In previous classroom teaching, teachers want to know whether the students have grasped the knowledge they taught in the class, the best way is to ask the students to do exercises. However, teachers usually can only inspect the results of a few of the students' answers in the class due to the limited time rather than fully grasp the learning performance of the whole class. Besides, it is also time-consuming to explain to students one question by question, which slows down the teaching progress, and the correction and statistics of test papers are time-consuming and labor-intensive, which greatly affects the efficiency of the classroom. In this situation, modern smart device, like mobile phones or tablets is introduced into the classroom to solve the problems. Students can answer the question via the app installed on their mobile phones or tablets, and the system automatically collects and score the feedback data, and display the results in real time, which greatly improves classroom efficiency. Despite all this, this way is difficult to popularize or widely used, because there are certain requirements for the hardware in the hands of students and the network environment deployed in the classroom. At least each student must be equipped with a mobile phone or tablet. considering the cost, many schools are restricted from using them in large quantities. Therefore, using information technology to create a low-cost or even zero-cost real-time student response system for classroom teaching, which can be quickly promoted and used, thereby multiplying classroom efficiency, has become an urgent problem that needs to be solved.
The student response system emerged as an easy and low-cost teaching tool. It consists of classroom clickers, a receiver, and a set of student response software. the classroom clicker is a handheld wireless device similar to a small remote control. The answer data input by the students through the classroom clicker will be received by the data receiver and transmitted to the student response software installed on the computer or whiteboard. The software will automatically mark the objective questions, and immediately display a visual report which including correct or error rate, student ranking in real time in the form of various charts like a bar chart or a pie chart.
