چکیده
We are interested in understanding how mobile devices can enhance lecture based pedagogy by allowing the instructor and students to interact electronically and in real time by exchanging lecture materials and in-class student work. We have deployed a Tablet PC based classroom interaction system in undergraduate courses, and developed a pedagogy which incorporates mediated student contributions into the classroom discussion. We found that the classroom interaction system helped instructors to engage the students and maintain high participation. The public display appears to be a critical aspect of the system by motivating students to be involved.
