Clickers are electronic voting devices that allow students to anonymously answer multiple-choice questions during class. Using clickers can increase interactivity, concentration, active learning, and provide real-time feedback. With clickers, lecturers can gauge student understanding, identify misconceptions, and tailor explanations accordingly. Both students and lecturers generally view clickers positively as they foster participation, discussion, and a collaborative learning environment.
