The Communications Team has just set up a new way to view Police World on-line. In a direct response to
member feedback the Team looked at possible ways of improving the on-line experience for readers.
T
he Team have now published the first
digital magazine through the Flipping
Book interface. This technology
allows the reader to view a digitally animated
version of the magazine that looks and feel
like the real thing; from flipping through the
pages with optional page turn sounds and
even realistic spine shading all adding to a
highly engaging reader experience.
Once converted the digital magazine is
suitable for viewing on your desktop pc,
laptop, mobile, tablet and e-Reader devices.
The reader can view embedded videos, listen
to related audio clips and also has the ability
to click through to further information when
internet links and email addresses are seen.
Readers can use the search facility to explore
the magazine finding relevant key words or
phrases, they can zoom into any page – for
details of this see the notes in Control Panel
Guide (right).
Read on for a step by step guide on
using this new platform.
Step 1:
Firstly visit:
World
to view the back catalogue of Police
World. Click on the image of the latest Edition
and a page will open that looks like the one
shown in fig 1.
Step 2:
Click the full-screen button, which is
located centrally in the control panel and
directly underneath the image of the
magazine, the page opens up into a larger
view that is both easier to read and to
navigate.
If you hover the mouse over the control panel
icons - the purpose of each icon will be
displayed with a pop up description.
With the full-screen icon clicked the page will
now look like this one shown in fig 2.
Step 3:
You are now free to browse through
the magazine. Don’t worry you don’t have to
read it all in one go as there is a handy
bookmark facility housed in the Control Panel.
Here readers will also find a handy print
button.
There are other icons or buttons within the
control panel to further assist the reader. See
the Control Panel Guide for details.
