I would like to have a text box appear with additional information on a screen (as with a hover option), but also want to make this course visible and workable on the iPad. Has anyone come up with a good option for creating a hover-type effect that will work when the course is viewed on the iPad?
My confusion with this comes in when I think of a user on an iPad. They don't really "hover" over anything using the device. Yes, it may be silly, but I pictured someone just holding their hand over the iPad While that would be cool, obviously, that's not possible.
They'd have to tap, or swipe, or make some other type of "touch" interaction on the screen. You could just have a layer display when the text box does, containing the additional information and have the user click on a button to return to the text box.
Another option would be a marker. Though the animations aren't supported in HTML5, they are supported in the Articulate Mobile Player. I'm not sure which you're using, but either way, maybe this would pull a little attention to the information.
Just tossing some thoughts out there Would be interested in seeing how you end up designing this.
Hover does work on the iPad, as long as you dont have an on click trigger on the same object.
You would need to position the appearing object so the hand does not occlude it, however I agree with Christine in these cases use on click not on hover

Good luck!
