Patrick Carman, an author who likes to marry print with multimedia has created 3:15 in his Washington studio. The 3 stands for listen, read, watch. The entire experience takes approximately 15 minutes. Thus, the name. The first "episode" is free, but others will be 99 cents. Here are the steps to the episode experience: Watch a short teaser. Listen to the intro. Read (middle-school-level reading) a short story. Most of these short stories will be scary. The first one made me tremble. Then watch the ending. This first one scared me to death. This, I predict, will be motivating for my students.
