AuCoS - Audience Collaboration System

Purpose:

enable a team (whole audience)

to contribute/participate in the group work or learning/teaching

by sending text messages

to the moderator/teacher/lecturer

to be jointly used

Method:

audience uses their mobile phones connected to Internet

they access a web page and enter their text upon request from moderator

moderator uses all inputs in any computer application (text processor, mind mapper, whiteboard, ….)

Technology:

Two components are required: a web page receiving audience’s input and resending it to the moderator and local application for moderator’s computer receiving input from web application and sending it to any local application.

Web application:

a page anyone can access with an input field for text to be contributed

recognizes different participants by cookies sent to their phones

accepts only first contribution from individual participant, or all or replaces previous input with the next one

logs all contributions and allows moderator to download them (AuResS style)

Local application:

a program reading all input from web application, and resending it to local application emulating keyboard inputs

either to a specific selected application

or to the currently active application

the moderator can define text sequences to be sent:

before the first contribution

before each contribution

at the end of each contribution

at the end of the last contribution
