Using the diverse question types in iClicker to engage students in the classroom
Whitney Duim
Description
Many of us are familiar with the multiple choice classroom polling possible with iClicker, but iClicker Cloud also allows for students to respond to multiple answer (“select all that apply”), short answer, numeric, and target questions on their smartphones. In this talk I will discuss my use of the different question types to promote student engagement in my General, Physical, Analytical, and Pharmaceutical Chemistry courses.
