I continue to work on my eBook about data analysis using spreadsheet and database software every day. Last week I finished writing two chapters with short tutorials for Excel. After I finish the tutorials for FileMaker Pro, I will be creating supporting video for the iBooks Author eBook. Fortunately, Frank Lowney is a member of our university's ePublishing faculty learning community. Frank posted a blog on how to easily incorporate external video into iBooks Author at http://frank-lowney.blogspot.com/2013/02/how-to-easily-incorporate-exterbak.html with a HTML (hypertext mark-up language) widget.
He makes the point that if the video is embedded in the eBook, file size is an issue. External video mitigates the problem; however, the user must have the ability to connect to the Internet. Frank's blog includes a supporting video as well as screenshots with call-outs. I look forward to creating videos to support the eBook chapters. Use of external video is certainly an option to explore.
