EVS: verdict • Can be achieved thru flashcard, hands etc. BUT • Anonymous – response is independent • Not knowing other students responses helps in the discussion • Immediate & accurate • Public – involves all students (good for large classes) Dr Andrew Oliver Dr Andrew Oliver (a.oliver@herts.ac.uk) EVS Workshop 3rd March 2006

Current limitations • 64 handsets max. • but can use in groups • Lose 5 – 10 minutes lecture time • format may change anyway • Storing results is difficult • though not impossible • Totally anonymous • for now… • Some questions may not work • Yes/no suits class wide better than MCQ Dr Andrew Oliver Dr Andrew Oliver (a.oliver@herts.ac.uk) EVS Workshop 3rd March 2006
