You may also write your own reviews of particular book apps and contribute those to our course site for discussion with your colleagues. Instead we'll focus on multimedia books that are released as individual apps, such as London: A City Through Time.Įach week you'll watch video demos of particular apps, and discuss our course readings in the class forum.
We will NOT be discussing plain text titles available on the Kindle or iBooks & other platforms. In this course, you'll become familiar with specific book apps in several categories, and learn how these apps are enabling learning and creativity. IPads are everywhere and there are many innovative new books that are being published as apps, taking advantage of the multi-touch interface and multimedia capabilities of the iPad. The future of reading is here and interactive books are enabling learning. Susan Hansen, Branch Manager, West Hartford Public Library, Hartford, CT The topic is timely, relevant and fun! I couldn't ask for more.
I signed up not knowing a thing about book apps, and in a month's time I am using them at work and collaborating with a library colleague to create a book app of our own for use in story times. This course gets five stars not only for the information it contains, but also for the level of empowerment it provides. (previously Head of User Experience for the MIT Libraries)
