"Wireless Response Technology in College
Classrooms" By
H. Arthur Woods and
Charles Chiu |
| Recent advances in wireless technology
provide interesting and effective solutions to two
perennial problems in large-classroom teaching. The
first of these is how to encourage students to
participate actively. |

"Audience Response System: Effect on Learning in Family
Medicine Residents," University of Illinois at Chicago |
| The use of an electronic audience
response system (ARS) that promotes active participation
during lectures has been shown to improve retention rates
of factual information in non-medical settings. This study
(1) tested the hypothesis that the use of an ARS during
didactic lectures can improve learning outcomes by family
medicine residents. . . |

"Effective Use of Audience Response System- A Primer,"
Ohio State Univ. Center for Education Research and
Evaluation |
| The effective educational use of the
ARS requires careful planning and attention to learning
objectives. Before designing your question slides, make
sure that your use of interactive participation technology
is linked to a clear educational objective. The ARS should
be used for the following types of purpose. . . |

| Over two thousand years ago, Socrates
realized that people understand more by answering a
question, than by being told an answer. Now, science has
helped to explain reasons behind this counter-intuitive
idea, and shown why it works so well. |

University of Minnesota discussion of pros and
cons of current classroom response systems |
| A new technology is emerging on campus
with potential applicability in classrooms. This
technology is designed to provide interactive
communications between individual students in a class and
the teacher. Known by various names such as Student,
Personal or Group Response Systems (SRS, PRS, and GRS)
this basic technology has exciting potential as an
additional pedagogical tool available to the faculty in
classrooms. |
