LectureTools or clickers?
• LectureTools pros:• Can ask various types of question, not just multiple

have own device.• Allows for online note-taking and lecture storage.• Doesn’t rely on PowerPoint.

Experience so far• Students more likely to use devices for work
rather than social media, etc.• Most students had their own devices.• After initial log-in problems, students found
the system easy to use on most devices.

Experience so far• Students need an explanation why LT is being used.• Doesn’t fit all students’ learning styles.• Can be disruptive at the start.• Students need to bring powered devices.• Not as much information can be packed into a lecture.• Lecture needs to be accessible to students without
devices.

Things to think about• Get students to signup in advance.• Spacing of interactive tasks.• Allow time for activities.• Don’t introduce LT part way through a lecture series.• Check wireless status of the room you’re using.• Always have a backup plan.
