Improve student interaction and engagement with participant response tools | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it

Class participation tools can facilitate student engagement with each other, the subject content and the lecturer. They enable students to interact in large lectures by answering questions, leading to an improved understanding of the content. Class participation tools also gives the student a voice and an opportunity to share their opinions and contribute to the session – ideal for those quieter students who are not often heard in large teaching spaces (many tools enable anonymised responses).

Class participation tools can also be used to get feedback on your own teaching, for example the session you have just delivered. They could be used for mid-modules evaluations. In this blog post, we will look at five class participation tools being used at York St John University. Each have their pros and cons, so it’s important that you select the right tool for the job.
