Abstract

Currently, classroom response systems (CRS) are being integrated into an increasing number of university courses. One of the least pursued usages of CRS is the ability to capture speed of student responses. Many of these systems produce a dynamic comma-separated value (CSV) file that presents all of this information in a database that can then be tapped for various uses. The system described in this paper combines the i> Clicker CRS, Mathworks MATLAB, and Microsoft PowerPoint to create an interactive trivia game for use in the classroom. The current implementation is used as an exam review in two first-year fundamentals of engineering courses at the university level. © 2012 IEEE.
