"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.
This is especially true when the goals of clicker use are explained
to the class before they're used, and when clickers are used
in peer instruction: when students are encouraged to debate answers with
classmates before answering." Publications by Dr. Duncan:
