Student Response Systems (also referred to as "clickers" or audience response systems), is an instructional technology used to promote active learning in classrooms. The system allows individuals to vote on a topic, take a survey or answer a question during a lesson. Faculty at Salisbury University used different student response systems. PointSolutions is one of the primary systems that is used and it requires all students to an PointSolutions account and subscription. An optional response device or "clicker" may also be used.
Faculty wishing to use PointSolutions should reference the articles available through Instructional Design & Delivery.
