The tech-nerds among us at Documatics were eagerly waiting to hear what exciting new features would be announced at Apple's Education Event in the Guggenheim Museum, New York yesterday. And we weren't disappointed...
Some things that caught our attention:
The new iTunes U app that brings a free digital catalogue of college and university courses to the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.
An iBooks 2 update that now supports these amazing new multi-touch books for the iPad.
iBooks Author the free Mac OS application used to create and publish these new multi-touch books.
A Textbooks section added to the iBookstore featuring a cataloge of interactive learning multi-touch books.
Apple are again paving the way for the future; revolutionising the way E-Books are created and published. By adding a Textbooks section to the iBookstore and releasing the iTunes U app, Apple are set to make education more interactive.
If you want to see what all the fuss is about, get the new iBooks 2 here, then log into the iBookstore and grab E.O Wilson's "Life on Earth an Introduction" (it's free!) to see the new beautiful, interactive 3D graphics for yourself- it's really hard not to be impressed.
