At first glance Inkling is an impressive experience. After swiping into the iPad app , which you can get for free here, he opens up a few different types of textbooks.
Up first is a chemistry book. The boot time is pretty fast, and he navigates through a few chapters before swiping into a fully rendered 3D molecule that can be spun around to view its various building blocks. Publishers give us all of the source media, artwork, videos, he says. We help them think through how to actually build something for this platform.
Next he pulls up a music composition textbook, complete with playable demos. Its a learning experience that attacks you from multiple sensory directions. Its clear why this would be something a music major would love.
But the most exciting part about Inkling, to me, is its notation system. Heres how it works:
When you purchase a used print book, it comes with its previous owners highlights and notes in the margins. It uses the experience of someone who already went through the class to help improve your reading .
But with Inkling, you can highlight a piece of content and make notes. Heres where things get interesting, though: If a particularly important passage is highlighted by multiple Inkling users, that information is stored on the cloud and is available for anyone reading the same textbook to come across. That means users have access to notes from not only their classmates and Facebook friends, but anyone who purchased the book across the country. The best comments are then sorted democratically by a voting system, meaning that your social learning experience is shared with the best and brightest thinkers.
