Wiley Publishing, Inc. and Modality Bring Interactive Literature Study Guides to iPhone™ and iPod touch® Modality, Inc. and Wiley Publishing, Inc. announced that CliffsNotes® literature study guide applications are available on the Apple App Store. Five individual apps, the first in a series of more than forty, provide comprehensive character, theme and plot summaries and analysis, interactive quiz features, and audio CramCasts covering the following works of literature: - The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
- Macbeth by William Shakespeare
- Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
- The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
- To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Modality's content architects created two distinct review modes to allow for a more customizable study experience. A prescriptive "Cram Plan," created by the experts at CliffsNotes, orders the content of the app to maximize even small increments of study time. A more traditional e-reader interface presents the app's complete content in a fashion similar to that of the printed literature notes. Additional features that leverage the innovative Multi-Touch User Interface and revolutionary capabilities of iPhone and iPod touch include: - Multiple-choice quiz to assess mastery of the material
- Text-highlighting to note important sections for further review
- Interactive map links character associations and profiles for quick reference
- Audio plot summaries play in the background while the user engages with other app features
