File pdf 323KB

This session demonstrates the use of clickers in creating discussion and debate among students (collaborative learning) and increasing the amount of student-teacher interactions in management classes. Advantages and potential disadvantages of clickers will be reviewed. Qualitative and quantitative results from two student surveys on the use of clickers in classroom will be presented. Then, I will demonstrate a number of ways clickers can be used to make learning more interactive and to engender discussion among students. Finally, the audience will participate in an interactive dialogue and brainstorming about additional techniques for the use of clickers in creating class discussions.
