Moorleghen, Dylan M.; Oli, Naresh; Crowe, Alison J.; Liepkalns, Justine S.; Self, Casey J.; Doherty, Jennifer H. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2019
Cell phones have long been known as a potential distraction from attention intensive activities such as studying and driving. Many, however, are developing the cell phone as a powerful tool to augment some of these same activities. Audience response systems (ARSs) are a type of teaching tool that allows educators to poll audience members in real…

Addison, Stephen; Wright, Adrienne; Milner, Rachel – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2009
As part of ongoing efforts to enhance teaching practices in a large-class introductory biochemistry course, we have recently tested the effects of using a student response system (clickers) on student exam performances and engagement with the course material. We found no measurable difference in class mean composite examination score for students…
