// **Abstract** // The iPad is changing the learning experience, making it more engaging, interactive and completely mobile. With features you won't find on any other educational device, iPad inspires creativity and hands-on learning. Powerful apps let students engage with content in interactive ways, find information in an instant, and access an entire library wherever they go. iBooks textbooks involve students in a dynamic, Multi-Touch experience full of interactive diagrams, animations, photos and video all designed specifically for iPad. iTunes U gives faculty and students a powerful way to create and take courses. And now, everyone can create their own beautiful, Multi-touch books and learning materials for iPad, with iBooks Author, a free app from the Mac App Store.

In this session you'll get an overview of amazing apps for teaching and learning, see interactive iBooks textbooks built with iBooks Author, and learn how iTunes U gives educators powerful tools to develop and distribute courses featuring audio, video, books and other content. Please join us to discover how iPad is changing the classroom.
