InSitu lecture feedback system

The InSitu feedback system is a groundbreaking research project designed to adapt teaching methods for mass lectures. It addresses challenges such as feedback acquisition and the diverse backgrounds of students. By fostering interactive communication and allowing real-time adjustments based on student input, InSitu aims to enhance learning experiences. Utilizing Java-enabled smartphones, it offers quick feedback options with minimal setup costs. With plans for robust testing in fall 2007, the project seeks to connect up to 200 devices for effective classroom engagement, supported by the Department of Mathematical Information Technology.

  1. InSitu lecture feedback system • Research and development project for adaptive teaching • Aims to assist learning in mass lectures Challenges in mass lectures • Difficulties in giving and getting feedback • Versatility of students’ backgrounds • Adapting teaching according to students • Creating interactive conversation instead of monologue InSitu for student InSitu for lecturer • A program for Java-enabled smartphone • Assists learning by increasing interaction • Giving feedback with a push of a button • Helps to determine students’ prior-knowledge • Measuring one’s knowledge by answering questions provided by the lecturer • Makes possible to adjust teaching real-time according to feedback of students Research and development • Prototypes of the system will be developed in order to test various approaches of using large amount of devices • The network is initially formed with Bluetooth technology • Full suppor for GPRS and WLAN clients will also be added in later point • Compared to similar system the InSitu has minimal equipment costs • The system is being developed by two part-time research assistants at the moment • During fall 2007 the system will be tested with 20-30 simultanious clients • The main goal of the research is to enable 200 devices to operate effectively within the system • The prototypes being developed will be tested in the lectures of information technology • Project is funded by the deparment of mathematical information technology • Further information: PhD Vesa Lappalainen vesal@mit.jyu.fi
