There’s an app for that! Whereas once Flash was the de facto standard for interactive web content, the rise of iOS and it’s lack of Flash support means that there is a new kid on the block in Hype from Tumult Systems.

This new app that makes creating engaging and interactive HTML 5 content a breeze, can also be used to create the interactive elements that you see in iBooks created using Apple’s new iBooks Author application.

Mac users are not excluded as Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac provides fidelity to the Windows version for the handling of Word documents, Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations.

Using Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac it’s easy to create powerful, compelling and most importantly compatible files from the comfort of your Mac.

Regardless of whether you are a recent switcher or a long time Mac user there’ll be plenty on show to educate and entertain in this webinar.
