The Sophie Project



For our final group project, we were struggling to find a platform that would allow us to accurately present our findings from this semester. Tumblr was too choppy, a Power Point didn't allow for easy reading, a traditional Word Document didn't allow for turning pages or incorporating multimedia.

Finally, I remembered using a digital book-authoring program called Sophie in another class freshman year, and decided it would be the perfect way to present our project. Sophie is a new program that allows you to put together a book that includes links to websites, videos, photos, even links that jump between pages or chapters.

What does everyone think about this kind of platform? With the popularity of readers like Kindle and Nook, it seems like someday soon all books will be presented in this type of mixed media.
