Introduction ASQ Web application designed to enable practice questions during lectures. Questions can be embedded in the slides of a presentation which are streamed to the students’ devices. Students’ answers are aggregated in real-time allowing presenters to get insight into the level of understanding in the classroom. (University of Novi Sad) Utilization of ASQ Jelsa, 2019 4 / 17

Introduction Motivation for Introducing ASQ Turn student devices from distractions to affordances for learning. Use technology to scale active learning to large audiences. Raise teachers’ awareness for each and all of their students’ level of comprehension of the taught material, during and after the lecture.

Research Goals Research Goals Main goal of our research is verification of ASQ effectiveness. We tried to answer to the following questions: Do students that use ASQ perform better than students that do not? Is effectiveness of ASQ different among different course topics? The verification was performed by conducting certain experiments. (University of Novi Sad) Utilization of ASQ Jelsa, 2019 7 / 17

Experimental Setup Outline The data that was used in experimental analysis was collected during the Web Design course. In the course we utilized ASQ only for the half of the students – other half used traditional methods. We compared performance of two halves of students.

Experimental Setup Web Design Course Web design is an elective course which is intended for first-year students. The course is divided into three main topics: HTML : history, tags, elements of web page, attributes, text formatting, links, images, tables, lists, frames, forms; CSS : positioning, CSS rules, selectors, declaration blocks, box model (padding, border, margin), page flow, floating; JavaScript : variables, statements, operators, functions, arrays, objects, events, DOM, BOM, form validation, HTML5 canvas.

Experimental Setup Experimental Setup The data was collected during the two school years (2016/2017 and 2017/2018). The two student groups were each year balanced in terms of group size and students’ foreknowledge. 2016/2017 2017/2018 NA A NA A Number 25 26 28 28 Foreknowledge 44.31 44.22 47.53 41.52 For assessment of the students performance we used unified final test at the end of semester. The unified test contains thirty questions – ten per each course’s topic. By introducing this test, we were able to obtain unbiased evaluation of students’ performance.
