Permission
• - Requires video content to be embedded into
document. This would create a very large file that may
not be able to send/receive through emails.
• Online:
• + Smaller file
• + External links directly accessed
• + Video content can be updated and kept current, with
same url we can replace content.
• - Accessed online only, worry that would be mini
website instead of handbook.
• Suggestion:
• Mix of both: e-Handbook designed as pdf linking to
videos online (stored on the networks website) and
external links to other sources eg similar to iTunes U.
QUESTION: More than one entry from each partner???
iTunes U
Learn anything, anywhere, anytime
Integrates with iBooks and other apps to provide online courses for students. NetQ6 e-Handbook
could use the website to enable users to download video and content separately to user computers.

Formats
• Different e-readers on all devices, each specialise in
one format eg PDFs, ePubs and KF8 or mobi (Kindle
readers).
• PDFs most common format as can be open in a
number of devices (laptops, PCs, Macs and mobile
devices).
• Preparing a responsive design document: enables
users to access document on different
devices/screen sizes but with the same user
experience. In terms of the e-handbook, we will need
to create the design to suit a number of different
resolutions i.e. create more than one size.

After content is collated from each partner,
evaluated and proofed by WP7, it will be
designed in InDesign, published as PDF and
ePub and promoted within the marketplace (next
slide).
Design:
• Designing the handbook will give us another
valuable opportunity to showcase the network
brand.
• We can also cater the design for different
screen sizes.
• Promote on website and ensure material can
be accessed.

Examples
• eBooks/handbooks: Popular for text only to
make reading easier for user. e-Handbooks
now becoming more design savvy, with
colours, images inserts.
• Interactive PDFs with video can be max 6
pages, usually designed to advertise a
company/product. However our handbook is to
show quality practice content, with a number of
videos and visual content, so would be too big
to have all embedded in one document
(assuming we have more than one best
practice for each partner and that this
handbook can grow over time).
• NetQ6 E-handbook is interactive and unique as
includes video etc.
