DEMONSTRATION

E-Books: The next step in content delivery for Educators

 

Andy Wasserman, TransMedia Sound & Music, Schooleys Mountain

New Jersey, USA

 

ABSTRACT:

 

Attendees will have a chance to view the 3 most popular E-Book software programs currently used in educational settings.  These E-Book programs by Adobe (http://www.adobe.com/products/ebookreader/main.html), Microsoft

(http://www.microsoft.com/reader/downloads/pc.asp), and Night Kitchen's "TK3" (http://www.nightkitchen.com) function on personal computers, without the need for a dedicated hardware E-Book reading device.  The demonstration will include both the authoring side as well as the use of the stand-alone reader.

 

BENEFIT TO PARTICIPANTS ATTENDING SESSION:

 

Most people are still unfamiliar with what E-Books are, and how they are used.  This demo will give "how-to" information, as well give participants the opportunity to gain a perspective on the technological innovations that E-Books offer for educational content delivery. E-Book tools show great promise for both students and educators because of their ability to compile, sort, and publish information.
