The task is to create an iBook for Level 3 students (A-Level) that can be used as an educational resource. It's to be constructed on iBooks Author to be used on the iPad.
As the iBook will be used an 'educational resource' all of the information included in it must be factually correct - this means using reliable sources and adhering to copyright restrictions in the same way you would when writing a report.
In order to make the iBook more interesting and engaging and bring the subject to life, it must be Interactive (e.g. the 'i' in 'iBook') and of a 'documentary narrative'. So, it must be presented in a reasonably formal way in some form of narrative. The chapters and articles should run from each other and the iBook should also have the ability to link to pages back and forth throughout.
The subject of the iBook will be a "wonder of nature".
My subject is: Volcanoes
The iBook must be built out of a frame of 'robust navigation', so this is an element I will research and explore further throughout the assignment. It must contain a combination of text and images, as well as video and sound files. All of these must be sourced and then put into an asset register.
The asset register must detail the sources of each asset with information on copyright restrictions.
In order to conduct my research, I must find and analyse examples of iBooks and Animated elements that are part of an interactive navigation structure. As well as this, I must conduct visual research which will help me develop the design, interaction and navigation of my iBook.
My pitch to the group must contain examples of research, mockups, storyboards and my plans for the navigation of my iBook.
To hand in submission:
- Pitch
- A folder containing
- iBook Authoring File (.iba)
- Finished exported iBook
- PDF render of finished iBook
- Working files (in a folder)
- Asset Register
- Production Schedule with intervals
- Sketchbook
The sketchbook and this blog must contain:
- Evidence of research
- Preparatory work
- Final Designs
- Evidence of a developed understanding of technical and design issues
- Evidence of a developed understanding of interactive design principles and practise.
- Evidence of user testing
