Mobilectures: sistema para promover interatividade em eventos acadêmicos por meio de dispositivos móveis

Abstract

Due to the great advancement of mobile technology in recent decades is increasingly common to find students carrying some sort of mobile technology in teaching environments, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops or mobile phone. This brings a great opportunity to apply this technology in the teaching-learning process, as a tool that can promote interactive and dynamic classes. This paper presents the Mobilectures support tool, a system to promote interactivity in educational environments, such as lectures, workshops, short courses and lectures through mobile applications. The tool consists of two applications: 1) A web system, where the lecturer can manage teaching sessions, manage questionnaires goals (quizzes) and polls, and can also receive inquiries sent by the listening public; 2) A mobile application, by which listeners of a teaching session can interact with the lecturer, participating in quizzes, polls and send doubts about the lecture, during the exposure of the contents. Thus, according to the experiments carried out it was observed that the tool can made educational sessions more interactive, providing interaction between students and lecturers.
