iPad Primer with Embedded Video Tutorials
This page is one in a series of screens that display the learning objectives covered in the course EDUC 439/639: iPad Apps for Educators. The learning modules are in the iPad Primer, which students download to their iPads from Apple's iBookstore. Embedded in the modules are show-me movies that illustrate the tutorials and make them interactive. What powers this multimedia learning environment is the iPad's support for the <video> tag, which enables authors to embed movies on iBooks pages. One of the byproducts of working through the iPad Primer is that you will become able to write your own multimedia EPUB documents, if you would like to author a multimedia eBook for publication at Apple's iBookstore.
