What Teachers Are Saying
Trusted by lecturers and students across Sri Lankan universities
"My students used to complain the wheel always picked the same three kids. This actually spreads participation evenly and they trust it more."
"I run this on the projector during discussion and the class can see exactly who's left in the pool. Cuts down on the 'not me again' complaints completely."
"Simple, does one thing well. The pick history is a nice touch for keeping track of who's answered already."
