Talking Tools provides a set of tools for teachers and students, that make the learning process more interactive. The tools enable real-time documentation, sharing of information and teacher feedback in courses and projects.

Teachers open courses and invite students to it. Relevant material can be attached to the course for students to review. Progress is documented in real-time with a mini-blog to where students can submit text and photos using their mobile phones. Teachers review student progress and can add their own comments.

UpCode tag technology was used to make starting interactions easier. Scan a code with your phone and get right into a project. The solution was designed first and foremost for mobile phones. Mobile functionality being a focus due to accessibility.

Launched in fall 2011 as a cooperative study in use of technology in education by Åbo Akademi, MediaCity and UpCode. This being a cooperation with a school, we could get feedback from the real target audience. The solution is still being used in classes at Åbo Akademi today.
