Abstract

Method, systems, and computer-readable media for receiving, from an application instance operating on a client device, education information that indicates a client device identifier, a wireless proximity beacon identifier, and a proximity of the identified client device to the identified wireless proximity beacon. From the received education information, a determination is made whether the proximity of the identified client device to the identified wireless proximity beacon satisfies a threshold proximity. Based at least on the determination, an action is determined that the application instance operating on the identified client device is permitted to perform while the proximity of the identified client device to the identified wireless proximity beacon satisfies the threshold proximity. Education information is transmitted to the identified client device that enables the application instance operating on the identified client device to perform the action.
