1) Become familiar with Apple’s free ebook authoring tool, iBooks Author. 2) Create a sample radiology ebook during the course. 3) Learn how to freely share your ebook with others.

The iPad is rapidly becoming the de facto learning tool used by radiology residents and fellows. iBooks Author, a free authoring tool from Apple, enables the creation of ebooks with a near-limitless number of high-resolution images, movies, and other interactive elements. Unfortunately, most radiologists lack the expertise to leverage the advantages of this application. This hands-on workshop will cover the basics of iBooks Author. During the course, attendees will create their own interactive radiology ebook and learn how to freely share it with anyone who has an iPad. iBooks author is only available for Mac OS and bringing your own Mac is required for the hands-on portion of the course. Attendees are encouraged to download iBooks Author prior to attending; the link is provided below. Attendees are also encouraged to come with an idea for their own iBook, ideally with a text file and folder of images they would like to turn into an ebook during the course. Sample text and images will be provided for those who do not bring their own material.
