Clickers

After an extensive evaluation of various student response systems, TurningPoint has been selected for use at Queen's University. The technology can be used to provide students in large classes with a more interactive learning experience: it enables instructors to integrate questions into PowerPoint Presentations, view student responses in real-time, and modify the lecture based on student feedback.
