Highly interactive learning environments make teaching a fun and pleasant experience. Classroom response technology allows users to increase the level of interaction between the instructor and his/her students, boosting the engagement level of the learners. Classroom response systems utilize wireless hardware technology along with interactive polling software. During an instructional session or assessment, a teacher can use their computer or smartphone to operate the polling software and to display the question content along with the student responses.
Students can answer using their keypads or mobile devices
The students can use keypads or mobile devices to respond to questions asked by the instructor. The result of each individual response is aggregated and displayed graphically in real time. Classroom response systems can be utilized by instructors to grade students and to assess their responsiveness in the classroom. Classroom attendance can also be gathered quickly and easily using a CRS. With the help of group response devices called clickers, students can immediately give their feedback allowing teachers to conduct classroom polls, quizzes and tests with ease.
Increased level of knowledge retention and better understanding of topic
Response technology greatly improves knowledge retention through immediate reinforcement of correct and incorrect responses. A question is asked to a group of learners, the group responds using the clickers or mobile phones and the results along with the correct answer to the question is shown to the group in real-time. Every student can participate in the discussion by using the hand-held device and their responses are collected and stored in the database for further evaluation. Each week, month or semester, the results can be evaluated through reporting and analysis modules built into the software, or online, where data is aggregated and stored in a private account.
Response data is integrated with the Learning Management System (LMS)
Every student is assigned a code (ID) and his or her responses are recorded against that ID. The response data of the student is integrated with the Learning Management Software and it imparts chance to the teacher to closely monitor the performance of the individual student. Another crucial benefit of the Classroom Response Systems is their ability to generate reports from the student’s data stored in the database. This system makes the entire environment of the classroom exciting and more fun-filled.
