Fostering Active Learning: A Study on Anonymous Q&A Software in Undergraduate Education

This research explores strategies for using one-way anonymous Q&A software to enhance class participation and teaching effectiveness of undergraduate students. The study finds that undergraduate students, influenced by cultural factors, ed-ucational systems, and upbringing environments, tend to display introverted psychological traits, resulting in insufficient class participation. One-way anonymous Q&A software significantly improves student participation enthusiasm through mechanisms such as breaking psychological barriers, promoting deep thinking, enhancing classroom interaction, and providing diverse feedback. Case analysis shows that by introducing the proposed anonymous Q&A software to teaching activities, students asked questions more frequently, and the quality of questions also improved accordingly with a wider adoption of the software. Besides, it also shows that the learning interests of students have increased after using the software. The research suggests that future studies should deepen technological innovation, pro-mote teaching model reform, and strengthen interdisciplinary integration to better meet the needs of a modern educational environment in universities.
