We propose an innovative way to facilitate student's communication during in-class collaborative exercises using an embedded device as a means to enhance students' interaction in the group. We first describe how the prototype version of the system has been built to be as versatile as possible. We discuss the current state of the system both from the student and the professor perspectives. We discuss the necessary developments this system must have to be used for a large class setting. We believe that, once moved from prototype to full working system, such a system has the potential to provide a unique pedagogical environment that could be adapted for disciplines other than computer science.
