摘要：The proliferation of technology has re-defined the traditional learning environment, the classical
classroom model of a teacher to student delivery is chaging as technology becomes more
pervasive in educational environments. In adddion, the availability of technology and the
breadth of difference device categories and platforms is a stark contrast to the traditional classroom, and
the pervasiveness of low-cost devics provides opportunities to significantly re-define the learning
envirionment. In this paper, we have developed a real-time feedback mechanism supported by
technology to allow students and educators to assess comprehension in the teaching environment. Realtime
feedback is input that is acquired whilst a teaching practice is ongoing, and the outcomes derived
from the feedback mechanism have provided a strong pedagogical value to the learning environment.
These benefits have been clearly elicited by the academic staff who trailed the system. This research
work addresses issues of providing real-time feedback as the lecture is ongoing without disturbing other
students, thus upholding effective class participation and interaction without the need of voicing own
concerns loud to the lecturer, and in turn the lecturer is able to view the students’ interactions and address
them. The real-time concept feedback system was used to test student comprehension of concepts,
improve participation, engagement and attendance. The study identified many factors affecting students’
participation and interaction in a traditional class which inhibits understanding of concepts; hence, the
development tof a application to address such. It concluded that real-time concept feedback systems are
vital in addressing students’ understanding in lecture sessions, thus upholding the importance of ICTs
in education.
