From the Wall Street Journal:
While the notoriously secretive Apple remains mum about its education announcement Thursday at New York’s Guggenheim museum, the company is expected to unveil textbooks optimized for the iPad and that feature ways to interact with the content, as well as partnerships with publishers.
McGraw-Hill Cos., Pearson and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt are among the education-publishing companies most likely affected by an Apple textbook announcement. McGraw-Hill has been working with Apple on its announcement since June, a person familiar with the matter said.
As a college student with an iPad this could be huge.
Absolutely agreed. I cannot wait to see what they announce on Thursday (and I seriously hope that there is some amazing iBooks news too).
As someone with an iPad who just finished college I’d like to say that I’m jealous, but even iPad textbooks couldn’t make me go back.
A master’s however…
