📢 Important Notice

GoSoapBox Service Update (Effective 1 April 2025)

GoSoapBox — a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) student response system — will no longer be available after 1 April 2025.

This tool has supported active learning and in-class engagement by allowing students to participate in polls, quizzes, and discussions using Wi-Fi-enabled devices (e.g. laptops, tablets, smartphones). Features such as the Confusion Barometer helped educators gauge student understanding in real time, with options to export data for follow-up analysis.

✅ Supported Alternatives
