Questioner
by Sean Bartell and Andrew Felsher
The problem
Rather than teaching a specific subject, this exercise is a tool that a teacher can use to create answerable questions in order to teach whichever subject (s)he wishes.
Participants and props
An unlimited number of students can participate simultaneously. One teacher or someone who makes the questions must also participate. Only a computer per teacher and per participant and the following URL are required.
The script
The teacher creates a number of multiple-choice questions with answers by going to the above URL and using the "New Question" and "New Answer" tools.
For each question, a unique URL is generated. The participants should use this URL to get to the question.
The participants then answer each question.
At the same time, participants can discuss the question in a chat window that shows who says what and gives a timestamp for each statement.
