8. Classroom Response Systems https://cft.vanderbilt.edu/guides-sub-pages/clickers/
What Is a CRS?
A classroom response system (sometimes called a personal response system, student response system, or audience
response system) is a set of hardware and software that facilitates teaching activities such as the following.
● A teacher poses a multiple-choice question to his or her students via an overhead or computer projector.
● Each student submits an answer to the question using a handheld transmitter (a “clicker”) that beams a
radio-frequency signal to a receiver attached to the teacher’s computer.
● Software on the teacher’s computer collects the students’ answers and produces a bar chart showing how
many students chose each of the answer choices.
● The teacher makes “on the fly” instructional choices in response to the bar chart by, for example, leading
students in a discussion of the merits of each answer choice or asking students to discuss the question in small
groups.
