Sounding board: a handheld device for mutual assessment in education

ABSTRACT

We are developing a set of handheld input devices for mutual assessment in the course of a learning activity and a system to give on-the-spot feedback concerning the summary of the assessment to the learners visually with the aid of charts. This paper describes its design concept and provides an overview of the system.
