Bluetooth PAN is the way that were working towards right now. One of our biggest challenges is that we won't have a common device to build an app for since we are relying on student/mentor provided tablets. So our solution will be server/client based. The server will be a raspberry Pi running a basic LAMP setup and then having the clients access using there native web browser.
I have the bluetooth PAN working pretty good on the Pi. Next step is to start developing the code and database.
