Interactive clicker in classroom


This undated handout photo, taken in 2010, provided by the University of British Columbia shows an unidentified student at the University of British Columbia using an interactive clicker in a classroom. A study by Nobel Prize winning physicist Carl Wieman at the university found that students learned better from inexperienced teachers using an interactive method _ including the clicker _ than a veteran professor giving a traditional lecture. Student answers to questions and quizzes are displayed instantly on the professor’s presentation. (AP Photo/Martin Dee, University of British Columbia)
