8 Creative Uses for a Student Response System in Education

While these systems are commonly used for quizzes and polls, there are many creative ways to leverage an SRS to enhance the learning experience. The key to successful implementation lies in thoughtful question design, clear instructions, and a well-planned integration of the student response system into the course structure. 

Here are eight ways instructors can use a student response system in their classroom:

1. Gamification: Turning lectures into interactive games can be a powerful way to engage students. Instructors can create quiz competitions, where students form teams and compete against each other using the response system. This approach reinforces concepts and promotes collaboration and healthy competition among students.

“Some students may hesitate to ask questions in front of their peers. The response system can provide an anonymous platform for students to submit questions or concerns, which the instructor can address in real time or during dedicated Q&A sessions.”

2. Attendance and Participation Tracking: Instructors can automate attendance, assign attendance points, and have results sent directly to their learning management system (LMS) gradebook to remove the manual aspect of this potentially time-consuming task. They can also see which students are actively engaging with materials and who may need extra help. 

3. Concept Mapping: Instead of using the response system for traditional quizzing questions, instructors can use it for concept mapping exercises to show the relationship between concepts. This helps instructors assess understanding and organization, promotes active learning, and can help identify misconceptions and develop critical thinking skills. 

4. Real-Time Quizzes and Polls: Instructors can add interactive quizzes during lectures and ask multiple-choice, true/false, or short-answer questions related to the course material. Live polls can provide instant feedback on teaching methods, content, or class dynamics.

5. Peer Instruction: A student response system can facilitate peer instruction, where students answer a conceptual question individually, discuss their responses with peers, and then answer the question again. This approach encourages active learning and collaboration and helps identify and address any learning gaps.

6. Flipped Classroom Activities: In a flipped classroom structure, instructors assign videos or readings to review before class. During class, instructors can use an SRS to assess students’ understanding of the material. This allows you to focus on deeper discussions and applications during designated class time.

7. Anonymous Questioning: Some students may hesitate to ask questions in front of their peers. The response system can provide an anonymous platform for students to submit questions or concerns, which the instructor can address in real time or during dedicated Q&A sessions.

8. Multimedia Integration: Response systems can be integrated with multimedia presentations, allowing instructors to embed questions or polls within their slides or videos. This approach keeps students engaged and reinforces critical points throughout the multimedia content.

How to Create a Higher Education Experience Students Want

From in-person learning environments to blended learning and fully remote offerings, the bar for higher education institutions has been raised, and students are now looking for offerings that meet their individual needs.

This blog outlines trends higher education institutions should keep in mind regarding what online students are looking for in their learning experience. 

1. Continuing to Offer Online Courses is Not Optional 

Online learning is one of the fastest growing areas of education. This year, the United States is expected to bring in $87.51 billion in revenue from online learning alone, and this learning medium is anticipated to reach a total of 82.7 million users by 2028, according to research by Statista. The reason is simple enough: online courses offer students the flexibility they need in their education.  

With the demand growing, it is important that universities and institutions alike focus on developing a strategic plan for how they will expand and support an online learning environment. Availability and accessibility of course content is a must, as well as the tech support needed so students and instructors can have the best environment possible in their online educational journey.  

2. Data-Driven Environments Can Transform Education 

The use of data in higher education plays an outsized role in enrollment and retention efforts. While this may not be on a student’s list of what they are looking for in a university, the responsiveness and personalized learning a university can deliver as a result of this are a priority for learners.  

“Traditionally, students have found camaraderie and collaborative environments with classmates in common spaces like the dining hall, library, or the quad.”

Data and analytics also can help faculty and staff identify students who may be at risk of falling behind or struggling academically, allowing for early intervention and targeted support services. This can help prevent students from becoming disengaged or dropping out.

Data can also be leveraged to recognize consistent or trending pain points for courses or certain aspects of a course, which can allow professors and instructors to adjust their approach, ancillary materials, and support provided.  

3. A User-Friendly LMS is Critical  

Regardless of whether students are taking an in-person course or a course that is fully online, a high-quality learning management system (LMS) is a must for developing and distributing content. 

