Even if such resources exist, their rigidity and the one-time nature ofthese demonstrations hinder students from exploring scenarios beyond the standard setup. Thislimitation restricts students' ability to independently investigate and discover at their own pace.This sequential presentation of conceptual lectures in the classroom followed by experimentaldemonstrations (theory first, practice later) also results in a disconnect between theory andapplication and delayed reinforcement.

Although the use of this technology ispedagogically sound, one shortcoming, particularly in engineering education, is the necessity ofquestions in the multiple-choice format. Students have a propensity to guess an answer from themenu given, thereby injecting noise into the feedback loop. This format also makes it moredifficult to pose open-ended questions and those that require higher order thinking.We use mobile technology to explore beyond the collection and
