Student response technology

Student response technology (SRT) such as Quizdom and Activote can provide a fun element to science lessons, but how do they contribute to students' learning? To find out students' perceptions of the value of using such devices to promote learning, Elizabeth Nagy-Shadman and Cynthia Desrochers of Pasadena City College, US, sought the views of 350 students in university science courses taught by five lecturers who used SRT in their lectures.¹
