Using a generative research approach, we collected data through observations and interviews to understand what students need. We then used this data to inform the features of prototypes that we created, tested, and modified. This led to our mass lecture app, the A+tention app, with five main features: quick notifications to the instructor, the ability to view and take notes on lecture slides, flash card game, seating map, and the ability to leave comments and questions for others in the course anonymously.
We would like to share our research process, features of the A+tention app, and the future of this app, in hopes of bringing more attention to the mass lecture learning environment, creating a conversation around our app, and inspiring more technologies that can help improve learning for all.
