Now that iBooks Author has been available for a few months, there are additional resources for learning how to use it. Jeff Batt from Kinetic-Media recorded his 1-hour session on using iBooks Author and posted on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D0tPNeXXro. I have embedded the presentation below.
If you are considering doing a workshop on how to use iBooks Author - beware of potential bandwidth problems if you want the participants to access the Internet. When I co-presented on using iBooks Author at the Sloan C/MERLOT conference last July, bandwidth issues were significant. Participants were attempting to download the software, but could not. That is a reason to consider recording your session, like Jeff did. Of course, if we had anticipated the issue, we could have asked participants to download the software ahead of time.
Note, there is a 2.33 minute advertisement that you can skip to view the video.
