Get to know your eBook (ePub format)

This clip introduces the basic layout and functions of the eBook.

Features highlight (ePub format)

Study units in ePub format provide a number of features to facilitate learning and enhance your reading experience. These include:

Built-in dictionary

This feature allows you to look up the meanings of words.

Highlighting and note-taking

This feature enables you to highlight important parts of the text (in several different colours), and to write notes as needed.

Book-marking

This feature makes it possible for you to add bookmarks to eBook pages.

Text-to-speech

This feature provides an audio version of all digital text(s).

Interactive activities

iBookcase ebooks provide interactive versions of activities that enable you to input and save your answers, as well as providing instant answer-checking and feedback.

Enriched multimedia content

One of the most powerful ebook functions is the integration of audio and video components into the text to help you learn more effectively.

Features highlight (pdf format)

Course materials in PDF format (study units for part-time students, lecture notes for full-time students, and so on) are provided in iBookcase. These files can be viewed via Adobe Acrobat Reader on your tablet (see 'other useful learning tools' for the download procedure). Although the PDF format of study units has fewer features than the ePub format, you will find the following functions very useful in your study:

Highlighting, strikethrough, and underlining
