Teaching with Classroom Response Systems (ePub)

There is a need in the higher education arena for a book that
responds to the need for using technology in a classroom of
tech-savvy students. This book is filled with illustrative examples
of questions and teaching activities that use classroom response
systems from a variety of disciplines (with a discipline index).
The book also incorporates results from research on the
effectiveness of the technology for teaching. Written for
instructional designers and re-designers as well as faculty across
disciplines.

A must-read for anyone interested in interactive teaching and
the use of clickers. This book draws on the experiences of
countless instructors across a wide range of disciplines to
provide both novice and experienced teachers with practical
advice on how to make classes more fun and more
effective."--Eric Mazur, Balkanski Professor of
Physics and Applied Physics, Harvard University, and author,
Peer Instruction: A User's Manual

"Those who come to this book needing practical advice on
using 'clickers' in the classroom will be richly
rewarded: with case studies, a refreshing historical perspective,
and much pedagogical ingenuity. Those who seek a deep, thoughtful
examination of strategies for active learning will find that here
as well--in abundance. Dr. Bruff achieves a marvelous
synthesis of the pragmatic and the philosophical that will be
useful far beyond the life span of any single technology."

and Learning, and Associate Professor of Literature, Media, and
Learning, Honors College, Baylor University
