Cloud Connect
Organize all your content in the cloud.Our cloud integration makes it simple and easy to organize all the content you need to source for your digital interactive textbooks. Issuu integrates with Google Drive and Dropbox, allowing you to upload the material you need to create a digital textbook. One of the most useful things about this feature is that you can add your peers to the cloud folder and work in collaboration to source content.
Video
Enhance the learning experience with video lessons. Adding videos boosts engagement. And in the classroom, engagement means learning! You can create an online textbook full of multimedia lessons with a video segment in just a few clicks. This is an exciting way to engage visual learners and help students connect with the material on a deeper level. Videos also make learning more fun! Everyone remembers how much they enjoyed watching movies in class, and now you can bring video content to the textbook as well.
Add Links
Don’t just list your sources. Link to them. Adding links is a learning game-changer. Links connect the material to a broader context and allow you to direct students to relevant articles and content from your digital interactive textbook. By including hyperlinks when you cite your sources, you can encourage students to dive deeper into the subject and do some non-required reading. It’s also a good way to include background information that might not otherwise fit in the text–simply link to additional material.
