Description
Summary:Designing an active learning approach for a large group of students requires understanding if students would like to learn and interact with professors having a two-way communication compared to conventional lectures where it’s usually unidirectional where little to no interaction takes place during a lecture. In this report, a mobile application prototype has been developed, focusing on two main goals namely, teacher’s presence and student’s personalization. Teacher’s presence where the impact of the professor is felt online without being physically present. Student’s personalization where students can add their own milestones and study resources on top of a baseline course structure. A post-implementation survey was conducted and the result shows that students are interested to use the mobile application.
