Personal response system (clickers)
Through the use of handheld response devices (clickers), faculty can survey their students by asking them to vote on a topic or answer a question. The wireless response device communicates with the instructor’s laptop over radio frequency, and the responses are displayed almost immediately. Polling response systems promote student engagement and allow the faculty to gather information that can provide insight into the students' understanding and opinion.
