"Teachers use our Content Management Website to select existing courses or to create new courses by mixing and matching items from our library with their own educational material. * Students use our iPad or Android, or web app to download and view these courses, filled with videos, slideshows, e-books, PDFs, text, audiobooks, and Web links. Whether reading the latest e-book that has been assigned or watching a video for the next homework assignment, students will feel more engaged and in charge of their learning."

great, short list of, mostly, web-based tools for writing/storytelling from a masscue2013 workshop.
