FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
APPLE, iPADS, AND AUDIO RECORDING
World languages publisher solves industry challenge, brings audio recording to iPads
Freeport, Maine—Wayside Publishing, a leader in world languages textbook publishing, has released a new
iOS app
for enrolled users of its newly redesigned online learning management system, the Learning Site.
“We have received rave reviews of our newly launched Learning Site, however, Apple’s decision not to allow access to
the microphone from a browser on the iPad meant many of our one-to-one technology schools were unable to access the full functionality of the Learning Site,” Wayside Publishing President Greg Greuel said.
Greuel’s solution was an iOS app that makes available all the functions and features of the Learning Site on the iPad
and iPhone—including voice recording activities.
“Now all of our customers can experience the wonders of the Learning Site,” Greuel said.
The free app is available in the
App Store and through iTunes now.
Once users have created their accounts and are enrolled in their courses through a browser on their device or computer,
they can use the app to do everything else, IT Manager Deb Penham explained.
Enrolled users of the Learning Site can download the app and log in right away.
“We are so proud and excited to offer this to our users,” Penham said.
In December, Wayside Publishing completely redesigned the Learning Site, creating a fully-responsive, clutter-free experience for
students and teachers. New features include notifications, student invitations, and grading enhancements—and the publisher plans for more to come.
Through independent and collaborative language learning tools, students using the Learning Site can practice all modes of communication
at their own pace and within their own comfort zones, 24/7.
Teachers get the tools they need to provide personalized attention and precise feedback to students.
