Electronic Voting System

There is a significant body of evidence that greater interaction in face-to-face teaching situations results in increased understanding of complex subject matter, and greater enthusiasm amongst students for learning. Although interaction can of course be introduced without using technology, the presence of an electronic voting system (EVS) encourages valid interaction, as well as encouraging staff to reflect on the potential that student engagement offers to the learning experience. An electronic voting system also offers additional opportunities beyond non-technical approaches, such as students being able respond anonymously (which encourages participation) and the teacher being able to display timely feedback about the group’s responses.

Box of Broadcasts (BOB)

The system is designed to facilitate the easy integration of online time-based media (video and audio) into teaching and learning.
