Kno adds 3D and multimedia to etextbook app   no comments

Kno has added 3D and multimedia to its Textbooks for iPad app.  According to Kno the 3D feature “makes it easier for students to grasp difficult concepts byKno-adds-3D-to-its-digital-etextbooks instantly turning 2D figures into interactive 3D models that jump off the page.”

Initially the 3D feature (which is still a beta version) will be in chemistry textbooks.  The 3D views should help students to better understand complex and abstract figures by allowing them to rotate and zoom 360-degree views of objects.

The Smart Links feature, which is also in beta, enables links in Kno’s digital textbooks to free educational videos and other material from Khan Academy, websites and links to related material in other digital textbooks.
