Textwall- Integrated IT intervention or irritating, irrelevant intrusion
Bob Morris · 2014
Background: Textwall by Learning Apps is a technological tool available to encourage participants in large or medium sized groups to engage with speakers and their delivered content using phones, email or via the internet.Students are invited to send messages during lectures that can either be incorporated into the lecture content or discussed following the lecture.These could be in response to a question posed by the lecturer or generated from students' considering the lecture content.By involving students in lectures more it may be possible to integrate the content of the individual session with other parts of their whole learning experience.Academics delivering material that may be considered as uninspiring may be interested in this study to help improve their students' experience and also achieve learning outcomes more effectively.
