Electronic Voting Systems (EVS), aka clickers, have been used in the College of Science and Engineering (CSE) since 2004/2005 to add interactivity and engagement to lectures.

Clickers are hand-held personal response systems (similar to those used in the TV programme “Who wants to be a Millionaire?”) that students can use to respond to questions posed by their lecturer. Gathering responses from students during lectures has helped lecturers gauge the understanding of their students, giving them a chance to focus on areas the class is struggling with.

Currently about 80 lecturers are using clickers in the CSE - mainly in first and second year courses. For more detailed information on experiences with clickers in the CSE in 2007/2008 see the report on clicker staff perception . This year we have collected staff perception on the recent RF clicker upgrade (report here).
