An Alternative to ClickersHave you used 'clickers' (like Qwizdom) in other classes?

Page 14: LectureTools: A Powerful Web-Based Alternative to Clickers Perry Samson samson@umich.edusamson@umich.edu Perry Samson samson@umich.edusamson@umich.edu.

Critiquing ClickersDesign

The scope of questions are limited

Students can’t ask questions

Not integrated with other learning strategies

Use

Students feel they’re used mostly to take attendance

Question design is key.

An Alternative to ClickersGiven the option which would you prefer:

Page 16: LectureTools: A Powerful Web-Based Alternative to Clickers Perry Samson samson@umich.edusamson@umich.edu Perry Samson samson@umich.edusamson@umich.edu.

Student Feedback:

1. I really prefer the use of lecturetools compared to "the clicker". 

2. I feel that lecture tools is very efficient and really helps me stay organized. 

3. I feel that lecturetools is a much more interactive system than the clicker.  It is very easy to access and use, and provides a multitude of note taking options. 

4. Printing out 10 pages of slides for every class is a horrible waste of paper.  This system is extremely efficient and very well put together. 

Page 17: LectureTools: A Powerful Web-Based Alternative to Clickers Perry Samson samson@umich.edusamson@umich.edu Perry Samson samson@umich.edusamson@umich.edu.

Student Feedback:5. I only wish that I had more classes using this system as it would save me a lot of money and a lot of headaches. 

• I find the fact that I can ask questions directly to a GSI and get an immediate answer (or read others' questions and see those responses) to be really helpful

• My favorite feature, however, is the fact that this is all available online, and for free, which is $35 less than "the clicker."

• I think it's far superior to Quizdom. I've found that most people seem to use Quizdom only as a way to check attendance.

Faculty Concerns:1. To what degree will the introduction of laptops into class introduce distractions?

2. To what degree will the introduction of laptops into class change attentiveness?

3. To what degree will the introduction of laptops into class change engagement?

4. To what degree will the introduction of laptops into class change student learning?

“How do you feel that your use of laptops in this class has changed the time you spend on tasks unrelated to the lecture?”

Page 20: LectureTools: A Powerful Web-Based Alternative to Clickers Perry Samson samson@umich.edusamson@umich.edu Perry Samson samson@umich.edusamson@umich.edu.

“In classes where you do not use a laptop, what percentage of time do you estimate you are engaged in tasks not pertaining to that course?”

“My attentiveness in this class has increased due to laptop use”

Page 26: LectureTools: A Powerful Web-Based Alternative to Clickers Perry Samson samson@umich.edusamson@umich.edu Perry Samson samson@umich.edusamson@umich.edu.

“In this class laptops help me to be engaged during lecture”

Page 27: LectureTools: A Powerful Web-Based Alternative to Clickers Perry Samson samson@umich.edusamson@umich.edu Perry Samson samson@umich.edusamson@umich.edu.

“Do you feel that the use of your laptop in class has affected your learning?”

Page 28: LectureTools: A Powerful Web-Based Alternative to Clickers Perry Samson samson@umich.edusamson@umich.edu Perry Samson samson@umich.edusamson@umich.edu.

1. Students admit that the presence of laptops in class adds distraction.

2. Distraction appears to affect women more than men.

Laptops are a source of distraction:

1. Students feel laptops help then be more engaged .

2. Students feel laptops help then be more attentive.

3. Students feel laptops have a positive affect on their learning.

Regardless, laptops are viewed as positive
