Abstract—This is a mixed methodology study which focused on developing a real-time concept feedback system for Botho University students. The study takes advantage of the tablets distributed freely by the institution to ameliorate the problem of lack of understanding of module concepts during lecture lessons. The system addresses issues of providing real-time feedback as the lecture is ongoing without disturbing other students, thus upholding effective class participation and interaction without the need of voicing own concerns loud to the lecturer, and in turn the lecturer is able to view the students’ interactions and address them. The real-time concept feedback system was used to test student comprehension of concepts, improve participation, engagement and attendance. The study identified many factors affecting students’ participation and interaction in a traditional class which inhibits understanding of concepts; hence, the development of the application to address such. It concluded that real-time concept feedback systems are vital in addressing students understanding in lecture sessions, thus upholding the importance of ICTs in education.
