EPOS – "Best App 2014" in the German app market – is the first popular science and history magazine for the digital age. Designed for the iPad, EPOS tells the great stories of mankind in the way they deserve to be told: With passion and visual appeal, with videos, audio recordings, interactive maps, and all of the opportunities technology offers us to bring the world’s knowledge to life. - EPOS 1 – "1914-1918 – The Kaiser’s War“ – tells the story of the First World War and the downfall of the German Empire in a completely new way. - EPOS 2 – “Happiness – Exploring our Deepest Desire,” – tells you inspiring and intriguing facts and stories about a strong human emotion. Still and moving images and illustrations make EPOS a far more impressive experience than a print magazine could ever offer. EPOS was designed by and for readers. You can navigate through the entire app by scrolling through the text on the left of your screen. All additional content is displayed when and where it adds to the text and enriches the story told in EPOS. EPOS concentrates on what really matters to offer you a vivid and captivating reading experience – the essence of good storytelling today, as it has always been throughout history. Please enable wifi on your iPad for the download. No online connection is required while using the app itself: Read, watch, and experience EPOS anywhere and anytime. This app requires iOS 7.1. EPOS unfortunately does not support older first generation iPads.

Read full description

Unter dem Leitgedanken „Vergangenheit erkunden – Geschichte konstruieren“ werden Bildungs- und Erlebnistouren, die einen inhaltlichen Bezug zu aktuellen Lehrplänen haben, zum Download auf mobile Endgeräte bereitgestellt. Die GPS-geführten Erkundungstouren sind nach modernen didaktischen Gesichtspunkten konzipiert und überwiegend problem- und kompetenzorientiert. Educaching Geschichte in der angebotenen Form erweitert die Möglichkeiten außerschulischen Lernens, befördert geschichts-kulturelle Kompetenz an authentischen Orten und schafft Verständnis für den historischen Wandel. Die Aufgabenstellungen ermöglichen schulform- bzw. altersspezifische Differenzierungen. Nach dem Download auf Handys oder Tablets suchen die Teilnehmenden, idealer Weise in Kleingruppen, verschiedene Stationen auf (POIs), entdecken regional- oder nationalgeschichtlich Bedeutsames und lösen auf dem Tablet befindliche Erkundungsaufgaben. Die auf dem Lernpfad erarbeiteten Ergebnisse können am Ende der Tour mit integrierten Lösungen verglichen werden. Auch spätere Auswertungen in der Großgruppe lassen sich organisieren. Unterbrechungen der vierstündigen Touren sind ebenso möglich wie nachträgliches Erkunden. Die Touren haben eine Gültigkeitsdauer von einem Jahr und können auch von anderen Personen der gleichen Einrichtung genutzt werden. Folgende Touren können gegenwärtig in unserem Shop erworben werden: - Otto von Guericke, Magdeburg und der Dreißigjährige Krieg - Martin Luther und die Reformation in Magdeburg - Otto der Große, Magdeburg und das Heilige Römische Reich - Jüdisches Leben in Magdeburg in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart - Magdeburg und der Erste Weltkrieg: Die Heimatfront Weitere Touren in Vorbereitung. Einfach Module im Shop erwerben und in der App freischalten.
