Abstract

This is a presentation of the results of a study on the effectiveness of Personal Response Systems in teaching large groups of students in Business studies. We are going to describe how we planned and implemented our use of this innovation in a pedagogic form. We are also going to present our results from the students' evaluation of PRS (via Blackboard and with special focus group discussions). We have made a number of encouraging findings that are generally congruent with the findings of others: that active learning is generally beneficial as it enhances student learning, especially through the use of interactive synchronous response systems when lecturing to large classes. We found PRS to be a beneficial education tool as it encouraged students to become active learners during the lecture, heighten their motivation to learn, and enhanced dialogue and communication. The various interactivities that were created in this process were not possible using the traditional lecture format.
