Using Student Response Systems in the College Classroom
EDTC 6320 Collaborative Project

A Problem to be Addressed:
College classes containing 30-50 students may be a challenge for some instructors but most would consider it manageble. Now, imagine a class containing 100 or more students. Imagine what it would be like to be the instructor of that class. Or, imagine what it would be like to be a student in that class. It doesn't take much imagination to consider the challenges and related problems of such a setting -- for both teacher and student.
The focus of this project is the problem of low student participation in large college classes. We believe a solution exists that not only addresses this problem but also addresses several other related problems common to both instructors and students involved in large classes. That solution is the use of a student response system, commonly called "clickers."
Research Focus & Assigned Roles:
Our team used the ADDIE model to identify a common problem in the college classroon and to find a strong solution. ADDIE is a five-phase systematic instructional design model where each phase has an outcome that feeds into the next phase of the sequence.
