Paperclickers is low cost alternative to substitute the old clickers in the classroom. Each student gets a card with a visual code, and uses that card to answer the questions asked by the teacher. The teacher uses the phone camera to read the answers. The cards can be printed from the app settings (the gears icon at the first screen).
Paperclickers were released as open source software to provide a baseline for future improvement, aiming the broader adoption of Classroom Response Systems, specially when associated with Active Learning methodologies.
Inside the doc and experiments folders you will find some information describing the last research done to create paperclickers.
Under the topcodes folder you will find the answering cards to be used by the students in some of the supported languages. Paperclickers application also generates those files.
Paperclickers master branch contains the Android version, developed using Android Studio. Version 1.1 is the last release developed using the old Eclipse Android IDE.
Paperclickers was created by researchers at UNICAMP as an affordable solution for real-time collection of students reactions and answers in classroom. The project was conducted by Prof. Dr. Eduardo Valle and Prof. Dr. Renato Lopes, and M.Sc. students Jomara Bindá and Eduardo de Oliveira.
