Ming Shih Academy & Baylor University
RePubIT is excited to be the digital platform behind a new interactive eTextbook for Baylor University College of Music’s pedagogy class – MUS1117 Violin for String Majors this fall semester 2021. We delivered a pilot release of the eTextbook to students and faculty who will provide valuable feedback, shaping the final release of the text to the marketplace. RePubIT will author an academic paper on this innovative approach to textbook publishing.
The Challenge: Renowned violin virtuoso Professor Anne Shih Meinz Academy her first textbook A Million Joyful Musicians© the Ming Shih Method© detailing her innovative teaching methodology for young violin students. Anne partnered with RePubIT to produce her book as an interactive media-rich eTextbook. Written for teachers and parents, future instructors can observe Anne, her peers, and students actively demonstrating various Ming Shih Methods through more than 250 videos and images.
The textbook is designed for use on computers, tablets, and mobile devices. RePubIT’s fixed layout, reflowable mobile, and instant audio ebook

The Savings and Internal Lending Communities (SILC) and the Marketing Basics titles are resources and eLearning modules that are used to certify trainers and help them deliver instruction to smallholder farmers in remote locations all around the world. Making technical information and training available and effective in remote regions lacking network infrastructure, is already being beneficial to developing countries — and to our product development at home.

Gistics for RealWear
“The End of the Beginning of the Information Revolution”
“Delivering on the Promise of Productivity from the Internet of Things”
The RealWear Head-Mounted Android Tablet (HMT-1) is undoubtedly one of the most innovative and accomplished product offerings of the year. RePubIT’s consulting partner Gistics has published an interactive Executive Primer white paper which delineates the business outlook for this emergent field of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). This forms a valuable theoretical companion to the wealth of practical information on IIoT Pioneer Projects conveyed at the RealWear Summit 2017 event.
Apply Synergies Performance Support
“Most organizations are not ready for the Apply moment of need.” However, as we are hearing at HR and Talent Management conferences over and over, “Learning in the flow of work,” “at the moment of need” is the way training will be done in this highly mobilized workplace. RePubIT has worked with founder Conrad Gottfredson to develop an online, on-demand package for training corporations to deliver knowledge in the flow of work. While doing so it became obvious to the team RePubIT Digital’s content delivery platform is an ideal and very cost-effective platform on which to deliver training at the moment of need.
