Effective Tracking of Student Participation in Large Classes

Engaging students in large classes can be challenging due to difficulty in tracking participation. Traditional methods disrupt class flow and are labor-intensive. This study proposes a streamlined solution utilizing mobile technology to gather real-time participation data. It features a user-friendly, two-click system that allows instructors to record student contributions without interrupting their teaching. By categorizing participation quality and tracking volunteer interactions, instructors can enhance classroom engagement and improve the learning experience for all students.

  2. The Situation • A natural part of class is the students’ participation. • A participation is a communication from the student that boils down to one of two distinct actions: either the student is responding the instructor’s question, or the student is asking a question of his or her own. • Instructors wish to collect data about their students’ participation habits. • This includes how often students participate and the quality of each participation.

  3. The Problem • In large classes, there is currently no easy way to record participation data without interrupting the flow of class. • Identification data is difficult to manage. • Manually entering data into spreadsheets is a hassle; instructors “work the room” and can’t be tied down. • Need to keep with current most natural form of student volunteering: raising of the hand.

  4. The Solution • Mobility: Palm pilot • Naturalism: Student remote • Efficiency: 2-click system • Flow: Continuous; no typing
