I am using iBooks Author to write lesson plans.  Anyone else working on this?

I am working with my district's professional development office to utilize iBooks for lesson plans.  The idea is to provide teachers with digital teaching so they will be better equipped for digital learning.  Anyone else working on this? 

Great work.
Note that the Widget is not a "Quiz" widget. It's a "Review" widget. It's meant for self assessment like the questions at the end of chapters in printed textbooks.
You could create a Quiz or Test inside of your LMS/VLE/CMS site and add a web link to the quiz after a few self assessment review questions? Something like "Have you mastered this material? Click here if you're ready to take the test..."
Also, might I suggest looking at iTunes U Course Manager as the tool to hold your books together?

  • Elements 12 Organizer crashes every time I try to use the Photo Mail function. Has anyone else come across this bug?

    I highlight the photos I want to share, go to Photo Mail, select the addressees and press "Next". I then get the error message: "Elements Organizer has stopped working" and I have to close the program down.
    This is obviously a bug in the program and needs fixing. Has anyone else encountered it and found a solution. (I might add that the same crash happens if I try to use the "Email attachments" function.)

    Hi,
    Are you running on a Windows system?
    If so, use the windows explorer to navigate to one of the following files according to your system.
    64bit system: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    32bit system: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
      Right click on that file and select Run as Administrator then try your email again.
      You should only have to do this once.
      Good luck

  • How can I share iBooks authored by me using iBook Author on 2 different iPads synced to two different computors? Both iPads have different iTunes accounts.

    I am in the process of authoring an eBook using iBook Author.  The project is a work in progress and I want to share the draft with other collegues.  We each have our own iPads synced with other computers and we have different iTunes acounts.  I attempted to preview the book on the new iPad, but the iPad did not come up in the available device window.
    Am I missing something or is there a way around this?

  • Can I use iBooks Author as a word processor and sell the text outside of iBooks?  Or does the exclusive license apply even to the text?

    I don't know if I want to sell on the iBook store, and I'd rather use iBooks Author than Text Edit or Word or Pages.  I understand that complicated interactive content is what makes iBooks Author special.  But if I create basic text content I could create anywhere, taking advantage of the versioning and iCloud storage iBooks Author provides, do I still own my own writing?

    You own your own writing but the license would prevent you from selling it externally if it produced using iBA. You could of course freely give it away, or sell it via the iBookstore. If I were you I'd be using Pages - much friendlier to use (less bugs, more mature) and if you need the extra features you can import into iBA.

  • HT5071 How to download paid iBook created using iBook Author

    I would like to submit a paid iBook created using iBook Author and make it available to download in India. Apple does not support downloading paid iBooks in India. Is there a solution for this. Also, is there an enterprise deployment of iBooks ie limited distribution of paid iBook.

    Apple requires that books can only be sold through the Store. See iBooks Author: Publishing and distribution FAQ - Support for details otherwise.
    As always, feel free to use the 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item for features you'd like added in the future, etc.

  • Are there any tutorials on the basics of using iBook Author?

    I am an established author and want to use iBook Author to make some of my op material (where I have secured all rights)to be made available again.  I have to adapt the iBook Author templates to accomodate the pages.  I need help learning how to do this.

    Regarding templates this thread may be useful.  One user is working on a handbook.

  • How are you Using iBooks Author and Samples

    I'm curious to see how everyone is using iBooks author to create books. Are most people copy/pasting content into their book or are they directly writing the content in the book? How many have just imported the information from another word processing program? Who is using the program for creating books for children, entertainment or work-related functions?
    And that being said, I'm also interseted to see samples of how the books of others look on the iPad, including if possible the children's books, entertainment books or the work-related books. (Including how they incorporated widgets, theme in the pages, fonts, etc)
    Me personally, I have been developing two books using iBooks author for work related fuctions. The first book is a training manual for a software program; the second book is a guide to all the reports that can be created in the software program. Both books have been well received by clients.

    I generally find that, for creating the text, I'm better off with the word processor of my choice. That way, I get to focus on content and structure and I don't get distracted by layout and formatting issues. While working in the word processor, I use only the simplest of styles. (Logical styles rather than visual ones, the equivalen of HTML <H1>, <H2>, etc.
    Once I'm happy with the text and I've done the copy editing, I import into the page layout program and do the layout.
    Cheers,
    Michi.

    If you are the author of the content, then you already have all the rights.   Of course if your book contains photos or other things created by other authors, you may need to acquire the rights to use those in your book.

  • Do I have to have a Website URL to publish a paid book using ibooks author?

    Is it required to have a website url to publish a paid book using ibooks author?

    A "website" can be very easily created and at no cost.
    I suggest Facebook can cater for  "feedback"  and "product support" although  Wordpress and  other similar blog sites offer a free service which is suffiecient for the purpose and a free /default page template makes it fairly easy  for anybody without knowledge of HTML or CSS - to create a page and  learn to add in much more.
    The URL, if you did not know is the address line ie    http://www.apple.com/

  • Can I create books for iPhone using iBooks Author?

    Can I create books for iPhone using iBooks Author?

    There is a new $5 iBooks Creator app in iOS app store for the iPad.
    The output looked pretty good for an iPad app.
    There is a video on how to use it to give you an idea of how easy it is.
    It creates ePub 2 whihc can be read on all platforms with an ePub reader except Amazon Kindle whihc forbids such things.
    You can run the ePub through Calibre and get MOIB for Kindle which works for me.
    I have done thirty or forty conversions so far.

  • Another free new ebook on using iBooks Author

    http://ibooksauthorguide.wordpress.com/
    Haven't looked at it yet, but this one is done with iBooks Author, by Charles Stack.

    Well, now that I've been through it I have to say it's not very useful. Evidently he plans to do a long series on using iBooks Author and this is just a general overview. Interesting only as an example of using iBA, and for those who are just starting as authors, a fairly good section on deciding what you want your book to be (considering target audience and things like that).
    I'm kind of surprised there's not more there there, but it's definitely not a patch on Nellie McKesson's book.

  • Looking for books published using iBooks Author

    I'm looking for books published with iBooks Author and there's no way to search for this in the store as far as I know. If you've published a book using IBA, please post the link in the comments. Thank you

    I´m thinking about what size of the text I should use.
    Right now I have size 16 Palatino and small blocks of text so it should be easy to read
    My experience is this: 16 point text looks (and is experienced as) standard print text in books.
    Here's a trick for iPad vermisilitude I use on my iMac with 1920 x1080 resolution: In iBooks Author I set the screen to "Fit Page" and then resize the screen manually to 92%. This very closely matches an iPad screen. In my case, it helps with selecting fonts.
    All the best.

    P.S. This would be better in a new forum.
