- Title
The Clicker Challenge: Using a Reader Response System in the (British) History Classroom.
- Authors
Dean, David
- Abstract
The author discusses his use of Audience Response Systems (ARS), also known as clickers, in a second-year university class in North America on the subject of Early Modern Britain. He argues that clickers can not only increase student engagement in the classroom, but serve as significantly valuable tools in introducing students to different methods utilized by historians, particularly the use of evidence, the evaluation of arguments, and familiarity with historiography. The author discusses his use of clickers to measure student comprehension, the use of slides to present questions to students, and adapting examination questions based on the use of clickers.
