Description
Students arrive on campus equipped with a pocket full of
electronic tools; adding one more devise to the
collection makes sense if enhancement of learning
increases. Privacy issues are a concern, possibly
balanced by immediacy of feedback and opportunity to
clarify lecture content. Rapid assessment and
capability for consensus determination makes ERS a
flexible tool for large class sections and meetings as
well. The purpose of this session is to discuss ERS
utilization, features to consider in selection,
compatibility with existing hardware and software,
strategies for smooth implementation, and pitfalls
unique to the educational environment.
In
this hour audio seminar participants will gain insight
to: identify variety of systems available; financial and
personal investment; effectiveness in gaining student
feedback and measuring learning; privacy and security
issues; tailoring the teaching and learning experience;
and special concerns for faculty.
