Plickers

It is a free tool available for Android, iPhone and iPad which allows the preparation of multiple choice tests and true/ false questions for the learners in a simple, dynamic and attractive way.

Feeback from the learners can be obtained in real time, getting to know who has answered correctly and who has not. Answers are provided through a set of cards which use BIDI code technology.  Each learner has his own card, and after the question is projected, they will orientate their cards according to the answer considered valid (4 options max). The trainer will scan the cards (answers) with his mobile or tablet and will obtain results instantly.

• It is very useful to measure progresses made by learners, and use data obtained as a starting point, not just an ending metric.
• It is easy to use.
• Only the trainer needs a device:  computer/tablet/smartphone (Plickers can be managed through the website or an application available for mobiles and tablets).

Plickers does not collect personal information from adult learners directly, only the data entered by trainers and schools when using the services in the classroom.

Plickers may use de-identified information about learners to allow the services to adapt to individual learners and recommend materials that can help them to learn.

This assessment tool encourages cheating prevention, given the BIDI codes and the cards size.
