One year we had to buy a "clicker" to give digital answers to multiple choice questions live in class. We only used them a handful of times and then found out we couldn't resell them after the semester because it was coded to a specific student and couldn't be changed or something.
I at least appreciated the professor apologizing to us when we reported it to him and promising to not do it to another class when he found out you can't resell them, but still... I may as well have just thrown $50 in the trash and gotten the same result.
I just create surveys and put a QR code in my slides. They answer the question on their phone.
Yeah, this was 2010...
QR codes were invented in 1994.
QR codes weren't a big thing at that time and weren't integrated into the first smart phones, eventually you could download an app to use a QR code. However those weren't really in use in education settings until closer to 2015.
There's been a qr code reader app available in the store since 2008. It woulda been doable.
Yeah but most people didn't have smartphones for a few more years. Making a smartphone required in 2008 would have been insane.
Ok. Valid.
Oh, I didn't realize they were available on blackberries and the first iPhone.
I remember there was a lot of confusion in the 90s when email was introduced to teachers and late 90s when attendance was inputted into a computer program. Getting a 60 year-old professor to not only use a smart phone, but to utilize them in a lecture when they've only used books and a blackboard for the last ~40 years of their career would be difficult. Boomers and Silent Generation had a hard enough time figuring out how to use a TV remote, let alone figuring out how to allow students to access a URL via QR code embedded into a PowerPoint presentation.
At the time, I had a qr reader on my android. You're right about the teachers though, 100%. Also, not enough students would have had smartphones to be able to actually do that.
Yeah, and Lincoln coulda faxed a samurai.
Hmm that sounds like a profit making opportunity for a technically inclined person.
It was, they sold the clickers
Oops didn't mean to! Sowwy I won't do it again. (Does it again)
