I was just curious if there was anything outside of clicker questions that could be used to assess what students are thinking on problems. I remember Dr. Boyer, I believe, use in Journal club an online assessment sort of thing where people would answer and it would post on a website. I like something like that, but maybe even more advanced.
Ideally, I'm imagining a class where everyone has an iPad (both Shannon and Erika's dream) and there is some sort of a program where people would do work on their iPad. There would be different sections for writing down certain things, like constants or final answer, I'm not sure. But the program would recognize the writing and determine how the student did based on how the professor (assuming an expert) solved it. There could then be some sort of an analysis of the class results and what happened with the work. I guess what I'm asking, is if there is anything like this or how difficult it would be to attain this.
