Using iPad apps for content creation.

1. iPad in Education Part 2
Assoc. Prof. Dr Azmi Mohd Tamil (UKM)
partly based on lectures by
Assoc. Prof. Dr Azma Putra (UTeM)

2. Apple Distinguished Educators
Workshop 17th to 19th December 2015

3. Sharing the Knowledge
• Based on the 3 days of training with Dr Azma
Putra, I will divide the slides into 3 parts;
– Part 1 – Screencasting the iPad contents onto the
large screen using AirPlay.
– Part 2 – Using iPad apps to create teaching
materials (this presentation).
– Part 3 – Using iTunesU to share teaching materials
with students.

Part 2 – Creating content using iPad
apps

5. Caveat Lector
• I am a Windows & Android user. The first time I used
iPad Air 2 was during the workshop.
• I came in late on the first day since I had exams to
handle in HUKM Cheras, so I missed the introduction.
• The iPads that were handed out to us were Wi-Fi
connectivity only, so fast Wi-Fi is a must. Unfortunately
wi-fi UKM-Pelawat & wi-fi UKM-Warga were too slow.
So Dr Helmi Norman & myself converted our MacBook
Air/Win notebook into Wi-Fi routers for participants.
• For Win notebook users, you can convert your
notebook into a router by entering these into
command prompt (please change the wifiname/key);
– netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=wifiname
key=wifikey
– netsh wlan start hostednetwork

6. Introduction to iPad
• By the time I joined the class, everyone was
talking to Siri on their iPads, so I had a lot to
catch up. Luckily Dr Azma already posted the
following YouTube video on his iTunesU site.

Sharing with Students

12. PowerPoint Replacements
• As lecturers, we have come
to rely upon PowerPoint
slides to teach. It would be
difficult and painful to re-
do everything again in
another format such as
using Keynote.
• The fastest and easiest way
to reuse our previous
PowerPoint slides on iPad is
to upload them in Google
Drive, then open them
using Google Drive in iPad.
PowerPoint slide opened
within Google Drive on iPad.

13. PPoint Replacements -Keynote
• But if you are starting afresh
on iPad, you can use the
following apps.
– Keynote
– Prezi*
– Haiku Deck*
• Keynote is very similar to
PowerPoint, therefore very
easy to acclimatise yourself to
it.
• You can save the end product
as Keynote, .pdf or .ppt
format, to share with others.
You can even share through
iCloud.
• Check out Dr Azma Putra’s guide on how
to use Keynote on YouTube;

14. PPoint Replacements - Prezi
• It is basically a huge
canvas and you paste
anything that you want to
present onto that canvas.
• Then when you present,
you will zoom in and
zoom out from one part
of the canvas to another.
That is the oomph factor.
• Transition is smooth on
iPad, but sucks on my
Windoze web browser.
• Darn difficult for me to
create new frames for
new slides. So I was stuck
after the 6
th
slide.
• Check out the results of my attempt on
using Prezi on YouTube;
https://youtu.be/LfWnAZDiKHU

15. PPoint Replacements - Haiku Deck
• As you type in the words
for each slide, Haiku Deck
will suggest a suitable
background image based
on the words.
• Visually pleasant and easy
to use.
• But you have to pay in
order to export it into
.ppt, .pdf or Keynote
format.
• Check out the results of my attempt on
using Haiku Deck on YouTube;

16. Content Creation - Video
• For e-learning
enthusiast, just handing
out PowerPoint files is
not enough, somehow
we would like to include
the explanation by the
lecturer along with the
slides.
• So apps that enable us
to do so easily are
greatly appreciated.
• Some apps that were
covered in brief during
class;
– TouchCast
– Adobe Voice
– Doceri
– iMovie
– Explain Everything*

17. Video Creation – Touch Cast
• A touchcast video is a
video that is fully
browseable, responsive,
and interactive.
• You can combine various
materials such as
Keynote, .pdf files, web
links then annotate them
as you create an
interactive video.
• You can annotate a;
– webpage
– Video
– Images
– Map
– Presentation
– Or any of them together to
create either a touchcast
or an interactive video.
• Just put them into DropBox
& import into Touch Cast.

