Introducing Spotlight

Spotlight is an Android mobile application designed to make class participation easy for instructors looking to provide an engaging classroom for their students. With Spotlight, you can randomly select students for in-class participation, rate their performance, and keep track of classroom participation statistics. Spotlight removes bias from audience engagement, ensuring everyone can participate equally. Spotlight allows you to understand student-specific performance, view class-wide statistics, manage classroom layouts, and handle all your courses in one app. Spotlight will help you to improve your classroom through meaningful interaction with your students.

Spotlight's home screen makes it easy to randomly select a student for participation with the SPOT button. This screen also displays the classroom's layout and allows access to the other features like browsing class statistics, viewing the roster, or editing your classes.

When a student is "spotted", you can rate their participation and select other flags related to their performance such as "unprepared" or "absent".

Check a student's profile throughout the year to view their participation statistics and see how they are performing in your class! Here, you can also edit the student's information and view all of their past participation ratings.
