Abstract

Real-Time Feedback system is a dedicated software designed to increase scholars (student's) classroom presence, interaction, and participation. It also appraise student level of understanding. This research work provides the tools, resources and techniques essential for peer to peer interaction as well as student-lecturer communication and learning. Through this system, students are empowered to embark on active and effective learning procedure. Users of the system can access course information, submit assignments and even do research on the subject matter. The system was developed using JavaScript and PHP as the programming language with HTML5 and CSS for the interface design. JavaScript is mostly put into use by system developers because it is a resourceful client-side programming language for web applications. JavaScript is an interpreted language, not a compiled language. JavaScript is also light-weight as compared to other programming languages that is very suitable for web development. We have been able to successfully build a software that allows lecturer give lecture at ease and also allows the lecturer measure the level of these student’s understanding. This developed system can be accessed by users ubiquitously. It is supported on major desktop and handheld devices which can connect to the cloud. The software thus offer undisputable forms of assistance to all classes of users (scholars) within and outside the classroom.
