5. Oh the pedagogy of it all!
• Mobile strengths:
– In class:
• BYOD group or pairs work – look up,discuss,respond
• One-to-one – everything but some create work
• Lab work – electronic lab notebook
• More immediate than ICT suite
– Out of class:
• Field work - capture
• Homework – flipped lecture
• Research – capture & process
6. What format for content?
• It’s usually faster to read than to listen or watch
• A picture paints a thousand words
• Photos can mislead
• More is communicated by voice than just the words
• Video: some things must be shown
• Interactivity encourages exploration

8. Tbird Top Tips – Overall view
• When I designed for Apple
devices, things worked nicely
on Android as well

• For downloadable items,
consider a Creative Commons
license
9. Text – ebooks!
• iBooks Author – simple easy, produces .ibook format
• Free with latest Mac OS
• Print to PDF – it’s beautiful
• If you don’t wish to stop there…
• Can take it into Adobe Acrobat Distiller and save as
Word
12. Take advantage of iBooks Author

13. Now make an epub
• Copy and paste the text into Pages.
• Add photos.
• Add video if you’re sure the devices can handle it
– iOS: iBooks
– Android: Kobo, Ibis Reader
• Let it flow!
• Tips: Only inline. No floating objects.
14. Calibre
• Take a Word doc

• Pdf to epub doesn’t really work
• Also try epubbud.com
15. Picture books!

18. Sound
• Why sound?
– Copyright is easier – recorded lectures
– File size is smaller
– Listeners can do something else at the same time
– No bad hair days – staff like it!
– Voice communicates more than the printed word
– Excellent, easy way to close distance
20. Audioboo
• Like YouTube for sound
• Record in browser
• Attract comments in browser
• Or simply upload
• RSS out, iTunes out it’s like magic
• Can send these to Apple if you like
• 5-minute sound limit
21. Soundcloud
• A bit more socially aware
• The app lets you record so good for students to
record their own stuff and post up
• Very intuitive
• Longer sound limit
23. Examples of use
• Audio feedback – increased marks & retention
http://www.le.ac.uk/duckling
• Voice discussions
• Audioboo – Field use – listen to teacher’s description
of a flower, student audio-records her own
comments and findings
• Student can record, using Audioboo for iPhone
(don’t use iPad app yet)
28. YouTube facts
• 10 minute limit
• Great to embed into LMS
• Comments are a mixed blessing
• Good statistics
• Use branding
• Not too easy to download the video
• Good way to convert files to mp4
29. Vimeo
• Longer video than
YouTube
• Much less junk
• Pretty much just as
easy to do
• Downloadable
31. Recorded lectures
• Record the face or just the slides?
• Streaming or download?
• Automatic enterprise, or one-by-one?
• Huge server space required, very expensive
• Screen capture software:
QuickTime, Camtasia, iShowU
34. Editing movies – keep it simple
• iMovie – free with Mac – saves as .mov, .mp4
• Windows MovieMaker – but doesn’t save as mp4
• Only go to Final Cut Express if you have to!
– Bleeped out sounds
– Fuzzed out faces
