In session two, we took a deeper look under the hood of the ePub3 file format. We first disassembled an ePub3 file, examining each of its components and how they work together to produce a quality reading experience. Members compared the HTML styles produced by epub conversion vendors to the Fixed Layout ePub3 export from Adobe’s latest InDesign CC release. I remain duly impressed with the visual quality and accuracy Adobe has achieved. In addition, we also examined new capabilities enabled by the ePub3 specification – Analytics and Interactivity. • Three elements in ePub3 ecosystem • ePub3 • Reader • Authoring Tools • Production Process (Nano-tech project) • Networked ePub3 & xAPI LRS “Learning Record Store” • InDesign ePub3 Inner Workings
