelphia.  We will be giving the following four presentations:

1. Creating iBooks Content for iPad – Greg Gardner
2. 'Nuff Said: Tips & Tricks from Digital Comics to Breathe Life into Your HTML5 mLearning – Michael Sheyahshe
3. A "Flash" of Freshness: Repurposing Existing Flash Content for Use in Mobile Development – Mike Raines
4. How to Skin mLearning Content with Your Own CSS – Greg Gardner

Greg will also be leading a mLearning Strategies roundtable session.

iPad1 iTouch and Keynote on HDTV or Projector

Here is a short video showing how you can use an iPad and an iTouch to display a Keynote presentation and view your notes as a presentor while the audience only sees the core presentation.

iBook created using iBook Author

I created this quick and basic iBook using the new iBook Author from Apple.  It was very easy to put together some concepts to show my team what can be done.  I can see a lot of potential.  The video shows all the widgets you can use except embedding html code onto a page. You will see examples of basic pages with images, chapter breakdown, thumbnail outlines, and embedded widgets such as charts, interactive images, image gallery, questions (called reviews in iBook Author parlance), interactive 3D objects,  how to add highlights notes and study cards. I will add more posts on how to use iBook Author in the coming days.
