Abstract:
Teaching in classic courses offers too little interaction between docents and students and should be improved. Addressed approaches include a range from Simple Voting Systems to Clickers and Audience Response Systems, and interaction and Student motivation may be improved therein. However, different university course settings are affected in different ways by these systems. Therefore, this paper presents a comparison of a selected range of these systems (implemented as tool kits) within two course settings, namely lecture readings and exercise tutorials. These tools are Audience Response Systems, Question and Answer Systems (Q&A Systems), Discussion Systems (Panels), as well as Virtual Whiteboard Feedback Systems. A synopsis of feasibility for different settings is provided and concluded with important results on the distinguishability of Q&A Systems and Panels.
