Enhancing Teaching with Audience Response Systems: A Comprehensive Overview

Audience Response Systems (ARS) allow students to engage with instructors through handheld devices to answer prompts and questions, revolutionizing classroom interaction. ARS technology facilitates real-time feedback, improving attendance, participation, and overall student achievement. With varied tools like cell phones, laptops, and keypads, instructors can dynamically adjust their teaching methods based on student responses. This system enhances the learning experience through continuous feedback, ensuring better understanding and engagement, thus elevating teaching quality.

  1. Technology: Integrating Teaching and Learning Audience Response Systems Greg Muscelli

  2. Audience Response System • An audience response system (ARS) is a system which allows students to respond to instructor prompts or questions through a hand held device (Micheletto, 2011). The ARS records and displays student responses (Micheletto, 2011). • Most ARSs allow the instructor to display student results to the class.

  3. ARS Hardware and Software • Hardware needed • Student handheld device: cell phone, laptop, keypad, etc. • Instructor computer • If the ARS is not Web-based, the instructor will also need a receiver • Visual device: monitor, projector, etc. • ARS • Web-based ARS • ARS Software/System

  4. The Research on ARSs • ARSs have been found to improve student attendance, attention, participation, student achievement, and engagement (Kay & LeSage, 2009). • ARSs allow instructors to use student feedback to modify instruction (Kay & LeSage, 2009). In turn, this improves student understanding and teacher quality (Kay & LeSAge, 2009).

  5. ARS uses • Assessments • Quizzes, Tests, etc. • Facilitate Discussions • Interactive Lectures • Trivia • Review

  6. How have we used ARSs? • Department Meeting • Trivia • Discussions • Class Warm-Up • Exit Card
