Project description
To achieve the goals listed above, various courses now use PresentersWall. Students can submit their responses to the teacher’s questions and statements with their phones, tablets, or laptops. The results of these votes are revealed immediately, providing teachers with insight into how well their students know and understand the subject matter and enabling them to teach more interactively. Teachers can decide to adjust their planned instruction based on the results of these votes.
