One of our schools are seeking to establish a project using iBooks in an
integrated high school situation with a student who is deaf. The school is
looking to possibly use 2 iBooks, one by the student and the second by
their notetaker, utilising the hw's 'radio' networking capabilities.

It is visualised that the notetaker will transcribe notes from the class
room work, and the student will be able in real time:
i) to see these notes on their screen and
ii) to ask questions of the notetaker that might arise.

I know that a similar arrangement was put together and used both here in
Australia and in the US some years ago but using Intel based hardware.

A couple of questions
i) Has anyone tried this recently using the Mac as a hardware base and how
did it go?

ii) What software is currently about on the Macs that will allow real time

Would appreciate people thoughts on it.

Sorry for any cross postings
