Abstract—This article discusses the design and implementation of Interactive Class Room (ICR) system as an efficient tool to be integrated in the Arab Open University (AOU) Learning Management System (LMS). ICR initially implemented for android platform but will be enhanced in the near future to support other platforms as well. It is a classroom teaching aid that was established to execute an effective learning process to facilitate a productive interaction between the learner and the tutor using tablet devices. It is developed to use WI-FI technology as a network infrastructure-connecting tool. It also helps to build an environment that combines conventional and technical aspects of teaching for the benefit of the learners. ICR is a new generation application allows the learners study online, and help them to have an easy way to communicate with their tutor inside the class. Through this application, a lot of problems can be resolved in terms of cost, satisfaction, time management and communication. One of the enhanced features of the system is MOOCs Test [1], in which, tutor can create different type of exam and publish them.
