The evolution of learning and the spark of ingenuity

Since the 50's the format for education has changed little. Whether it's high school, college or corporate learning the format for conveying knowledge has always involved written text and only recently started to include interactive media.

With the launch of iBooks Author, rich interactive learning experiences replace what was once static text. As we dive into the product the possibilities of it across both the .EDU and Corporate learning environments are palpable. The Learning Management space has seen a lot of consolidation and has not offered much in the way of differentiation. For the company who can leverage what Apple has produced here and put forth a product that integrates it with a Learning Management System, the possibilities are significant.
