## Abstract

A distributed network of computing equipment and software to configure and distribute education content to students, educators and administrators. The system comprises tablets, or other mobile devices for each student and educator, each uniquely identified within the system. Content from servers is securely distributed to the mobile devices accessed through a single sign on based on the requirements of each user both initially at the time they begin a program, and updated or removed during a particular course or program. The content includes education applications that provide interactive features with textbook material, practice, and assessments, the activity of which can be tracked and configured by the educators and administrators.

## Claims

### Claim at position 1

1-12. (canceled)

### Claim 13

An interactive education system comprising
content storage, the content storage containing a plurality of content objects, the content objects containing educational content connected as nodes in a non-linear manner;
a plurality of mobile interfaces, each authenticated to a student and each containing a subset of the content objects associated with the student, the mobile interface providing a display for accessing the content objects;
one or more educator interfaces, each authenticated to an educator, each educator interfaces associated with a plurality of the mobile interfaces based on a student information system.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The interactive system of claim 13 further comprising:
one or more administrative interfaces, the administrative interface connecting to the plurality of mobile interfaces, and the administrative interface configured to deploy, disable, enable, configure and update the plurality of mobile interfaces and educator interfaces.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

The interactive system of claim 13 wherein the content objects comprising content objects created by a first educator and used by a second educator by distributing the content object to the plurality of mobile interfaces associated with the second educator.

### Claim 16 (depends on 13)

The interactive system of claim 13 wherein the mobile interfaces are mobile devices, the mobile devices initialized with content and personal information associated with each student.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The interactive system of claim 16, wherein the mobile devices are re-used and re-initialized from a previous student using the mobile device.

### Claim 18 (depends on 13)

The interactive system of claim 13, further comprising a data store on which analytics of the mobile interface are stored and an analysis module which uses the stored analytics to provide content objects to the mobile interfaces of students which the analysis module determines provide improved outcomes.

### Claim 19 (depends on 13)

The interactive system of claim 13, further comprising a core application, the core application loaded on the mobile interfaces and displaying the content on the mobile interfaces.

### Claim 20

A method of deploying an interactive education system to students and educators for an institution, the method comprising:
initializing and configuring a mobile interfaces for each student using personal information associated with each student extracted from a student information system operated by the institution;
populating the mobile interfaces by storing content on the mobile interface, including content objects associated with the education to be provided by the institution to the student, by connecting each mobile interface with a content store and authenticating each mobile interface;
gathering usage information from the mobile interfaces on the progress and use of the mobile interface by each student, and using the usage information to provide content recommendations
wherein the content objects are connected as nodes in a non-linear manner.

### Claim 21 (depends on 20)

The method of claim 20, further comprising:
redeploying the mobile interfaces when the deployment for particular students are complete.

### Claim 22 (depends on 20)

The method of claim 20, further comprising:
supplying additional content, and populating at least a subset of the mobile interfaces with the additional content.

### Claim 23 (depends on 22)

The method of claim 22, wherein prior to the additional content being populated, receiving a request for the additional content from a student through the mobile interface and the additional content not being stored on the mobile interface.

### Claim 24 (depends on 22)

The method of claim 22, wherein the additional content is created by an educator.

### Claim 25 (depends on 23)

The method of claim 23, wherein the additional content is created by an educator.
