Use classroom interaction technology to make lectures interactive

«Lectures are common fold in higher education, but their effectiveness is not without discussion. Some reasons for this are the unidirectional flow of information, the lack of students’ engagement, and the lack of interaction with and between students. One method to stimulate and utilize the bi-directional flow of feedback in lectures is through the use of audience response systems (ARSs), often referred to as (physical) ‘clickers’. In short, these allow a lecturer to gauge students’ understanding and misconceptions of the topics discussed, facilitating contingent feedback. There is increasing support for the claim that such methods can enhance interaction, engagement and performance.»
