Using Clickers to Engage Students and Maximize Learning

You know student engagement is important for learning, but it’s not always easy to activate, especially in large classrooms.

Students may limit participation because they’re intimidated, unprepared, shy or scared.

Worse yet, if they’re lost, you won’t know it.

Fortunately, new technology in the form of student-response systems can help you connect with students, even in the largest lecture hall.  Not only will your students learn more, and at a higher cognitive level, but you’ll also have a greater ability to assess their progress.

Also known as clickers, Ike Shibley, Ph.D., says these systems can be used in learner-centered teaching to prompt discussion, do practice problems, assess student preparation and understanding and to gather students’ opinions about the course and its content.

Practice New Ways to Use Technology to Promote Student Engagement

Shibley introduces clicker technology, shows you how to craft questions to maximize student engagement and learning, and teaches you how to design an entire course to make the most of this learner-centered teaching technology.

Once you can use clicker technology in the classroom, you can deliver multiple benefits to your students and your institution:

• Clickers deepen student engagement, which pedagogical research suggests enriches student learning
• With clicker data collection, you can develop more robust assessment practices
• Clickers provide the instant feedback Millennial Generation students crave
• As clicker technology becomes more widespread, institutions without it will be at a disadvantage.

What You’ll Learn

• The many different ways you can use clickers in a class
• How to write multiple choice clicker questions and avoid common pitfalls
• How to create clicker questions to engage students at higher intellectual levels
• How to design a course to enhance student learning and learner-centered teaching.
