ARSnova is a web-based Audience Response System which allows you to get instant feedback from your students. It helps you to get a better understanding about the learning progress of your students and to identify topics which might need to be discussed in more detail.
Presenter is an ARSnova frontend for lecturers intended to be used for preparation and presentation of ARSnova sessions. It focuses on modern didactic concepts, especially Peer Instruction. But it can still be used for quick and simple surveys.
In contrast to ARSnova Mobile, Presenter targets desktop browsers. It is designed to be fully compatible with the mobile frontend.
Presenter is open source software. If you are a developer, interested in didactics and want to help us making it even better, you might also want to take a look at the information for contributors.
Presenter is provided packaged as a web archive file (.war) which can be
deployed on a Java servlet container. You can download it from the
releases page or
build it yourself with Grunt
(grunt package). Usually it is enough to copy this file to the webapps
directory of the container. Since Presenter does not contain any code that has
to be run on the server side, it is also possible to use it with a standard web
server. In this case extract the contents of the .war file with an archiving
tool of your choice.
Presenter depends on the ARSnova API which is provided by ARSnova Backend. Refer to its own documentation for installation steps. In case you intent to run Presenter on a different (sub)domain than the backend, you need to setup the backend for cross-origin resource sharing (CORS).
