Book Creator

A basic method for making cool digital books is the Book Maker. Build your own tools for teaching or make your learners take the reins. Book Maker is an software that helps students to create and read multi-modal interactive books for Google Chrome, a few other browsers, and the iPad. Via storey formation and digital design, it is an excellent way to enhance student engagement. Students may either create their own content (by clicking, drawing or downloading self-made videos, audio files, and images) or curate online multimedia materials from the Internet while making their own books. In project-based learning events, Book Maker can also be used as it enables several students to create one book in real-time collaboration. Though students can get the most educational value by creating their own books, multimodal book design can also be read.
