Design of an in-classroom interaction system supporting instructor's decision making

Mobile learning has always been a hot topic in recent years, and there are a lot of new instructional applications which are developed on hand-held devices. With the maturing development of functions on mobile phone, Clicker, which is used as an interacting tool between teachers and students on tradtional classroom response system can be replaced by mobile phone, PDA, tablet PC. This research aims to design a classroom intercative system which can be used with hand-held devices. This system not only provides students with responsing their learning status immediately, but also supporting instructor's decision making. Furthermore, the conception of Web 2.0 is applied in the system to let student share and exchange learning resources. For the design of classroom interactive system, we suggest that simplizing the operational process, responsing feedback to users instantly, and adding rewarding mechanism in the system. Following the design guidelines, we expect that the system can enhance instruction and make learning more effectively.
