Student Response

Student response sites, systems, and apps can be used for informal, formative assessment in the classroom. They also provide a way to promote student-teacher and student-student interaction, even with large classes.

What is formative assessment?

Refer to Carnegie Mellon University’s Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence & Educational Innovation.
The goal of formative assessment is to monitor student learning to provide ongoing feedback that can be used by instructors to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning.
  • Poll students for an answer to a question and display the answer distribution as a graph.
  • Encourage student engagement with questions during a lecture.
