Research on clicker technology supports it is not a trend or a fad, but a true instructional technology that can change instruction and impact student learning. According to Guthrie and Carlin,1 modern students are primarily active learners, and lecture courses may be increasingly out of touch with how students engage their world. You can use clickers to poll your students, assess their knowledge, keep their attention, provide instant feedback, and encourage participation. Chickering and Gamson,2 early proponents of active learning, designated “encourage active learning” as one of your principles of good teaching.
