Outstanding interactive mobile E-learning to boost students learning

The development of digital publishing has changed the way we used to read, from print material to electronic devices. In the meantime, it has revolutionized the educational landscape, making it more digitalized. That is what we call "Time of E-learning". Compared with traditional learning, E-learning creates more possibilities that can boost students' learning interest and passion. And below I will talk about how E-learning can effectively interact with students in three ways.


Mobile E-learning

Mobile E-learning provides teachers and other educators with the ability to migrate their pedagogy to not only the web but also mobile devices. And now they are able to create lively story book for children and let them run smoothly on the mobile. This enables students to gather themselves on learning in their favorite means. The youngsters love to engage in their learning on iPads, iPhones, tablets, smart phones and other mobile devices. What's more important is that this mobile learning solution allows students to take up learning anytime and anywhere.


Interactive E-learning

Mobile E-learning creates great convenience for both educators and students, making E-learning more easily to be carried out. Yet E-learning should not be limited at an "electronic" level, it can be fun. Making the E-learning more interactive will raise students' interests in learning. Page flip technology and rich media are effective ways to leverage the interactivity between the digital teaching publication and students. And this interactive effect can be realized by dynamic PDF publishing tools like Flip PDF Pro.




Reading experience

One important thing that we should never ignore is user experience. And this is of no exception for E-learning, but here we'd like to call it "reading experience" for students. Everything of the E-learning stuff should be designed to make readers feel at ease. For one thing, the E-learning publications should be responsive to cross-screen so readers can read the publications without deformity. For another, scaling or zooming based on vector technology would be a lubricative solution for a nice reading experience.

Flipbook VS PDF: why the interactive reading experience is so important?

For some time, PDF as a new way for content delivery has been proved to be convenient and effective. PDF documents, as known to us, take small space in the digital format yet they contain a large amount of information. And because of its advantages, PDF has been used as eBook, e-Catalog, e-Magazine, e-Brochure and kind of that. However, that is a past tense when there were no other better solutions and as a matter of fact, PDF file has its drawbacks.



What are the disadvantages of PDF files?

# Lack of interactivity – all content is written in plain pages
# Must-have installation of Adobe Reader – require a third-party software
# Insufficiency of flexibility – not easy to edit and update content
# Unsearchable text content – the content is not SEO friendly
# Poor user experience – need to scroll down to read


Nowadays, as technology develops, people's needs increase as well. Reading a dull PDF magazine or catalog is quite boring, and readers will away from your publication because it fails to offer interactive reading experience. However, a flipbook can spare you all these troubles. By converting your PDF to flash magazine, flipbook, or page flipping catalog, you can make your publication more attractive and interactive, therefore, inspiring readers to read your content.


So how can flipbooks attract readers? From the original purpose, PDF to flipbook converters is to convert PDFs to flash publications with interactive page flip reading experiences, making publications more engaging and fashionable. Content is no longer written in endless scrolling pages, but in impressive and realistic page turning pages that give readers an experience of reading real books. And flipbooks allow readers to read through the whole book in various navigation ways: mouse drag, mouse wheel, page turn buttons, thumbnails, etc. Besides, flipbooks can delight readers with rich media, video, audio, image gallery, flash, text and so on. In additional, the flipbook can reach global readers via Internet, all readers need is a connected browser. And the content of flipbooks is searchable text, which means the content is SEO friendly and is easily crawled by search engines and readers.
