Film + Book = Filmbook® mobile learning. Well, that sounds simple, doesn’t it? The Filmbook concept is simple. Elegantly simple. And undeniably effective.
Filmbook is an iOS mobile platform designed for learning performance-based skills. It’s also the name of the education technology company that creates and publishes Filmbook apps.
Our apps drive learning and deepen competence. You’ll find them to be beautifully designed, logically organized, and easy-to-use.
Filmbook Platform
Our mobile learning platform is flexible and can emphasize either films or a built-in book. Let’s look at both examples.
Lead with the film
Example: The Filmbook® State Board app
Here, there’s one longer film for each class, and it’s the main feature on the home screen. This featured film provides a full look at the subject matter.
We have linked specific timecodes in the film to book procedures and to questions. The result?
Students can swipe up on the corner of the film at any time—to pause it and read the underlying book. Also, each question automatically pauses the film (at the designated timecode). Once the student answers that question, the film resumes.
Two screens from the Filmbook State Board app. Here, the film leads, and the book tracks along underneath, a swipe away.Lead with the book
Example: The Filmbook® Cosmetology app
Here the book is the main feature on the home screen. So we placed the films directly inside the book pages. Each film appears as a single book page with a play button.
We found that leading with the book is better when you have multiple short films that enhance specific sections of the book.
Also, we created a film library page. This shows all the films, categorized by topic.
Several screens from the Filmbook Cosmetology app. Here, the book leads and the films are placed (where they’re relevant) inside the pages of the book.Two Filmbook Products on the App Store
