Interactive learning environment for large class teaching

Abstract: This paper aims at introducing a new platform for mobile and interactive learning targeted as an effective communication medium between the professor and students during large class lectures. In this system, students can ask questions, response to questions or give immediate feedback on the lecture simply by composing an MMS message on their mobile phone and sending it to the lecture console PC. The professor himself can choose to immediately respond to the comments or to delay his response so as not to disrupt the flow of the lecture. The main advantage of this learning system is that MMS messaging is easily extensible to the mobile GSM networks, so students are not restricted to use it only on campus. This learning system will also encourage students to be more participative in the learning process, as students tend to be shy to speak up in front of large groups.
