What is Socrative?
What are clickers?
Web-based VS physical clickers.
According to various research studies, physical response systems are believed to improve students’ learning through increasing engagement and instructor feedback. However, previous research studies reported some challenges of using these systems that include technology malfunction, hardware issues when the system doen’t function properly, instructor familiarity with the system and clickers hardware expenses. Socrative, which is a free web based student response system/clicker, is seen as a replacement to physical clickers. Socrative requires no software to load and no set up to be done. All that is needed is a device with a web browser and internet connection.