18. Video Creation – Touch Cast
• You can decide to record your video either with you
in it or without. I love using Touch Cast.
• Check out my first TouchCast video here;
https://youtu.be/cdS5_eVMjXI

19. Video Creation – Adobe Voice
• Adobe Voice is a free
iOS app that lets you
make an impact with an
amazing animated
video.
• Something like a
combination of Haiku
Deck & Prezi but you
end up with a beautiful
animated video of your
slides.
• Start by creating a slide,
record your voice, select a
image for background,
add graphics then add
some music. Do this again
and again until you finish
telling your story.
• Check out this video on
Adobe Voice

20. Video Creation – Doceri
• Doceri is an interactive
whiteboard and
screencast recorder
with tools for hand-
drawn graphics.
• You can import a series
of images into Doceri
then record your
explanation as you draw
upon the images to
illustrate your point.
• Very easy to use. Just
import the image, press
record and start
explaining. Draw lines
on the images as you
talk.

produced using Doceri

21. Video Creation – iMovie
• iMovie is a video editing
software application sold
by Apple Inc. for the Mac
and iOS (iPhone, iPad,
iPad Mini and iPod
Touch).
• It was originally released
in 1999 as a Mac OS 8
application bundled with
the first FireWire-enabled
consumer Mac model –
the iMac DV.
• It is very easy and fun to
use. Just pick a template,
insert or record the
relevant clips/images, put
in the explanatory titles
or text, then compile the
video. Good for selling
your course.
• Check out my video
produced using iMovie

22. Video Creation – Explain Everything
• Explain Everything is an
easy-to-use design, screen
casting, and interactive
whiteboard app that lets
you annotate, animate,
narrate, import, and export
almost anything to and from
almost anywhere.
• Unfortunately I can’t try it
out since it cost USD4
• Do check out

23. Content Creation - ebook
• Sometimes a
presentation is not
enough to give the
depth required for the
course. Instead we need
to hand out an ebook
for that.
• So we do need apps
that can create fun an
interactive ebooks.
• Some apps that were
covered in brief during
class;
– Adobe Slate
– iBooks

24. ebook Creation – Adobe Slate
• Adobe Slate looks like a fun tool to use. It will turn your
next publication into an animated gorgeous visual story.
• Just select the template, add in the images and text and
voila!, it is done.
• Check out https://youtu.be/cmOhIDwIlt4

25. ebook Creation – iBooks Author
• Dr Azma showed us his
own iBooks on Vibration
and it is a fabulous effort
with animation and
interactivity, created
using iBooks Author.
• iBooks is an e-book
reader application by
Apple Inc. available for
iPad, iPhone & Mac.
• iBooks Author is only
available for Mac with OS
X 10.6.6 or later.
• So with an iPad, you can
only read iBooks.
• To create iBooks, you
need a Mac with iBooks
Author.
• So get a Mac, bro. A
MacIntosh, not a BigMac.

26. Instant Assessment – Socrative
• The teacher uses Socrative Teacher to set the quiz.

27. Instant Assessment – Socrative
• Using Socrative Student, students enter the
classroom number and answer the quiz.

28. Instant Assessment – Socrative
• The Teacher will see the final marks on his screen.

29. Office Replacements
• It is hard to shift to a
new platform after
years of using Microsoft
Office.
• But for each of the main
apps, there is an
equivalent one in iPad.
• Do check them out. But
when presenting, only
Keynote is required.
• Office Replacement
Apps
– Keynote (PowerPoint)
– Numbers (Excel)
– Pages (Word)
– Paper 53 (Paint)
• Paper 53 is in fact is
like a bunch of papers
that you can write or
draw and show to
others. Just like paper.

30. Useful Tool – MyScript MathPad
• I teach statistics therefore I have difficulties in
writing math symbols on my slides.
• Dr Azma introduced me to MyScript MathPad
(math symbols) which helps me tremendously.
• You just write in freehand and the apps
change it into the appropriate math symbols
which you could copy and paste onto your
presentation.

31. Now my slide looks nice!
