The display can be toggled back and forth by clicking on a button below the digitaldisplay.

of universities have also provided facilities for students to submit anonymouscomments on a class. However, these tools are rarely used by students, tend to attractemotional complaints, and do not provide a coherent mechanism for improving delivery of acourse.Some instructors have rolled their own midterm evaluations using LMSs or off-the-shelfsurvey tools. These have often proved cumbersome. Austin and Austin [5]’s LMS lackedanonymous response capability; instructors could see who had answered a question. Thus,if they logged in to view results at a time when only a single student had responded, theycould figure out what that student had written. Second, substantial administrative supportwas needed: Instructors needed to import a Zip file
