Inspiration
We all know how much time we waste on checking our smartphones during the lectures.
What it does
Thus, we made an app to track our phone usage during the lecture, and compare it with our local university peers afterwards. We measure the "wasted time" by the time the phone screen is on. Since being on the phone is not bad when not on a lecture, we only measure the on-time during the self-reported lecture interval. When the lecture ends, the user gets a non-intrusive notification about the percentage of the lecture spent on checking the phone. The accumulated data is then sent to a server, where it is aggregated per-user and per-university.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
It works!
What we learned
Way too much to express so consisely that you could read it without getting bored.
What's next for LecturePotato
Deploying it at University of Primorska, TU Munich, and of course the University of Ljubljana. Also, polish it until it is shiny!
LecturePotato?!
You know how many people are actually couch potatoes?... Even more of them are Potatoes during the lectures. Don't be a Lecture Potato, get LecturePotato!
