This paper presents an enhanced sonic data communication method using TAPIR (Theoretically Audible, but Practically Inaudible Range: frequencies above 18kHz) sound and a software toolkit as its implementation. Using inaudible sound as a data medium, a digital data network among the audience and performer can be easily built with microphones and speakers, without requiring any additional hardwar...

Our Focus, Locus and Sensus (FLS) model of experience suggests that digital media that have this effect also generate a strong sense of presence (Waterworth and Waterworth, 200...

Background and Objective Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) are commonly used in medical education for formative summative assessment. However, the use of MCQs as a pedagogical tool lectures is an area that yet to be fully explored. This study aimed gather feedback on including using Online Audience Response System (OARS). Methods quasi-experimental involved 114 first professional MBBS students. ...
