Learn from these experts who put the H-ITT system in action everyday.

Douglas Duncan Ph.D.
"Wireless student response systems are the most helpful and exciting educational technology I've seen. They do things that really matter in the classroom: let instructors and students immediately know if they are understanding the material, rather than waiting for a test. More that that, they engage students and make learning an active, rather than passive experience. Extensive data shows students learn more and enjoy the engagement."

Randall Isaacson Ph.D.
"As an educational psychologist who teaches teachers, I focus my teaching and research on the teaching-learning process, particularly the impact of learning-to-learn and metacognition. My research has demonstrated that students who are most at risk for failure in college are most likely to overestimate their mastery of course content. There is evidence that this is due to poor metacognitive knowledge monitoring (MKM); students don't know they don't know."

Megan Donahue Ph.D.
"The student transmitter technology has transformed the way I approach teaching a large class. Now, when I think of what I want the students to learn I also try to figure out how to help them learn it, and how to reveal any misconceptions or problems they might have with the material well before I test them on it."
