With the Active Learning Platform, it’s never been easier to boost engagement levels and get everyone (yes, even the most disengaged trying to disappear in the back row) involved in the discussion.

Because if they’re not talking or asking questions, they could be either A) surfing social media, B) zoned out, or C) all of the above.

The engagement capabilities in the Active Learning Platform help get conversation flowing not only between you and your students, but your students and their classmates. Now EVERY student in class can be noticed. Even better, you can actually see what they’re learning in real-time.

How does it work? Just upload your slides and teach as you normally would. A simple push of a button lets you add multiple choice, image-based, open-ended and other questions directly into your presentation.

But what if students are scared to answer for fear of being judged or submitting the wrong answer? To eliminate the “awk”, students answer anonymously using their own devices. They can also ask their own questions via these devices, so no one gets left behind.

Instant feedback and analytics dashboards give you a crystal ball view into your students’ minds – know exactly what concepts they’re grasping along with what topics require more in-depth explanation.

University of Michigan professor, Dr. Perry Samson, has experienced the power of using these tools to drive engagement in his own large lecture classes. He measured astonishing results with the percentage of students participating rising from 3% to 66%!

Hear his take on why you want students talking back (and no, it has nothing to with bad attitudes) and how boosting student engagement makes teaching more enjoyable:
