Abstract

In this paper, we present a mobile Audience Response System (ARS) that is aiming to improve the teaching process for both students and teachers. It was designed and created an app that students can download and use on their phones to answer Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) given by the teacher during class. Students can answer these questions by using their mobile phones, in real time, and the teacher can immediately get the results and see a graph distribution of their answers. This is a step towards encouraging the Active Learning Model and increasing student participation during class while also providing the teacher immediate feedback. A pilot testing has been conducted and results are discussed. Also, future actions are described.
