Personal
Response System - Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
Okay, we can't really make you a millionaire, but we can help
you to make your lectures exciting and keep your students
engaged!
UWIC's Personal Response System (PRS) is an electronic voting
system for educational use. Just like the famous game show, it
enables you to ask your audience - or students - questions and
receive instant feedback on their responses. Its special text
messaging feature and capacity to gather and collate information
speedily also makes the PRS perfect for conducting module
evaluations. Some of the benefits of the PRS are:
• students remain actively engaged during
lectures, which can be reflected in
their attainment
• it allows you to measure knowledge retention and
concept understanding
• attendance rates often improve as a result of
increased student motivation
• discussion and peer learning/instruction are
facilitated by the PRS
