DURING CLASSLearning Catalytics and Engaging Media

What has Teachers and Students excited? Learning Cataltyics, a ‘bring your own device’ student engagement, assessment, and classroom intelligence system, allows students to use their smartphone, tablet, or laptop to respond to questions in class. With Learning Cataltyics, you can:

• Assess students in real-time using open ended question formats to uncover student misconceptions and adjust lecture accordingly.

• Automatically create groups for peer instruction based on student response patterns, to optimize discussion productivity.

“My students are so busy and engaged answering Learning Catalytics questions during lecture that they don’t have time for Facebook.”
