Clickers are small remote devices that allow students to electronically submit responses to classroom questions anonymously. This document discusses how clickers can be used to gauge student understanding, encourage participation, and provide real-time feedback to instructors. Clickers promote active learning and student engagement compared to traditional passive lecture formats. The document provides several resources on using clicker technology in teaching.
