Do Your Students Get It? Quiz It! The Android Classroom Response System

摘要

This paper presents the design and a pilot study of a real-time response system for Android mobile devices, created to enhance active learning methods and assess students' understanding. The prototype system named Quiz It, consists of a lecturer mobile application, a student mobile application and a supportive lecturer administration web environment. Quiz It can be used by Android mobile phones or tablets with access to the Internet. In order to investigate whether Quiz It responds sufficiently under real conditions and get an overview about students' attitude towards its use, we conducted a pilot study with 23 students who used the application during a laboratory lecture. The results indicated that no problems were encountered in use and students reported that they had a positive experience with the application.
