Student works through some preconfigured worksheet (capable of equations / formulae) on an iPad during the lab session. Supervisor has the ability to see all of the student’s individual documents from his iPad, and provide comments to the student as required over the wi-fi. Comments are ephemeral, and disappear once closed, must support a dialog between the student and supervisor. Supervisor can look in at any student’s doc at any time.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I want to tackle this with existing tools, or some very lightweight development to join up some technologies, not a custom built project from scratch.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
