Faculty Initiative Grant project:

Undergraduate students are challenged with the fundamental transition from high school learning to college critical thinking. Evidence-based research demonstrates that integration of technology improves student learning outcomes. Socrative Interactive Response System with use of smart phones provides polling, instant feedback, formative and summative data analysis. This project will examine whether Socrative technology reinforces student engagement, motivation, and collaborative learning.
