College Application
“higher education is heavily reliant on summative assessments. The ability to better gauge the understanding of students during a semester can be created through the use of live audience response systems. Poll Everywhere is a system that provides professors the ability to conduct formative assessments. Overcrowded, undergraduate lecture classes can be transformed to a student-centered learning opportunity through periodic checks for understanding. Placing students first by focusing less on direct instruction and more on engaging students in the content is easily accomplished through Poll Everywhere’s text messaging system. Using cell phones that students already carry, they can answer questions that show their knowledge through the use of polls”. – polleverywhere.com
