Peer reviewedDufresne, Robert J.; And Others – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 1996
College physics teachers describe their experience using a computer-based classroom communication system that facilitates presentation of questions for small-group work, collection of student answers, and display of histograms showing how the class answered, all feeding into classwide discussions. The technique engages students in active learning…
