Audience response systems, also known as clickers, allow participants to anonymously answer poll questions during a presentation. They consist of a radio transmitter keypad, receiver, computer, and projector. Clickers can be used to check knowledge, understanding, and generate discussion through multiple choice questions, voting, and other interactive activities. Support is available from the learning technology and audiovisual teams for clicker software, hardware, training, and initial content creation and delivery.

Editor's Notes
- #3: Lecturers quickly measure students' comprehension, painlessly test problem-solving skills and performance provide prompt feedback to students invite, capture, share, and display student opinion if appropriate, record and export results for further analysis and/or discussion. Students provide anonymous feedback to the cohort and lecturer receive instant feedback on their understanding / performance participate in a familiar 'interactive' or 'game-based’ environment
