“Via Response Technologies’ “Using a time-tested method known as “student response,” teachers can engage students in active learning that holds their attention, radically increases participation, and accommodates the mixed content delivery needs of students and professors,” The new Via Response Technologies app leverages the power of social media and mobile communication to dramatically increase student participation and learning, Meer said. “Student response systems, or “clickers,” Via Response gives professors a big assist too --- the app captures information about the students’ performance, tracks progress toward educational goals, and provides information to teachers in a format that can be easily accessed, stored and acted on. “Institutions can even aggregate this data at a higher level to track performance, progress, and improvement across the school or university,” Via Response integrates seamlessly with existing clicker hardware and it revolutionizes the model by bringing iPhones, Androids, and just about every internet enabled device into play with its new platform, Meer said.
