Abstract

An uninterrupted learning uses a touch screen display device when connections to networks are unavailable or unstable. The touch screen display device is equipped with short range and long range communication capabilities in addition of capable being a WiFi hotspot. The touch screen display device incorporates the features of both the adaptive server and the teacher device. The adaptive server feature in the touch screen display device can communicate with a remote server through a local area network and switch to a cellular telecommunication network when the local area network is unavailable. The adaptive server can also act as the WiFi base station and accept connections from nearby student devices.
