Apple’s iBooks Textbooks and iTunes U Course Manager are now available in many more countries across the world, including Malta.

iBooks Textbooks brings interactive content to teachers and students in 51 countries while iTunes U Course Manager is now available in 70 countries, giving educators the opportunity to create and distribute courses for their own classrooms, or share them publicly, on the iTunes U app.

Apple said iBooks offers iPad users “gorgeous, full screen textbooks with interactive animations, rotating 3D diagrams, flick-through photo galleries and tap-to-play videos. iBooks Textbooks don’t weigh down a backpack, can be updated as events unfold and don’t need to be returned. With nearly 25,000 educational titles created by independent publishers, teachers and leading education services companies, including new educational content from Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press and Hodder Education, iBooks Textbooks now cover 100 per cent of US high school core curriculum and the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) core curriculum in the UK”.

With iTunes U Course Manager, educators can quickly and easily share their knowledge and resources directly with their class or to a global audience on iTunes U. This free iOS app gives millions of learners access to the world’s largest online catalogue of free educational content from top schools, leading universities and prominent institutions. iTunes U Course Manager also gives teachers the ability to integrate their own documents as part of course curriculum, as well as content from the internet, hundreds of thousands of books on the iBooks Store, over 750,000 materials from existing iTunes U collections, or any of the more than one million iOS apps available on the revolutionary App Store, Apple said.

Apple products are available in Malta from iCentre, an Apple Authorised Service Provider, and authorised resellers.
