In this iBook on eBenefits, I applied instructional design principles to create an innovative digital learning environment that engages and supports learning.  I wrote and published this iBook while I was working at the Polk County Veteran Service Office.  I was the resident expert on eBenefits, which is the online portal that allows veterans to apply for and show proof of their benefits.  Unfortunately, the website is a bit obtuse and difficult to navigate, particularly for those who are none too comfortable with technology to begin with.  Veterans would often come to me from all across the county to get help trying to get what they need form the eBenefits portal and being a rural county, it takes some of them quite a while to get to the office. I was convinced that there must be a better way to teach veterans and veteran service providers to effectively use eBenefits.  During my Instructional Design course, I was met with the prospect of publishing and iBook and decided that this would be a good way to get information out to the masses.  I published the book you  see below on the Apple iBooks store which you can still find there if you search for it or you can watch the video for a preview of how the iBook version functions.
