Clickers and Poll Everywhere
Also known as "Student Response" or "Audience Response," clicker systems enable an instructor to pose a question or problem and have students respond by pressing buttons on a device that looks like a TV remote. The instructor’s computer analyzes the responses and displays a summary. Some of the systems integrate with PowerPoint. Online polling sites like Poll Everywhere allow students to use cell phones or laptops instead of clickers.
Use in teaching & learning
Potential instructional benefits include the ability to gauge student comprehension, to encourage class participation, and to keep students engaged. The instructor can pose impromptu questions or conduct an opinion survey. Questions posed with Poll Everywhere can be embedded into a Concourse page.
