| Are you looking for ways to engage ALL of your students, even in large classes? Imagine if you could give a pop quiz, on the fly, to a group of 500 students and have it graded as soon as students turn in their answers. Student Response Systems (sometimes referred to as Classroom Performance Systems) can do both of these things and more. This short course will provide participants with an overview of the features and pedagogical applications of student response systems. Participants will learn how these systems promote discussion, capture students' attention, and engage every student in class, even those in the back row of large lecture halls. In-class quizzing and other assessment features will be shown as well. The response system concept has been around for decades, but the technology has finally advanced to the point where any faculty member with a laptop or in-class computer can utilize this in his/her courses. Faculty that wish to use a student response system will be given one at the end of the session (either Mac or PC), and clear information will be provided that details what is required of students in your course. Those that take a system are encourage to participate in Student Response Systems (Part Two) - a hands-on session that will help you begin to use your system in your classes. | |||
