Use an Audience Response System to Boost Your Students’ Performance

By Nathan Jones


Anyone can feel the pressure when learning in a classroom setting.One reason is that students find it hard to follow the lessons because the subject is too difficult.It can also be because the tedious nature of the subject makes it hard for them to pay attention.In this event; students are not just the ones that are affected; teachers can also become aggravated, and this can result in conflicts with students or delays in the flow of lessons.If you think that your students are not responding well to visual aids and tutoring sessions, you can turn to other, more advanced venues, such as an audience reply system.

An audience feedback system is a technology designed to track audience responses and increase interactivity between the audience and the presenter or instructor.In some cases, remote audiences watching television or surfing the Net respond using the telephone or web polls.Co-located audiences, on the other hand, use wireless hardware to click in their response, which are then delivered to presentation software that tracks these audience feedback.In school settings, this is called a student response system.

Students are able to interact with their teachers more conveniently with a student response system.With the use of a hand-held device, also called a ‘clicker’, students can digitally relay their answers to any poll or multiple choice question.Afterwards, these answers are transmitted to a receiver that connects to the instructor’s computer, and the results show him or her if students are able to grasp the lessons well.

A great advantage of this teaching method is that, because answers are delivered anonymously, students will be more willing to share their answers without fear that they will be criticized if they make mistakes.On top of that, teachers will be able to use this system to find out where students may need further pointers or explanations.When a student uses a response system, his or her ability to retain necessary information in class can also increase.Also, the idea of using a clicker to teach a class is so unique that students might find it fun, and might even be encouraged to pay more attention.

An audience response system in the classroom is a great investment.It will improve students’ learning experience, as well as their relationship with each other and with their teachers.
