Abstract

Boosting interactions and engagement of students in a classroom and remote learning is the major focus of our research. The software that has been developed named as Clicker is an android and web based system, designed to aid the teacher and the students to perform assessment, instant feedback and raise anonymous doubts. The software has been specifically designed for two distinct environments, viz., classroom and remote learning environment. Newly added features in Student Response System (SRS) are raising doubts remote learning and make the SRS more interactive. We have conducted two surveys in the remote learning mode with 5882 engineering faculty across India. The results of the survey indicate the better features and acceptance of the developed software.
