ClassMood App (https://classmood.upf.edu) is a classroom tool that helps teachers create the mood for learning. It aims to help make teaching and learning more enjoyable. It provides teachers with mood changing activities for their classroom and works toward helping students take control of their moods.

ClassMood App is applicable to multiple educational contexts from primary school to higher education. It has been developed in a collaboration with experts from neuroscience, education and learning design and tested with students from upper primary to university.

How does it work?

When it’s too hot or too cold, it is hard to learn as we can’t stop thinking about how uncomfortable it is. But once we notice the temperature, we can adjust it as needed and free up space in our heads for thinking. Positive moods and states can free up space for thinking and learning. This is the concept of ClassMood App.

The technology is a responsive and free-to-use web-based tool. Teachers can simply create a mood measuring event and share the unique code with your students. Each student can anonymously select their current mood and add the cause of their mood. 

The App provides teachers with real-time data via a teacher’s dashboard to identify the aggregate mood of a class and recommends classroom activities to help teachers guide learners to moods that are more conducive to learning. Activities include mindfulness breathing activities and social games involving movement.

ClassMood App is available in seven languages: English, Danish, Spanish, Finnish, Greek, Portuguese and Catalan.
