Immediate Feedback : A New Mechanism for Real Time Feedback on Classroom Teac...IJITE
The proliferation of technology has re-defined the traditional learning environment. The classical classroom model of teacher to student delivery is changing as technology becomes more pervasive in educational environments. In addition, the availability of technology and the breadth of different device
categories and platforms is a stark contrast to the traditional classroom, and the pervasiveness of low-cost devices provides opportunities to significantly re-define the learning environment. In this paper, we have developed a real-time feedback mechanism supported by technology to allow students and educators to assess comprehension in the teaching environment. Real-time feedback is input that is acquired whilst a teaching practice is ongoing, and the outcomes derived from the feedback mechanism have provided a strong pedagogical value to the learning environment. These benefits have been clearly elicited by the academic staff who trialled the system.

I’ve been involved with the application of GIS in hospitals and healthcare for about 20
years. During this time I’ve experienced and observed GIS being applied in epidemiology,
health sciences, health resources, clinical/medical areas, health facilities management, market analysis, medical recruiting … and as I’ll discuss today … hospital and healthcare emergency management and disaster preparedness. The material for this talk comes from
research I’m doing for a book that will be published by CRC Press early next year on the
evolving role of GIS in hospital and healthcare emergency management.

Introduction
Technology has completely acquired over the rapid pace of trends in our society as well as across the globe. It is very true that the advancement of science has developed several products as vital contributions in our community to make our life much easier while the decline in the hurdles of our path. If we look around the cell phone (mobile) it has been more of a necessity among us rather than a choice. According to the recent primary and secondary data the figures reflect that almost 92 percent of the people across the globe use cell phone for acquiring their basic needs of the life to have long conversations with their family and friends along with the important calls to stay in touch with all their known individuals. Where ever you go even the drivers and poor people’s you can find them using cell phones but still we can figure out a line of difference with the use of the phone. Now a day we can find various categories of phones comprises of GSM, CDMA, Multimedia, basic phones, etc. IN out present scenario we can find that the youth are more over being friendly with the latest trends of touch screen technologies of mobile phones as well as the several described products of tablets, iPhones, etc. Which has been launched from the past several years but a novel generation of educational tools has funded those for the creative use and instantaneous admissions of the students to contribute their wealth of online resources. Those products has been advertized as “revolutionary” devices in our generation that embrace the immense potential for the proper transformation of learning’s. One of the principle benefits or the major circumstances of the adoption of such device is the characteristics reflected by them to facilitate the concept of learning skills anywhere, anytime across the nations. This permits a shift which has driven the industry study era replica where the classroom is the inner place of learning driven by lecturers as well as restricted to the lessons taught within the school on a regular day.
Problem Statement
While structuring the mobile devices the firms has to process various steps to compute the devices together and activate a production of successful products, the present trends of students who are being organized by mobile devices, the teacher is no longer present at the center of the learning procedure where as the instructional time for the studies may vary and can exceed than those of the school days.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

