nTAG is a wearable technology that supports communication between individuals.
nTAGs can be used in a classroom to determine how well students understand the concepts being taught. Each student can answer a question on his/her nTAG. The data is then collected and transmitted to the instructor's computer so he/she can monitor the knowledge of the students. (Like the "ask the audience" option on Who Wants to be a Millionaire.)
nTAGs can also be used in distance education for group discussion. Instructors have used nTAGs to send their student specific instructions in labs and practicums.
