This paper has presented a student response system that has freeform input capabilities, allowing for students to respond to questions with graphical sketches, mathematical equations, circuit diagrams, etc. The current system has been developed for use on tablets and smart phones with the Android operating system.
Preliminary evaluation results show that students are strongly in favour of the proposed system. They find the tablet-based version easy to use, like the flexibility that a sketch input offers and find it a useful, motivating and enjoyable response system to use in class.
In addition, students have found that the smart phone version of the student app works reasonably well but that there is a trade-off between the size of the phone screen and the detail of sketch that can be rendered as a result. Nevertheless, it offers cost and accessibility advantages over using tablets.
