List of possible applications:

electronic "RAISE YOUR HANDS" mode

• question from teacher
• i think i know the answer so i press a button
• random generator picks who is to answer / can be overridden
• could be used for statistics on participation, and which kids need more integration based on statistics

VOTES/SURVEYS

• • enable to vote on a topic without raising your hand in front of the class which ultimately leads to a more honest voting behaviour
  • enables vote mechanisms that are hard to do with paper like multiple choices and ratings on preferred solutions as in "I'd like option A but if we don't get enough votes for that, option B would be my second favourite."

GROUPWORK / GROUPGAMES

• • teams of pupils can be chosen by a random generator this would take the social stress off the teacher as in "i dont want to be in a group with this guy.." "..the computer has chosen ist fair"
  • games would be possible where groups compete and if a group performs better it has to let a member go into another group
  • also the opposite is possible where the best performing group gets new members..

WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE MODE

• • if a pupil doesnt know the answer he could "ask the audience" and the kids could press what they think is the right answer..

MULTIPLE CHOICE TESTS

• • this will probably not be in version 0.1 as it needs a lot of work that is unrealistic to be implemented with the very short deadline of 2 months
  • teacher should be able to have a live on-stage test where the kids can answer questions with multiple choice pushbutton modes
  • multiple choice tests are not very common in europe so we need to spend research on this subject

GAMES

• • maybe something like the werewolf game
  • the remote choses who is the wolf and the others have to find out who it is by talking to each other on a round based system

SCHNITZELJAGD

• • multiple stations are layed out around the classroom
  • students go from station to station, plug in their ibutton, push a button to put in their solution to the quest presented at this station, go to next station
