Apple’s New York education event on January 19th could launch the iTextbook

apple itextbook rumour education event new york

The rumour of the iTextbook which made the rounds last week looks to be bearing fruit, with Apple officially announcing an education-themed event at the Guggenheim museum in New York City on January 19th.

It’s highly unlikely that any new hardware will be unveiled, but Steve Jobs’ vision of reinventing the textbook could be fulfilled.

We're expecting to see an event focused on a distribution deal with publishers to make the purchasing of educational materials as easy as buying an app from the App Store.

Will it be enough to satiate our desire for an official iPad 3 announcement? We’ll find out come Thursday next week…

I think it will be a great success, especially for those who follow online criminal justice masters programs, who are always on the move and need easy to get information at all times...

This new technology would help students. After the advent of e-learning they are having the best opportunities. Along with general courses they can do professional courses too online. A friend of mine is doing special education teacher certification.
