What are they?
Clickers are remote personal response systems that are similar to small tv remote controls and they work in the same way using radio frequency technology to transmit and record student responses or 'votes' to questions, concepts or MCQs in class. The system allows for active student participation either as individuals or groups in class. Clickers faciliates immediate feedback to the instructors tailored to the class group.