More importantly, the technology that is integrated into the LMS matters. It is crucial for students to be able to access course content online seamlessly. This enables students to have access to any course materials needed in a central location and access to those items no matter the device used. 

A strong LMS also has the ability to create an environment where communication and collaboration can take place despite students being in different locations. It also gives instructors the opportunity to integrate videos, in-video quizzes, and gamification into course content to ensure that the learning environment is just as interactive online as it is in person.  

4. Incorporate Virtual Spaces for Collaboration and Connection 

Traditionally, students have found camaraderie and collaborative environments with classmates in common spaces like the dining hall, library, or the quad. For online students this space no longer exists in the way it has traditionally. Instructors and higher-ed leaders are now looking to recreate these spaces in a virtual setting. 

This could be done through virtual programming and could even include student clubs and activities to incorporate into their online experience. Institutions also have the opportunity to create collaborative online spaces for group projects and study sessions. This promotes social interaction, community building, peer learning, and has other positive benefits in creating a sense of belonging for students who aren’t on campus each day.

Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month is a reminder of the importance of inclusivity, understanding, and breaking down barriers for those with developmental disabilities.

The 2024 theme, “A World of Possibilities,” focuses on people working together to remove obstacles so everyone can do well and succeed. “‘A World of Opportunities’ – we’re celebrating people and working together to remove obstacles. Our goal is to build a community that’s committed to creating a world where everyone can do well and succeed. Join us in making a world where all kinds of people have the chance to thrive,” the NACDD website states.

“…universities can make an accessible infrastructure campuswide, offer assistive technologies, and promote inclusive teaching methods to create an environment where every student can thrive.”

DDAM encourages awareness, promotes inclusion, and challenges societal norms and biases that may perpetuate discrimination. Dedicating a month to this cause helps facilitate conversations around accessibility, equal opportunities, and the rights of individuals with I/DD. 

Challenges Faced by Those With I/DD

I/DD can take various forms, such as physical, cognitive, sensory, and developmental disabilities. Each person’s experience is unique, highlighting the diversity within the community. These disabilities can manifest early in life and often impact a person’s ability to learn, communicate, and perform everyday tasks.

Living with a disability comes with many challenges from physical barriers to limited access to education and employment opportunities, societal stigma, and others. The impact of these challenges vary depending on the specific disability, its severity, and the level of support available.

Promoting Inclusivity in Higher Education and Beyond

In higher education, Developmental Disability Awareness Month emphasizes the active promotion of inclusivity. Educational institutions should create environments accommodating diverse abilities, ensuring equal opportunities for all students.

For many institutions, this involves investing in a campus and culture that highly values diversity and inclusion. For example, universities can make an accessible infrastructure campuswide, offer assistive technologies, and promote inclusive teaching methods to create an environment where every student can thrive.

In the professional realm, employers are encouraged to actively promote workplace inclusivity by providing accessible facilities, implementing flexible work arrangements, and fostering a culture that strongly values diversity and inclusion.

This flexibility allows instructors to tailor questions to different learning objectives through classroom gamification.

How does the dashboard inform decision-making?: An SRS dashboard should provide robust analytics and reporting features to track student performance and engagement. Look for systems that provide insightful data on individual and class-wide progress.

Does it have other helpful tools?: Does the SRS provide additional features and tools, such as mobile apps for on-the-go engagement, attendance tracking, and gradebook integration? 

Does the platform have a user-friendly interface?: A student response system should have an intuitive and easy-to-use interface for both instructors and students, which promotes adoption and minimizes the learning curve.

Is it cost effective?: Consider the overall cost of implementing and maintaining the SRS. Evaluate licensing models, subscription fees, and any additional costs associated with features or support.

Does it offer support and training needed to make the tool a success?: Look for a system that offers instructors and students comprehensive technical support and training resources. Adequate support ensures a smooth implementation and resolves any issues promptly.

Choosing the right SRS not only enhances student engagement but also contributes to a streamlined and effective learning experience, ultimately fostering a positive impact on both instructors and students.
