MOOCTAB aims at creating a tablet based platform dedicated to the lifelong learning (primary, secondary, higher, and continuous) using an on-demand MOOC platform. The MOOCTAB project intends to answer these challenges by developing a cloud based European MOOC on Demand platform with a Plug&Play approach deployable in Europe and developing countries. This platform will take advantage of existing technology bricks and existing open source platforms like edX. Enhancement of this platform will be detailed in the SoTA and innovation paragraphs.
 
At the other end of the chain, tablet devices are the perfect catalyser for e-education and to consume MOOC content. The tablets are taking over the market share from workstation computers due to their competitive pricing and rich multimedia features. Tablet computers provide a unique opportunity to create a truly portable learning experience. Lightweight with a long battery life, they offer possibilities not previously seen with other mobile devices. This lends itself to better use of technology within teaching. Using tablets in scenarios, such as field trips, workshops or physical education lessons offers opportunities for research, evidence gathering and presentation. All of this has brought new pedagogic perspectives to the teachers, but there are still challenges to overcome. Supporting teachers with training is essential in order to realise the potential of this technology in the classroom.
