The tablet form factor, and specifically the iPad, have made a huge impact in people’s day to day lives. The iPad is a great tool for delivering content, and is especially suited for many different types of e-learning. Recently, LocalBeacon was used by a large medical device company to deliver e-learning content to physicians that were being trained on the companies products. The company packaged the content onto iPads and delivered the iPads to physicians for preparation before they came to the on-site training, and as a study guide throughout the course. The application had the following functionality:

• Ability to be used completely offline. This allowed physicians to prepare for the course while they were flying to the site.
• Ability to deliver video content, audio content and PDF white papers. The customer had to be able to quickly add and update coursework, while not having to update the actual app. The iPads were out in the fields with sales reps, and since the app was not available on the app store, it had to be updated “in the wild”.
• Ability to have rich surveys and quizzes. While a user watched a video, the application displays an interactive quiz with more intuitive feedback. This allowed the customer to create engaging content that kept the user interested.
• Full statistics – The application tracks what a user sees and what content they visit. It also tracks if they watch a video, and how much of the video they watched. This lets the customer continue to enhance their content to ensure that users are finding it interesting and engaging.
• Multiple course support – The application had to support multiple courses via one application that could easily be administered in the field. The customer can now create new courses on-demand for no additional costs, and have them delivered with no need to bring the iPads back or getting IT involved.
