18. Classroom Voting with Mobile Learning, The m-FAS - A model of The Mobile Formative Assessment System m-FAS has been proposed and pilot study was done with messages delivered through SMS and emails. - Students have appreciated the messages they got directly after the lecture, they wanted more details.
