A Free-Text Audience Response System To Enhance Team Learning
Robert Badgett, M.D., University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio
A key feature of team learning is the simultaneous revealing of team responses during class. Electronic Audience Response Systems (ARS) have emerged for this task. While “clickers” allow simultaneous revealing, they limit responses to a forced-choice format and require all learners be in the same location. We developed UT Responder, an internet-based ARS that accepts both forced-choice and free-text answers and that can be accessed from desktop or handheld computers.
After completing the workshop, participants will be able to
- recognize the educational value of ARS in Team-Based learning
- explore the advantages and limitations of free-text ARS in small classroom settings through hands-on participation
- improve awareness of novel methods for simultaneous revealing of team answers.
