Introduction
SSSC have developed a range of eBooks in Apple iBook format (for iPad and Mac computers) and ePub format) for Android tablets and Windows PCs or Chromebook devices. You can see the full range of eBooks on the Available eBooks page.
As you will see, many of the eBooks listed have been available in the past as either iPad or Android tablet apps. Last year we began the process of updating these apps and converting them to eBooks as this format increases access to the resources by making them available on computers as well as tablet devices. Converting them to eBooks also means that we’ll be able to update them more frequently as practice changes.
Although our eBooks are now accessible on computers and Chromebook devices, we would actively discourage viewing them on laptop or desktop computers as most of the learning activities included in them assume that the book is being worked through on a tablet device. This is a deliberate design decision as it is our desire to maximise the transfer of learning from the book to practice and, being able to do the learning in the environment where it will be applied has been shown to be the most effective way of doing that. So, we would suggest that using a tablet device will give the best learning experience with these books.
