One more nice thing about using Hype to create your iBook Author widgets is that you can combine different resources. This would have been useful with the flipped classroom I used two years ago. As I was showing iBook author to a colleague she liked the idea of having everything in one space for the students. I think this takes it one step further. I can take an iframe embed of a video using any source from Youtube to Vimeo and place it in a Hype HTML widget object. Then beside it I can add an embed of a Google form that I can use to have students answer some questions about the video. Although I could add the video to the Google Form this is more flexible as not all video content is on Youtube!!

When ready I can export it from Hype as a iBook Author Widget and add it to my iBook.
The video below shows this in action.
