Classroom Voting Systems Session Outline • • • • Introduction to the Tools Examples of Use Benefits and Challenges How to Use the Systems Different Tools • Handsets – Optivote, TurningPoint, Promethean ActivExpression • BYOD – Socrative, Kahoot, PollEverywhere TurningPoint Question: What faculty do you work in? A. B. C. D. E. FAS FoE FoH More than One Other Kahoot Question: Have you used any of these systems? Examples of Names • 26 terms used in the literature (Kay, 2008), most commonly: – Audience Response Systems – Personal Response Systems – Electronic Voting Systems – Student Response Systems – Classroom Communication Systems – Classroom Response Systems – Electronic Response Systems – Clickers Examples of Uses: 1. Attention • Used in Edge Hill Inductions • Most simple use • Ask questions throughout the lecture and give correct answer • Aim is to try to maintain attention • Don’t overuse Examples of Uses: 2. Peer Instruction • Issues with understanding of concepts in Physics class. • Video of Peer Instruction in action • Pre-lecture reading, ConcepTests, Discussions • e.g. At which location in the diagram below would the waves break closer to the beach? Effects of use in HE • Kay and LeSage (2009) literature review • Classroom (attendance, attention, anonymity) • Learning (interaction and discussion, contingent teaching, learning performance and quality) • Assessment (feedback, formative, compare) Challenges to use in HE • Technology (remembering kit, systems failing) • Teacher-based (responding, coverage, question writing) • Student-based (new method, discussions, summative assessment) Tools we Recommend • Handsets • TurningPoint • BYOD • Kahoot Preparing for a Session • TurningPoint • Preparing. • Using in the session. • Kahoot • Preparing. • Using in the session.
