It integrates mobile technologies into teaching and learning processes where students learn with their teacher. Students bring to the classroom their PDA which displays relevant presentation slides for them to annotate using a stylus or a keyboard. Students are also encouraged to ask questions freely and effectively in the class. With icKnowledge, students write down their questions directly on the slide and wirelessly transmit them to the teacher using their PDA. Students could ask questions containing symbols or formulas which are difficult to ask verbally. In addition, the teacher can instantly go to any slide that a student is referring to, regardless the progress of the lecture. Consolidated questions are presented to the teacher in a tablet PC and in turn may be projected for discussion or archived for later follow-up. Other students involve by retrieving those questions into their PDA. ![]() |
