Benefits of Qwizdom

Using the Qwizdom system or other audience response systems seem to reveal unbelievable benefits for students and teachers. With Qwizdom, every student is actively engaged in the material and participating. It is a great way for the students to receive instant feedback. This use of technology keeps students excited about learning. This system allows teachers to track student’s understanding and performance. Qwizdom has become extremely effective for teachers of large classrooms or lecture halls because it gives the teacher the opportunity to discover if the students are grasping the material. Some students may not understand what is going on but may be too shy to ask questions; therefore, the Qwizdom system allows teachers to recognize this and present instructional interventions as needed. It also offers a way to include shy students in a classroom when answering questions without singling them out. Qwizdom creates communication among the instructor, the students, and the material. In some cases, this program can be used for review or other types of games, voting, taking quizzes, and spawning discussions and debates. Whatever the case may be, Qwizdom makes learning interesting and fun!
