Response
systems and their use in the classroom to foster a more active
learning environment is neither a new technology nor a novel
concept. Papers written on their use stretch
back over 30 years, many written about the university experience.
But every university has a unique character based on its
faculty,
student population,
internal administrative structure, and physical location.
There is certainly wisdom to be gained from reading about
the experiences
of
other colleges and universities with response systems, but
as
you
browse the links below, remember that, in the end, classroom
response systems at Tufts will reflect our wholly unique,
wholly "Tufts" flavor. Perhaps, this time next
year, there will be articles posted on other web sites about
the Tufts CRS pilot experience.
