Digital Magazines for E-Learning #58: Challenge | Recap
The Daily
My all-time favorite digital magazine was The Daily. It did a really great job integrating video, multimedia, embedded interactions, and clickable graphics into news stories.
Unfortunately, The Daily closed in late 2012. You can view a video overview of the app on YouTube.
WIRED
Another magazine app I subscribe to is WIRED. They don’t include as much multimedia as The Daily, but they do a really good job re-using interactive templates.
National Geographic
I haven’t looked at this app in a while but they’re always mentioned as one of the better interactive magazines. Last week Kimberly Bourque shared some screenshots from a recent issue. Subscription: activated.
