These systems are based on the old \u201cClickers\u201d which are handheld devices<br \/>\nused to transmit student\u2019s responses to a receiver and usually only in response to multiple choice questions.<br \/>\nThe new online versions of this system are more powerful and provide more options for gathering data.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1wkDwbWM_YQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.socrative.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Socrative <\/a>\u00a0is a free web application with an easy to use interface. Once the<br \/>\ninstructor has created a quiz, students can log-in to a virtual room with a number assigned to each instructor.<br \/>\nOnce students have entered the classroom, they can participate in activities such as multiple choice, short<br \/>\nanswer, and true\/false questions. The questions can be answered anonymously or with student names the<br \/>\ninstructor can access reports live or once the quiz has been completed.<\/p>\n<p>Socrative can be used on all web-enabled devices. Activities can also be worked on collaboratively, which<br \/>\nmeans if students don\u2019t have a device in the classroom they don\u2019t miss out on the activity.<\/p>\n<p>*Note \u2013 Socrative supports up to 50 students logged in at one time. If you have more than 50 students in a<br \/>\nlecture theatre you may like to get students to work in pairs or small groups.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Guides:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/15\/files\/2016\/02\/socrative.pdf\">Staff guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/15\/files\/2016\/02\/socrative_student.pdf\">Student guide<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Other online polling web 2.0 applications you might like to investiage include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sli.do\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sli.do<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/blog\/2016\/02\/03\/sli-do\/\">More info here<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.infuselearning.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Infuse Learning<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.quizsocket.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Quiz socket<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/getkahoot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kahoot<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/versoapp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Verso<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.voxvote.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">VoxVote<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/blog\/2016\/02\/10\/voxvote\/\">More info here<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Online student response systems can be quite effective in addressing [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[44,45],"post_folder":[],"class_list":["post-135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-apps-online-tools","tag-poll","tag-student-response"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1573,"href":"https:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135\/revisions\/1573"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135"},{"taxonomy":"post_folder","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_folder?post=135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
