Live Lecture Comprehension Tracking

Client: Alastair Beresford Computer Lab, <Alastair.Beresford@cl.cam.ac.uk>

Lecturing a large group is a challenging task, not least because there are few feedback cues: how much of the room is understanding? Too fast? Too slow? Your task is to develop a system that provides a feedback loop. Firstly, it should allow students to rate their current comprehension of lecture material through a mobile app, displaying the aggregated results live as a distribution in a corner of the presented screen. Secondly, the app should allow students to submit questions anonymously that, once upvoted to a preset level, flash up on the screen.
