Motivation: | To Enhance Learning using a ubiquitous computing environment. |
| |
Method: | Server-side Perl scripts hosted on Unix, deliver platform independent HTML to the end user. A SQL database is used to store question and usage data. |
| |
Advantage: | Speed, security and stability. |
| |
Result: | With regular interactivity and dialog in the lecture, students remain interested and attentive. Measuring their understanding of core concepts via polling provides a method to remain statistically connected to the knowledge base of your students. As a result lectures can be adapted based on the preparedness and abilities of the students. |
