Paper Abstract:	Quality is often being the victim when an educational education is rapidly growing. Engelkemeyer [1] classifies the drawbacks of current higher education into poor teaching, anachronistic programs, incoherent curricula, excessive price and growing and inefficient administrative bureaucracies. Parthasarathy et al [2] reveals two factors that most influence the quality of higher education are quality of seminars and industry exposure. This study aims at increasing the quality of education through the development of Student Response Capturing System (SRCS). SRCS is developed to capture the response/feedback from students during lecture. This is a different approach from conventional evaluation system that captures the response from students at the end of the semester. Survey conducted by the authors about EDOM (system to capture lecturer evaluation by students at the end of semester) owned by an university, showed that the students recognize the need for a measuring instrument (EDOM) as a means to improve the quality of teaching and learning, but they did not feel the concrete positive impact of the presence of EDOM. From this survey, it can be concluded that it is necessary to modify the online tool in order to maximize its capability in capturing feedback/response. Modification that needs to be done is the changing time from the previous one in the end of the semester to be at the time of the learning process takes place, so that the lecturer can recognize the quality of ongoing learning process and directly improve it. This study includes several phases, which are: requirement gathering, field study, design, construction, and implementation. Expected results of this study is a monitoring tool in education and ICT; tool and input for measuring the success of institutional policy; Knowledge Management Portal to improve the quality of teaching and learning; diversifying teaching methods according to the lecture characteristics obtained from feedback/response from students; as well as medium for students to participate in improving the quality of teaching and learning in a proactive and transparent way.
