ProblemTalk

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.

http://problemtalk.mine.nu/

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. The teacher should then share the URL of the question with the students.

When the participants answer the question, they are grouped into chat rooms where they can discuss their answers. The teacher will see all messages, and can send messages that will be seen by everyone who answers the question.

There is currently no method for creating an account on the web site, so each user is simply identified by a number.
