Information infrastructure software provider Mark Logic Corporation, US, has announced that academic and professional publisher Kaplan Publishing has built a new iOS application using MarkLogic Server as the platform beneath a customised digital content reader developed by Bluefire Productions. Kaplan Mobile allows registered students to download a free electronic copy of their course books to their mobile devices. The application is available for download for free from the Apple iTunes Store for all iOS devices.
MarkLogic and Bluefire Productions were able to deliver the application within an aggressive twelve-week timeframe and still accommodate late-breaking business requirements.
After downloading the free Kaplan Mobile application, users simply log-in with their Kaplan account and will be shown relevant course materials available for download. Kaplan customers are able to sync their accounts with up to two mobile devices. Currently, the application allows students to access full course content for its GRE, GMAT, and MCAT courses, as well as digital copies of its PSAT, SAT, GRE, and GMAT retail test prep books.
MarkLogic Server is a database that allows organisations to address issues associated with Big Data, including the ability to leverage information such as business documents, PDFs, ePubs, emails and tweets. In this collaboration, Kaplan selected MarkLogic as the infrastructure to deliver ePub materials via mobile platform, paving the way for future digital and mobile initiatives and better student experience.
Kaplan Mobile is now available in the iTunes Store for free.
