Calma, Angelito; Webster, Beverley; Petry, Stefan; Pesina, Jenny – Australian Journal of Adult Learning, 2014
A quick polling initiative was tested in finance classes using multiple choice questions to determine whether it can improve student interaction and engagement in a large class. Students (n = 446) responded using either a smartphone app (53%) or by using pen and paper (47%). Immediate feedback was provided to students using charts that were…
