LIS offers two great classroom response resources to help encourage classroom participation. Poll Everywhere and iClickers allow students to answer questions and polls with a mere click of a button. The uses of these tools are endless. Both of these systems allow for active participation by all students and provides immediate feedback to the instructor about any confusion about the materials being presented. They can be instrumental in turning a passive lecture into an interactive discussion. These tools help support a more effective, more efficient, and more engaging educational experience for students and faculty.
