  1. Knut Bjørkli (knut.b.rolstad@ntnu.no) Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) Student response system SRS

  2. Course contents • Introduction to student response systems • Practical demo of SRS • Discussion of methodology

  3. Whatareyourexpectations to thiscourse?

  4. Introduction • What is a student response system? • Advantagesoffered to students and teachers • Using response systems in theclassroom

  5. What is SRS? • Technology whichallows students to participateactively in classes • All students canparticipate • Students get a response from theteacher («Did I understand this»)? • The teachergets a response from the students («Didthey understand what I just explained»?) • Participantsareanonymous

  6. Advantagesofresponse systems • Students stayfocused for longer • Interaction and engagement in theclassroom • Anonymityensuresthat students are not afraid to answer • Students get immediate feedback ontheirlearning • Teachergets immediate feedback on his/her teaching (self-evaluation)

  7. In theclassroom 1 2 3 Put a question Click on the answer Result on big screen Response in 1-2-3

  8. Using a response system • Startingpoint: normal classes/lectures • The teacherpresentsthequestion/quiz to the students • Students workonthe problem (individually or in groups) • Theyvoteusing a mobile device • Resultsappearimmediately • Learning activitiesensue (e.g. teacherelaboration)

  9. Using SRS as a student

  10. What do students need to vote? • Anydevicewithwifior 3G/4G connection and a web browser • For example: • smartphones (iPhone, Androidphones etc.) • tablet PCs (iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab etc.) • laptop computer

  17. The teacherinterface

  18. What is theteacherinterface? • The program theteacheruses to run and controlvotes • It’s a program which is installedontheteacher’s computer • The teacher logs on to thisinterface at the start ofclasses

  19. Familiarizing yourself withtheteacherinterface • Following the instructions in this leaflet, please complete the the following tasks: • Create a user account • Log in and create a sessioncode • Run a question with one selectable alternative • Run a question with several selectable alternatives • Run a question session in whichtheresults do notappearautomatically • Switch betweenshowingabsolutenumbers and percentages in resultgraphs • Comparetworesultgraphs side-by-side • Exportresults to a spreadsheet (e.g. Excel or OpenOffice Calc)

  20.  You create your SRS user account • You will use this account both as «student» (anwering non-anonymous tests) and as «teacher» (creating tests) • Fill in the form on this URL to create your account: https://goo.gl/P9Y2FG

  33. Discussionofmethodology

  34. How do I make good SRS questions? • What type ofquestion do youwant to ask – factual or conceptual? • Rephrasethequestionifyouuse questions from othersources (e.g. textbooks) • Avoidvague or ambigious questions (ifit’s a factualone) • Prepare a thoroughexplanationfor thereview • Onlyexperiencewill show which questions work, and whichdon’t!

  35. Shouldthere be an alternative «I don’tknow»? • A lot of students wantoneofthe alternatives to be «I don’tknow» • This gives students a mechanism to tell theteacherthattheyareunsureofwhattheanswer is • Signals theteacher to do a particularlythoroughreview • Some students refuse to participateifthe «I don’tknow» alternative is not present

  36. Design a set of questions for use with SRS • Create 3 – three – questions that you would like to ask your students using SRS • We will run some of these questions in front of the others

  37. Different SRS methodologies «Traditional» Show question Discussion Vote Teacherreview «Peer instruction» Show question Individualthinking First vote Discussion Second vote Teacherreview The difference is here

  38. The «peer instruction» method • Thorouglytestedmethodwhich lets students learn from theirfellow students («peers») • Developed by physics professor Eric Mazur at Harvard University

  39. 3. Students discuss the question and answer a second time 4. Teacher addresses responses Peer instruction 1. Cycle starts here with an SRS question 2. Students work individually with the question and answer using a mobile device

  40. Whichmethod is better? • No definiteanswer – thereare so manyways to use SRS • PhD done at HiST in 2012 madethefollowingconclusionsabout «peer instruction»: • The first vote lets students form theirown opinion • This makes thembetterprepared and more eager to contribute in thefollowingdiscussion

  41. The teacher’srolewhenusingresponse systems From this…

  42. SRS and theteacher’srole • Beforeclasses • Preparegood questions • During classes • Improvisation • Facilitate peer learning • Provide feedback • Afterclasses • Self-evaluation • Use student feedback to shapeteachingpractises

  43. The teacher’sexplanation during thereview • Important to do a proper review • Which alternative(s) werecorrect? • Which alternative(s) wereincorrect? • Why? • This is thephasewherelearninghappens, according to students

  44. Impactof SRS onlearningoutcomes • Students report enhancedmotivation and engagement • Theyuse immediate feedback to shapethewaytheylearn • Anecdote: «Lowest-performingclasstransformedinto best-performingclassusing SRS»

  45. Thankyou for yourattention! • Questions or comments?
