About this app

Handy tool for teachers and professors. Useful whenever a student has to be selected randomly or sub-groups of students need to be assembled.

Features:
‣ Random generator
‣ Sound effects (optional)
‣ Course and sub-course management
‣ Sub-course generator

Random student selection with various display options:
• Standard: Displayed student names will change in rapid sequence. When you tap the screen the sequence will stop and show the selected student.
• Spinner wheel: Spin the wheel by swiping the screen. The wheel has all selectable students on it. When it stops the selected student will be displayed.

Selection modes in random mode:
• Repeating: The selected students will stay available in the following random round.
• One-time only: Selected students will be removed from the available students and cannot be selected again in the following rounds.
Absent students can be deselected before starting random mode.

Personalization:
• Choose sound effects from your device to be played when starting or stopping the random generator.
• Select a color or image to be displayed in the background when using the random generator.

Forming groups:
• Build a group (sub-course) from selected students or randomly generate sub-courses by specifying the number of groups or number of students per group.
• Optional assignment of colors to sub-groups for easier group organization or allocation of work materials to groups.

Student database:
• Either manually enter your students or import them via CSV file from Tapucate.
• Assignment to multiple courses and sub-courses is possible.
• No confusion if students have got the same name by displaying the surname if necessary.

Who's Next is suitable for visualization on a tablet or smartphone, as well as broadcasting to a digital board or using a projector.
This app has been tested and developed in close collaboration with teachers of primary schools, secondary schools and colleges.

Ratings and reviews

It was a nice app. My only comment is about it's look visually. I suggest to have a much lighter pastel of colors on the wheel and not so formal looking image. Like a child game visual

I love this app for my classroom. I wish it was available for my laptop. I do cast it to my screen in my classroom, but it would be more convenient if it were assessable on my laptop.

The animation when choosing a name will slow down discussion, and students can't see it anyway, so the drama of the spinning wheel is lost.
