iBooks Textbooks (Author)

This new addition to the line of Apple software is extremely interesting for me as a former educator and now e-learning specialist. It will now be easy to make interactive books which can be read on any system.

Introduction by Apple:

Available free on the Mac App store, iBooks Author is an amazing new app that allows anyone to create beautiful Multi-Touch textbooks — and just about any other kind of book — for iPad. With galleries, video, interactive diagrams, 3D objects, and more, these books bring content to life in ways the printed page never could.

Give your book a great beginning with templates.

No need to let the blank page scare you. Just start with an Apple-designed templates. Each template has a variety of page layouts to choose from — or create one of your own.

Building a book is as easy as dragging and dropping.

iBooks Author makes it simple to flow in text, graphics, movies, and more, so your book looks exactly the way you want. Drag and drop a Pages or Microsoft Word document to the Book navigator to add it as a new section. Then, when you drag and drop in images, your type automatically flows around them.

Customize with a click.

iBooks Author has everything you need to create a great-looking book. Add text, shapes, charts, tables, and Multi-Touch widgets anywhere on the page with a single click. Mask images, use alignment guides — even add reflections and shadows. It’s as easy as using a word processor, but powerful enough to design more advanced layouts.

Add widgets. Add interest.

Widgets add Multi-Touch magic to books with interactive photo galleries that bring images to life, engrossing 3D objects you can’t help interacting with, animations that burst off the page, and more.

Accessibility built right in.

iBooks Author lets you create books that people with disabilities can read and experience. The table of contents, glossary, widgets, main text, and more are built to automatically take advantage of VoiceOver technology. Add accessibility descriptions to any widget or media — including movies and quizzes — so even those with vision impairments can use them.

Get the word out.

As you’re building your book, check out how it looks by previewing it on your iPad. When it’s just the way you want and you’re ready to publish, iBooks Author helps you submit to the iBookstore for purchase or free download. You can also export it in iBooks format to share on iTunes U or to give to anyone with an iPad.

Portugal at Easter

yimvmd — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 08:38:38 +0000

While at the moment all people are writing about snow and skiing I just arranged me a new short trip to Portugal to visit my friends in Oporto. I have been there twice now at Easter and I think it is an extremely good time to be in Portugal. It is party time, with several Easter processions, meaning lots of food and drinks, the weather is great and the people are even nicer (if that would be possible at all ) during these days. So my plans for 2012 already changed, no Norway at Easter.
