  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).
