Why is it important?
We introduce an easily configurable application for teachers to design activities that are flexible. Also a simple tool for students to interact with either via mobile devices or desktops which has in-built collaboration mechanisms like a chat application. Our findings show positive perception towards PyramidApp by both teachers and students.
Perspectives
This article is a snapshot of a long research which includes many inspiring work by other researches also. Moreover my co-author has a broad knowledge in collaborative learning and working with her was a great pleasure and a learning experience.
