The first Mobile Quiz in Egypt, up to my knowledge

As you may know, computers and labtops are not available to all students in Higher Education or K12. However, Egypt mobile penetration rate is very high. Therefore, several education projects can be done through mobile devices. 

The first mobile quiz is tested with Eng. Josph Osama and Eng. Enas Hussam, our senior students in Computers and Systems Engineering (CSE) department, Ain Shams University. You can check it at http://www.mobilestudy.org/u/24040/m/
From your mobile, install the application. It is not harmful although it displays warning. Then answer and tell me if you get the correct answer.


Their response was as follows
Joseph Osama شغال كويس عندى
Joseph Osama طيب دة محتاج ان الدكتور يحطلنا اسئلة عليه ؟
Ahmed Hassan او انتم تحطوا لبعض
Ahmed Hassan
 علشان تعملوا امتحان، ادخلوا على
http://www.mobilestudy.org
 واستمتعوا يا شباب.
مش هاوصيكم عرفوا شباب الدفعات الأخرى. الفكرة تستاهل المشاركة.

Enas Hussam very nice and simple  , here are some notes hope they help
1- It worked perfect on blackberry but it didn't work on Android
2- can the quiz support limited time?
3- concerning arabic, it need to be aligned right, because I think with long sentences it might be an issue
4- what about adding extra question to try English/Arabic at the same time to check the statment view
Ahmed Hassan رائع يا باشمهندسة ايناس وان كانت الاسئلة دي تكفي لمنحك الدكتوراه.
Ahmed Hassan it can be upgraded to support all of this and we can develop it more and more
Enas Hussam Thank You Dr. Ahmed Hassan And thank you for sharing this new experience, I hope to be applied some day
Ahmed Hassan You can apply it now, for your colleagues and friends. Do not wait for old people like me to initiate. Your generation is the future.
Enas Hussam I just wanted to add extra notes about some features that might be needed

  • * If a teacher wants to limit the access of a student to only one time, I think a login form will be needed, with a username and password given by the teacher for example, and when students access the quiz it must be saved to prevent them from re accessing again, an example of this voucher cards that are used only once.
    * it is easy to get the quiz via mobile, but it isn't easy to collect all results from sms only, especially if we're experiencing it with wide range of students, I think their should be another resource for getting results in addition to the sms service.
