Since the rise of tablets, we’ve eagerly anticipated interactive medical textbooks. Now with Inkling’s interactive textbook platform for iPad, our dreams may finally come true! Ganong’s Review of Medical Physiology marks the inaugural in a new series of medical books to be released online. As one of the standard textbooks on
physiology for medicine, this book represents an ideal starting point. With interactive illustrations, videos and integrated assessment capabilities – Ganong’s Review of Medical Physiology makes an impressive first impression! Annotation features are fully integrated, eliminating one of the main drawbacks associated with other electronic books. Another key advantage is being able to purchase individual chapters rather than paying full price for an entire book that you might only use a portion of; whole books start from $64.99 while individual chapters can be bought for as little as $1.99; this could potentially save students thousands!
Chapter 4, entitled “Excitable Tissue: Nerve”, is one of several sample chapters Inkling offers users for free download to better understand how its textbook operates. When clicking a chapter, blocks of content appear that highlight all available multimedia features, with intuitive swiping back and forth to navigate between blocks – an intuitive experience!
