Development of assessment and feedback tools for e-learning

Abstract

In this age of internet, e-learning is now gaining more and more popularity in many schools and universities. To improve quality of teaching and learning, the lecture theaters and classrooms are equipped with computers, displaying screens, and wireless connection. This enables the teachers and students be able to interact with each other via applications on any devices connected to internet. That is the reason why many online tools are developing for e-learning purposes. The objective of this project is to develop a system of web and mobile applications for assessments and feedbacks to support e-learning programs. It provides both teachers and students the online learning tools as an alternative of the physical clicker devices. Its purpose is to create an interactive and efficient learning classroom environment. Upon completion of this project, the author has developed a web portal and an Android mobile application. This tool enables the lecturers and tutors to manage their questions and start clicker sessions in classes. For the students, they can use the mobile application to response to the questions and even send their comments or feedbacks which is not applicable for the physical clickers. All the responses are collected and shown as a graph when the session stops. Additionally, a report of students with their answers is also created for assessments or checking attendance.
