It started with the new iPad which, with its hi-res retina screen, is capable of resolving detail almost as capably as print. In fact, in many ways the iPad experience is preferable to print: You don’t have to make a physical purchase. There is no Newsstand app for Mac/PC and there should be.

The experience that millions of people have had over the past few years of working with high resolution mobile devices (my third generation iPad has the same resolution as my 27" iMac!) It used to be that mobile learning was thought of as something quite separate from e-learning - a parallel path for learning technologies.

Unfortunately, my contacts, along with my calendar, are synched to my laptop, my iPhone and my iPad using MobileMe, which means all four copies would soon be emptied. An automated upgrade to M/S Office on my Mac for some reason deleted all my contacts. I just managed to make a backup on my laptop before that moment came and restored my Mac.

This is a big deal, because iPads and iPhones don't support Flash. Given that every other delegate here is using an iPad rather than a laptop, you can see how important it is to get this right. I think there are photo-based characters as well. It exports to HTML 5 as well as Flash, although I'm not sure they've perfected this yet.

As you would expect, this is a lavishly illustrated book, so it won't read well on a Kindle (but might do on the new, hi-res iPad). It's called White Space is not Your Enemy and it's by Kim Golombisky and Rebecca Hagen (Focal Press 2010). Written for the beginner, the book covers all aspects of graphic design, from print to web.

Right at the moment, with resources really tight, efficiencies are important and new media provide one of your best routes to achieving these.
