# Kamedia GPS Format - Version 1.3 #
################################################################################
================================================================================
Description
================================================================================
The GPS Format allows e-learning content to be displayed according to
the geo coordinates of the learner. This enables location-based mobile learning.
In events like a city rally, the learner walks between predefined locations
using a smartphone or tablet PC. At these stations the learner gets certain
information and tasks that are directly related to the location. All conceivable
Moodle content like text, pictures, videos or tests can be used. The trainer is
able to integrate new content at his desktop PC, by simply creating a new Moodle
course. The GPS format largely matches the popular topics format. Every topic
section can contain different material or activities. In a second step specific
topic sections can be assigned to the corresponding GPS coordinates where they
should be visible. After the installation of the course format "GPS
Format", Moodle courses can be created in the new format and existing courses
can be transferred into the new format with only one click.
