Discover book paths – an adventurous trip

Discover book paths - an adventurous trip

Mark Twain’s vision is empowered by the interactive book-format that both speed up the navigation back and forth, as well as simplifies the iReader’s efforts to discover her individual book path. This e.g. in comparison to a “course” where the term in itself and how it is managed forms a one-way-street through the content. In this sense, the book’s multifaceted aspects are definitely a format for the digital age, while a course assembly-line process is more of the industrial age.

An empowering solution - #FridayMotivation

“The solution often turns out more beautiful than the puzzle.”

Richard Dawkins

Our platform for integrated storytelling and interactive books is a great example of this. As the original vision was to bring engaging interactivity into the book-format with multimedia and simple tasks with feedback. The empowering solution after loads of work now includes total integration of gamification features, an AI Storyteller that reads the text (of course it is possible to use human voices too), interactive videos etc. etc. Soon it will also include augmented reality features.

Making Creativity Work - #MondayInspiration

“He who loves practice without theory
is like the sailor who boards a ship
without a rudder and compass
and never knows where he may cast.”

Leonardo Da Vinci

Leonardo wrote and drew more than 5000 pages of notes and sketches about everything that came to his mind. The keys to his methods are based on practice, theory and visualisation to making creativity work. Where you according to Leonardo should start to work on detail after detail in order to create a whole “image”. We highly recommend to read Walter Isaacson’s biography about Leonardo since it gives a very insightful review about his life, work and methods.

Making creativity work with the 6iModel

Leonardo’s notebooks also formed an important pillar when developing the 6iModel, whose purpose is to work as a “rudder and compass” to all kinds of projects where creativity is the driving force. The 6iModel is described in the book “Learning Design in Practice for Everybody” by LarsGoran Bostrom   It is available in many bookstores and the printed hardcover edition can be ordered directly from the B-InteraQtive Publishing.

A Writers Iceberg - #inspirationalquote

“If a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water.”

Ernest Hemingway

… or to use Charles Dickens words:

“An idea, like a ghost, must be spoken to a little before it will explain itself.”

Truman Capote

Finding that unique perspective will write your story. The explorative journey of finding and adapt it to your own prerequisites is a vital part of the writing challenge.  Happy Summer Writing!
