From small interactive quizzes embedded in a course webpage to complex animations in textbooks, the possibilities are nearly endless. Creating Interactive Educational Content Tumult Hype animations are great for demonstrating difficult concepts and organizing information.We’re pleased to share that Tumult Hype was voted the “Best Third-Party Complement to iBooks Author.” In Nashville we were lucky to meet teachers, animators, and authors who. Tumult Hype voted best complement to iBooks Author! We just returned from beautiful Nashville, Tennessee where we presented at the iBooks Author Conference.Related: Guide to importing Hype content in InDesign for Book Creation. Read his guest post on his Welcome to Tallowmere project. Thanks to Trevor Young of Tapocketa Studio for introducing us to PubCoder. We’re looking forward to see what you create! PubCoder’s Interface We wrote a guide for getting your Hype content into PubCoder, and our new friends at PubCoder also published a guide. Getting your Hype exports into PubCoder is very easy, and exporting to an iBook or Epub is a one-button process. We were pleased to come across a powerful book creation tool where HTML5 content (and Hype exports) are supported called PubCoder. But it’s also not so great: Pages does not at this time support any HTML content, so Hype animations won’t work in it unless you export your animations as a non-interactive video. Pages is even more powerful than iBooks Author and has enormous benefits for creating Epubs and iBooks. But there’s some big changes coming with iBooks Author: the book-creation tools are moving to Pages in Apple’s ecosystem: Looking back on this time we’re happy to have helped so many creative people achieve their visions. IBooks Author was particularly empowering to animators, writers, and artists creating stories and animations because it was so easy to create great looking content without the complexity of digital publishing workflows and overly-complex layout tools. There’s several more examples on this page of iBook examples, this post featuring animators and graphic artists and many more in our gallery. While Hype animators don’t always tell us what they’re working on, we began seeing incredible animated books like Noa’s Stars by Somoiso and The Slightly Annoying Elephant by David Williams & illustrated by Tony Ross.
This empowered storytellers to embed rich HTML content and animations in their books and distribute them globally.
In 2012 we built in support for embedding Hype content in the new iBooks Author tool created by Apple. At Tumult, we’ve supported digital book creators for years.
