It's an iPad program for teachers and students. If a school has a iPad cart, the iPads are distributed to a class of students and then the teacher uses his/her iPad to push PPt's, movies, documents to the students individual iPads.

The teacher obtains a roster of students participating and see how each is doing with the lesson tasks.
