Prokope app for iPhone and iPad

Prokopé is iPad application developed in collaboration with the Classics Department of Grand Valley State University that targets intermediate Latin readers. The app allows readers to interact with a Latin text, along with associated commentary, vocabulary, multimedia, and related links. Prokopé has several advantages over a printed text. First, professors can upload new documents and related commentary to a server at any time. Users will see the uploaded texts the next time they use the app. Second, users can interact with a text at several points: They can click on individual words to display the corresponding commentaries and vocabulary; they can click on related multimedia to take a closer look at an image, or play a video; and they can follow related links to information found at other locations on the web. Third, the app captures all user interactions and stores them on a server so a professor can scrutinize the activity of a single user, or see aggregate information about how readers use the information presented to them. The ultimate goal is to provide an application that enhances a readers understanding of classical texts.
