Don't Just Ask Questions, Measure Comprehension
A recent study suggests that the value of student polling or surveys in the classroom can increase student performance dramatically (go here for more information). The concept is straight-forward: by allowing educators to quickly measure student comprehension with short and casual questions, they know when it's time to move on to the next topic, or when it's time to make an instructional detour.
We couldn't agree more. In fact, LearnSpace™ was built on the principle that increased student engagement is the key to maximizing the time spent in a classroom. Student polling/survey tools are a natural fit in the classroom and LearnSpace takes the concept further than traditional polling solutions:
+ LearnSpace classroom surveys are built into the same easy-to-use client* you already use for classroom interactivity, so you and your students don't need to learn a new tool
+ LearnSpace makes reporting the results of your surveys in real-time fast and simple with a simple and easy-to-use histogram
+ LearnSpace gives your students the ability to respond with T/F and Multiple Choice answers, but also adds short-answer/essay responses, and Graphical Polling (something you must see to fully appreciate)
+ LearnSpace makes storing your responses easy with the option to export CSV files
Welcome to LearnSpace. Better classroom discussions await you.
