Read/Write Lectures: Fostering Active Participation and Increasing Student Engagement in the Lecture Hall

摘要

In technology-enhanced lectures, the support of student engagement during lectures is still rudimentary compared to that of educators. Yet, participation and active learning are key factors for learning success. By applying the Web 2.0 paradigm of active participation to lectures, students become actively involved as both consumers and producers of learning resources. Based on a survey of related work, we propose a system that facilitates active participation and contribution to increase student engagement.
