A New Portable Response Analysis System: Applications to Medical Education / 医学教育

We have developed a portable response analysis system to collect student opinions in real time during lectures. This system consists of a main control box, 128 telemetric answering devices, a notebook computer, and a portable video projector. This system is completely portable and can be set up in any lecture room. Students answer questions by pushing one of 10 keys on the telemetric answering device. The control program collects student responses to questions, and statistical values are presented with the video projector through a computer in real time. This system is useful for improving lectures since student responses can be displayed quickly. Examples from a medical school lecture on behavioral sciences are shown.
