Trinity receives visits from Apple specialists in iBooks Author and iTunes U

In August and October this year, Trinity was fortunate enough to get two visits to the college by specialists from Apple Australia. In August, an Apple Development Executive in Education presented on the Apple program iBooks Author to a group of rapt teachers in the Gourlay Basement, bringing a set of Macbook Air laptops so that we could all participate actively, and learn to make an iBook. Later in October we were fortunate to be visited by a Digital Education Content Specialist, who introduced us to iTunes U, and the possibilities of using the recently updated Apple platform to host courses, and distribute video and other course material to students.

The opportunity to learn from the experts, and have professional presenters taking us through the finer points of these products, was much appreciated. Many of us are already convinced about the potential benefits of creating custom-designed learning materials for our students, which have engaging and interactive features.