4. In the article Handheld, Wireless Computers: Can They Improve Learning and Instruction,” written by Moaleem, Kermani, and Sue-jen Chen, the positives and negatives of technology are discussed in regards to the use of PDAs inside the classroom. A school received a grant in order to buy handheld computers for class in order to study the effects on learning. The question at hand was whether or not they would enhance or take away from the environment of learning in the classroom. The researchers worked hard to create units where the instructors and students would be able to use their PDAs. The students would take pre-tests and post-tests on the internet before and after a class. This allowed students to see what they knew before hand, and what they had learned through the lecture. Another activity that took place was peer editing. Students would work on a group question, and then beam their information to another group for instant feedback. Finally, there was a program called Student Response System (SRS) that allowed them to post questions and ideas to the instructor for feedback. These questions and ideas were immediately posted on a projector for all to see and to be discussed. Mahnaz Moallem, Hengameh Kermani, &Sue-jen Chen (2005). Handhelds, Wireless Computers: Can they Improve Learning and Instruction?. Computers in Schools. The Hawthorne Press, Inc. Vol 22. 93-106.
5. In other words research was used to find a way to use technology to apply principles that define good learning. But for this article I questioned a lot. How could they assure that every student would be using the technology for learning and not for personal use? Doesn't it cause more distraction in a classroom? More research could be done or the model could be "perfected" to prevent these things at question from occurring. I believe that the use of this technology has great positives and can be beneficial to learning, AS LONG AS IT IS USED APPROPRIATELY. The speed of feedback from the use of this technology, is most helpful in my mind. I enjoy being able to email professors to get answers to my questions. From the text I found in interesting that the technology was used to give pre and post exams. I find this helpful and resourceful. I also agree with the results that more students would interact because I feel that I would be more apt to interact in classrooms where discussions answering questions that I may have over material because I would feel better prepared. " The point was not to investigate whether a specific use of HWCs is instructionally effective. Rather the goal was to identify how and in what ways we could use this new technology to apply research based principles of good instruction or condition of learning to improve student performance."
6. Cell phones and PDA’s are are common in high school and are now making there way into the elementary and middle school scene. In 2005, MobileYouth Tracker estimated 200,000 US Children age 5-9 carried cellphones and since the number has increased greatly. This is due to parents wanting to ensure safety and communication with their child and due so by providing a way of doing so. With this, concerns are now araising in the educational field.
7. The problem with the invention of this technology is that cheating during tests and texting during class is becoming an issue. PDAs are allowing children to communicate with on another during class when listening to the instructor is most important. They are able to access the internet and view sited that would otherwise be blocked if accessing the internet through the schools resources. Cameras on the phones and handhelds are also an issue. Harassment issues for inappropriate pictures that can be taken in the bathrooms are becoming a real problem in some areas. Cell phones and PDAs are starting to be confiscated and even banned on the school’s premises to help deal with the issues. But some are reluctant to pass this ban due to the perception of it being a tool of safety. Richard Dodds (2005). Cell Phones Hit K-9. Education Digest. Vol 70. 52-53.
8. “ Over 7 million aged 10 to 14 have cell phones, a number hitting 11 million in the next two years. Knowing this, cell phone companies market more aggressively to youngsters, offering decorative phones that download Internet music.” I was amazed to read this statistic. I had no idea this many children between 10-14 yrs had cell phones. I was also surprised to see that cheating during tests at this age was also a problem. The fact that parents buy such expensive phone for children this age, to where they can access the internet and what not is a shock. If a parent is concerned about the safety then a simple phone works. Learning is essential. If safety is disturbing learning then something needs to be altered. A parent must not only be concerned with safety but also what their child is learning and taking in. Learning is vital to young minds. It is the foundation where the principles of subjects are taught. Children have short attention spans as it is and with extra disruptions, this is even at more risk.

10. The features of a PDA--its small size, game appearance and interactive components motivated and attracted children in learning and maintaining focus. The operating system of a PDA, which requires simpler steps in overall manipulation than a desktop computer, also may be more suitable for young children. But in result the “cognitive load” in their working memory may be decreased. In this project, children were able to use Note Pad, which allowed them to be actively involved and in control. For teachers and classrooms with small budgets, this function may be a good starting point in the early childhood classroom. The children quickly grasped the use of “reversibility” and the function of the keys and icons. Mi Chang Young, Laurie Mullen, &Matthew Stuve (2005). Are PDAs Pedagogically Feasible for Young Children?. The Journal. Vol 32. 40-42. Need assistance on what PDA is helpful or how to use it ? Examples and activities for PDA use In class grading using PDA’s
11. “ When the researcher asked, ‘If you wanted to learn more about one of those pictures [on the PDA], what do you think you would do?’ Three of the four children responded that they would push, or touch, the icons with the stylus, while one child didn't know.” I was shocked to know that a child would know to push the icon with the stylus to see more over it. It also surprised me to know that the children knew that one is able to maneuver from programs and back to homepages. The memorization of knowing where the icons would take them also shocked me. I was surprised that this technology was easily operated by a child. At first I thought that using a PDA would create more of a headache due to having to spend excessive amounts of time teaching the children how to operate the technology but I was wrong. I now believe that these technology tools would serve a great purpose in the lower aged classrooms as well .
12. In conclusion, after reading all three articles, I am more aware of the costs and rewards of using PDA’s and handhelds in a classroom. I believe when given a more basic PDA to children, it can stimulate there learning quite well and be an effect means of teaching. The use of this technology in an upper level grade is also effective and quite useful to one’s learning. Although when thinking of using this tool, one must also look at the costs. These tools are sometime distracting and can be manipulated. But when the rewards out way the costs, then the use of the technology would be beneficial. These articles show the costs and rewards among different age groups. They are helpful in providing the different ways of learning and how to use this tool to better help in the classroom.
