| In this paper we present a system that
enhances typical synchronous teleteaching environments. The key
idea is to compensate the lack of social awareness and
interactivity of a telelecture by allowing students to use
hand-held devices and wireless communication to interact with the
lecturer and with other students. One example of the interactions
enabled by the system is a feedback mechanism that allows the
students to provide the lecturer with information about how the
speed and difficulty of a lecture is perceived by the students.
Another example is the ability of the lecturer to hold quizzes
with the distributed audience. The system has been implemented as
a prototype and it is currently being evaluated in regular
lectures at the University of Mannheim. |
