  1. Why use the Interactive Response System?

  2. The Problem • Still using the paper tests, with the paper answer keys. • Students don’t get immediate feedback • Turnaround on the grade is too long • Students move on from the topic without reinforced learning.

  3. The Solution

  4. What is an interactive response system? • Provide immediate feedback • No delays in getting results • Makes sure everyone participates • Work at your pace • It’s totally cool !!

  5. NEED • ALL students can use. • No fear of ridicule. • No fear of being embarrassed.

  6. So what? Why spend all that $$ ? • Easily import / export data. • Results shown in a bar graph or pie chart. • Individual or classroom • Works with Excel

  7. RESEARCH • Methods. Students enrolled in 3 courses, Clinical Pharmacokinetics, Medical Literature Evaluation, • and Pathophysiology and Therapeutics, were taught using either a traditional lecture format (study year • 1) or an ISR system format (study year 2). Primary outcomes of interest were performance on examinations • and student attitudes. • Results. Students using the ISR system had better scores on the Clinical Pharmacokinetics examination • questions (mean scores, 82.6% ± 9.6% vs 63.8% ± 8.3%, p <0.001), on the cumulative final examination • for Medical Literature Evaluation (82.9% ±11.5% vs 78.0% ± 12.2%, p = 0.016), and on the • evaluable “analysis type” examination questions in the Pathophysiology and Therapeutics course • (82.5% ± 8.7% vs 77.4% ± 12.5%, p = 0.0002). Students using the ISR system in all 3 courses were • positive about the system. • Conclusion. The ISR system was a useful tool for encouraging active student learning and was well • received by students. This system can be efficiently used to gauge student understanding in the classroom • and enhance student performance. • American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education 2004; 68 (5) article 117

  8. We are here. The innovation has taken off ! 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2008 2009 2007 2010

  9. So who uses them? (with students) • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05EGhR1zNXw • Click on above video to launch a teacher’s view on using the interactive response units in her classroom.

  10. Usefulness in Classrooms • Instant feedback • Get to know whether each student understands what they are doing. • Learning if FUN!
