What are Clickers?

“The Interwrite personal response system (clickers) enables all students in a class to answer questions set by a tutor . The tutor can use the results to gauge how well the class as a whole and also individual students are learning. Students submit their responses using an individual handset (the clicker) in response to questions displayed via a computer.  Student responses are picked up by a receiver connected to the computer and can then be immediately displayed to the class and also may be analysed afterwards.”
