And if enough people, or the right people, follow you, you can get something truly revolutionary: expert, instantaneous feedback on questions or opinions.
The authors thank Asha Mada, Austin Xu, Bryce Renfeldt, Hetal Raval, Tejal Petal and the other members of the Hoese lab for their feedback on questions.
Participants were instructed to provide feedback on questions lacking clarity and items that could be viewed as potentially difficult to answer.
The instructors spent class time (50 min, three times per week) engaged in lecture interspersed with three to five clicker questions per class period, using the iClicker response system, with time given for discussion and feedback on each question.
In each round respondents were also asked to give qualitative feedback on the questions, to suggest new questions or to modify existing ones.
Altogether, it was possible to get feedback on 38 question responses.
Although the ArboAntwoord facility provides the possibility to provide feedback on a question or answer for further clarification, illustration or information, this feature is not often used.
As founder William Tunstadmitsdoe admits: "Getting people's feedback on the questions and seeing the questions asked is very valuable and helps the system improve".
Comments from observers suggest that, when instructors were following up/giving feedback on clicker questions or activities, they often posed questions to the students.
The researcher met with them at their workplace, where they individually responded to the questionnaire and provided immediate feedback on any questions or obstacles that they perceived while responding to the questions.
