Costs

This is a low-cost activity (given that you have the smartphones).

You need one smartphone per group.

Although it seems this is becoming a commodity.

Network access: we bought 20 euro pre-paid cards per phone.


Next Future

Create community around the application.

Try it out in other environments.

Have easy-to-organize (almost ad-hoc) gymkhanas.

Move from informal to formal learning (among others, thismeans working on assessment of the learning).


Results

New types of challenges made possible by technology.

Reduction of human resources.

More control on the participating groups.

Permanent, immediate and distance communication.

Dynamic real-time modification of a gymkhana.

Less time to organize a gymkhana.

Reduction in cost.


Please, use it!

It is free software.
