Learn iBooks Author

FID on Ed Technology: Go to iBooks Author Resources

Description

This TWT Workshop will introduce faculty to the various uses for iBooks in teaching and assessing students. During the workshop faculty will learn how to use iBook Author templates to create an Apple iBook with interactive content, including how to:

• Use and modify templates

• Embed audio and video files

• Insert interactive modules

• Create review questions with interactive assessment

• Manage table of contents

• Create an index and glossary with entries connected to the body of the text

Facilitator: Garry Forger, MLS, Office of Instruction & Assessment

Device/Apps Required NONE.

NOTE: Apple's iBooks Author works only with Mac iOS. Thanks to the UA College of Education, we will be using the Computer Laboratory in the Education building on main campus, which has 10 macs available.

You may bring, if you prefer, your own Macbook or Macair or other type of Mac laptop.

Getting There

As for getting to the event on November 3^rd, there is a UA Shuttle that will stop near the College of Education. The Teal  route stops closest to the college but the purple route will stop near 1^st & Cherry Avenue, nearby. The TransLoc app (left) can be used on an iPhone (maybe other smart phones too) to get UA shuttle schedule and alerts when they are arriving/leaving.
