Audience Response - Clickers

Clicker NXTWhy Clickers?  Morgan Supports TurningTechnology 

Student response technology is an effective tool that helps facilitate pedagogical best practices and enhance student learning.

  • Transform your classroom into an interactive and engaging learning environment.
  • Experience increased attendance and participation - even from those quiet, back-of-the-lecture-hall students.
  • Create open discussions that are fueled by students, rather than forced by you.
  • Gauge student understanding instantly with visual charts in real-time.
  • Provide students review questions that are reflective of their understanding, not just what you think they need work on.
  • Check reading assignments instantly with short quizzes before class and grade assignments instantly.
