iBeacons

5 learning concepts

Monday, 14 October 13
iBeacons is a new feature of
iOS7 that allows mobile devices to be
accurately located inside buildings.
This opens up the possibility of creating a
new generation of location-based learning
content.

In practice, this means that when a user is
near a ‘beacon’ content can be ‘pushed’
to their iPhone or iPad.
Because ‘beacons’ are small, low cost
and low power devices it’s now possible to
trigger ‘learning events’ anywhere in your
workplace.

We believe that iBeacons will provide a
great way to connect with audiences,
delivering content, services and
performance support as users need it.
The following slides show how this new
technology can be used in learning.
