Direct linkDonohue, Shane – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2014
The use of audience response systems (ARSs) or "clickers" in higher education has increased over the recent years, predominantly owing to their ability to actively engage students, for promoting individual and group learning, and for providing instantaneous feedback to students and teachers. This paper describes how group-based ARS…

Nedic, Zorica; Nafalski, Andrew; Machotka, Jan – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2010
Over the past few years many universities worldwide have introduced a common first year for all engineering disciplines. This is despite the opinion of many academics that large classes have negative effects on the learning outcomes of first year students. The University of South Australia is also faced with low motivation amongst engineering…
