Abstract

This paper presents the development of a real-time response system to enhance student involvement in a class; by means of addressing the attendance and the participation of students. The system consists of student pads on an Android mobile platform, a lecturer pad, and an Apache Tomcat server hosting the software of the system. The system allows the lecturer to keep track of the attendance of every student, as well as monitoring the comprehension of the class in relation to a subject via interactive multiple-choice-questions and short-answer-questions.
