About this project
I've developed an open-source "clicker" application tailored for use in educational settings, motivated by the absence of online alternatives that offer LATEX compatibility without ads and a straightforward file-importation tool. Through the app, instructors can pose questions related to their course content, and students respond by selecting one or multiple answers on their smartphones. The app features a real-time results display, allowing both teachers and students to instantly visualize the responses. To enhance convenience further, the app seamlessly integrates with LATEX, permitting the easy import of text files while intelligently identifying and extracting questions. Through a user-friendly web interface, educators can select specific questions to present to their students, streamlining the teaching process and promoting student engagement. Here is a preview of the app running:
Implementation
This project involved a comprehensive technology stack, including:
- CSS and Javascript for the front-end.
- SQL to store the questions.
- PHP to communicate with the database and extract questions from LATEX files.
