Objectives
• Understand how iBeaconscommunicate with mobile devices
• Discuss the differences between iBeacon and Eddystone
• Evaluate existing training activities for location-aware components
• Determine methods for using iBeacon in your training programs
What is an iBeacon?
What is an iBeacon?
iBeacon

Proximity vs. Ranging
PROXIMITY
RANGING
Each iBeacon is special
• UUID - brand of device (like MAC)
• Major
• Minor
• TxPower – Strength of Transmission
• Advertising Interval – How often
Designing your iBeacon project
Common questions:• What do I want to accomplish? How does
location effect my goals?• Does the location of my learners affect
their ability to learn?• How many locations do I need to make
iBeacon-enabled
Purchasing your Beacons
• Estimote is market leader– Stickers, Location, and Standard
• Discount Beacons (AliExpress)– Battery-powered– USB– AC (risk)
• RadBeacon
Interacting with your content
• How does the location of the learner augment the learning experience?
• What additional benefits can you capitalize on when adding location-context to the learning interaction?
Developing your app
• How will you track your learner’s progress?– Google Drive (Lectora)– Tin Can (xAPI)
• Significant Code Lift
• How will you develop your content?
