Bartsch, Robert A.; Murphy, Wendy – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2011
This experiment examines the causal effect an electronic classroom response system (ECRS) has on students. Previous studies using an ECRS in the classroom indicate improved performance; however, many have confounds typical of classroom studies. To complement these studies, we conducted a laboratory study to minimize these confounds and concentrate…

Duhon, Gary J.; Mesmer, Eric M.; Atkins, Michelle E.; Greguson, Lezlee A.; Olinger, Erika S. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2009
Response to intervention (RTI) has been discussed as a new model of assessment. Although the basic process by which RTI works has received frequent attention in the literature, the available research leaves several important questions unanswered (Kavale et al. in Learn Disabil Q 28(1): 2-16, 2005). One concept within RTI that has received little…
