Paper Abstract:
|
This paper describes a universitys experience employing audience response systems (clickers) and interactive podcasting
to facilitate students acquisition of advanced skills in reasoning and reflective learning. Innovative in-class and online
instructional designs that employ multimedia (images, graphics, video, audio prompts) are enabled using clicker and
podcasting technologies to realize benefits in learning outcomes that go beyond merely increasing participation in class
and after class. The instructional designs embed assessment and feedback within instruction, create collaborative
communities of learners, and amplify instruction through engaging students to interact with both content and process
knowledge. Operational aspects of the universitys experience in initiating and refining use of clicker systems is
described, and data are presented from descriptive research exploring students satisfaction with use of clickers. |
