The Apple Education Event was this morning at 10 AM. MacWorld blogged the event so it was the next best thing from being there. Apple introduced iBooks 2 and iBooks Author. iBooks 2 is designed to create interactive searchable textbooks that can include video and animations.
iBooks Author is a FREE app for creating the interactive books. It is only available for the Mac and you need the Mac OS 10.7 or higher. Of course, my Mac only has 10.6 :-(. I will take it to work tomorrow to get the OS upgraded to get the opportunity to use the authoring software. In my "spare" time, I want to get started on a iBook textbook on using Access for nurses.
The focus is on K-12. There was discussion about using the iTunes U app for courses. For more information on the event read the article in the Washington Post. MacWorld is a great resource to learn more.
